She died at Bergen, New Jersey, on 4 September 1711 and was buried there on 6 September 1711. [1]
LNAB is uncertain. Her proper patronymic name seems to be Jans, but the earliest record found calls her Theunis. An error? There's no evidence for her father's name, other than that he was probably named Jan, and maybe that record that calls her Theunis is based on her father's name. Anyway, both names (Jans and Theunis) need to be in the name fields. - Smith-62120 03:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Noticed the problem with/confusion about her patronymic..it probably was Theunis, so father probably was Theunis (Unknown), Jans probably is the first name of her husband, sometimes wifes are recorded with the first name of their husbands as their patronymic/last name ? The Van Blarcom (van Blerkum) is a bit confusing, it's the place of origin of her husband and it doesn't look like she used this for last name?
She was not recorded with van Blarcom as a last name, but because her descendants used that name, it is the name that is likely to be given for her in many published genealogies, online family trees, etc. We need to include these names to help people find profiles.
Voorthuizen is in Gelderland.
