I did some research on Volkie (it's a female name) and she was assumed to be a relation of Pieter's by early researchers but it turns out she wasn't. She had a patronymic of Pieters and witnessed the baptism of one of the grandchildren but she was not a Quackenbosch.

I'll have to find in the records who her husband was again.

She married first Garrit Jansen Stavast first and Pieter Mees Vrooman second. Early Records Vol. II, p. 156-157 https://archive.org/details/earlyrecordsofci02alba She married Adriaan Appel third. Year Book, 1904, pg 21 https://archive.org/details/yearbookofhollan00holland

The Quackenbosch grandchild she presented for baptism was Johannes' daughter Magtelt.

I may have concluded that the patronymic came from Vrooman but am still looking.
