All that I think we truly know about her is where she lived, who she married (and we have a basis for estimating the date), and that she died before 27 October 1609. Maria is the name of her son's wife and Dryeskens is her husband's patronymic (not her last name).
Is there a reliable source I don't know about?
The naming practice you describe was not followed by the Dutch in the 16th and 17th centuries. Middle names were unheard of. A person's second name was their patronymic name, derived from their father's first name. For example a son of Jan typically would be recorded with the patronymic name Jansz, Janse, or Janssen and a daughter of Jan would be called Jans. The name Dryeskens is unusual, but the short article by Henry B. Hoff, entitled "Van Valckenburg Ancestry in the Netherlands" in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 112, issue 2 (April 1981), page 79, indicates that it is a patronymic name for a son of Andries (probably a name from a Dutch-related dialect, such as Flemish or Frisian). Her son got that patronymic name because his father was named Andries.
Her LNAB should be changed to Unknown -- I will revise it if you don't want to do so.
Additionally, it is useful to know that Dutch women did not normally use their husbands' last names. I have seen a few exceptions to this principle, mostly women with exceptionally prominent husbands, such as Marritie Olafs (Van Cortlandt) van Rensselaer. We Americans tend to assume that our ancestors had the same naming practices that prevailed in America of the early 20th century, but that is not the case. The New Netherland Settlers project has a policy of not applying a husband's name to a woman unless there is a contemporary record of her being identified by that name; unfortunately, we continually contend with WikiTreers who diligently add husbands' names to the Current Last Names fields for women who never used those names.
I am sure that you are quite capable of correcting this profile since it is not locked.
Since you have decided that it is in error and have changed the Biography to what you decided it should be then you should have changed the profile also. You want it changed then DO IT.
I am sure that I will get another reply from you that is neither needed or wanted. Again you don't like this Van Valkenburg listing then YOU fix it, I refuse to change it.
As a WikiTree volunteer leader for the New Netherland project, I spend a lot of time trying to help other members connect with good information about New Netherland families and their Dutch ancestors, and that is what I have been trying to do on this profile -- part of our WikiTree collaborative efforts to develop the best possible genealogical information. Pretty much everybody with New Netherland ancestry comes to the topic of New Netherland genealogy with many misconceptions (I know that I did!), and I think it is important to help others learn (just as others have helped me learn).
