Dirck Volckertszen, first son, first child of Volkert Dircks and Annetje Phillips, born 1667
Philip Volckertszen, second son, third child of Volkert Dircks and Annetje Phillips, born 1670 (Philip was likely named for his grandfather, his mother's father, a continuation of the patronymic system from the Scandanavian countries--repeating mothers' family names within the names of the children and grandchildren is a tradition within our family continuing into modern times).
