3. Alberta

4. David
Son David was baptized in the Jacobikerk on 11 April 1884, his parental address being aan de Bakkersbrug. Five years later, while still living at the same address, David died and was buried on 4 June 1789 in the Jacobichurch.
5. Gerrigje
Gerrigje was baptized on 10 October 1786. She had an illegitimate child, called Adriana (generation IX), that was baptized on 1 April 1806. Doophefster, i.e. the person "presenting the child to be baptized" (godparent), was Antje Vermeer, the child's grandmother.
Adriana was recognised on 20 March 1809 by Steven Bitter after he had married her mother Gerritje on 7 March 1809 in the Catherine church. After the marriage two more children were born. On 6 June 1817 Gerrigje and Steven divorced, however, a rare event in those days. The reason must have been that Steven was condemned by the court of Amsterdam on 19 February 1816 to a schavotstraf, a public display on the scaffold, and 5 years of Tugthuis (prison). Steven had stolen a piece of gold from the Rijksmunt. By law it had been stipulated that this lead to a divorce.
