Children: Jan (1700), Geertjen (1705, married Jan Kuipers), 2 more children (1703, late 1705).
Derk Ribbers is most likely the Derk Bennink mentioned as the father in Geertjen’s baptism record. Children sometimes took on the mother’s last name instead of the father’s, especially if it was the husband who moved to the wife’s estate.
