Lysbeth Damen (b. 1660, m. Cazier) and Elizabeth Damen (b. 1676, m. Schermerhorn) may be completely different women. The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume 47, p. 165, cites a 1707 deed by Michael Parmentier (husband of Neeltje Damen, another sister) that named Martha Sympson of Flatbush, Peter Uziell and Cornelia his wife of Dutchess Co, Samuell Phillips and Aelkie his wife of New York, Lucas Skermorhorne and Elizabeth wife of Dutchess Co, Frans Konin and Selia his wife of Dutchess Co, Philip Cazier of Richmond Co heir to his mother Lyshie, and Russia Damon of Flatbush, stating Said Neltye, Martha, Cornelia, Aelkie, Elizabeth, Selia, Lyshie, and Russia being daughters and co heirs of John Damon late of Flatbush, deceased. Lyshie must have been Lysbeth.

It appears that as many as three different women may have been confounded. According to the current profiles Damen-2 (Lysbeth Janse) was born in 1660, married a Casier/Cazier, and died in or before 1707. Sister profiles showing a birthdate of September 20, 1676 are Damen-19 (Lysbeth Janse) who married Schermerhorn and died in 1743 and Damen-18 (Aeltje Janse) who married Phillips and died in 1707,

In addition to those profiles, which all have the same parents, two other likely matches that don't show parents are Damen-70 (Elizabeth), born September 20, 1676 and died in 1743, and Damen-74 (Aeltie), born in 1668 and died in 1707.
