   7.  Stillwell (op. cit.) believes that the parents of Elizabeth
       Gerritszen are Cornelis Gerritszen and (__).  Riker (op. cit.), in his
       discussion of the Britton family, speculates that they may be Gerrit
       Gerritszen and Annetje Hermanse.  However, he does not list Elizabeth
       as a child of Gerrit and Annetje when he address that family (p. 612).
