Restatement of an apparently lost agreement with her children's guardians prior to her marriage to Everardus Bogardus. Promises each their share of their father's estate, and gives the names and ages of the children: Sara Rouloffs, aged about sixteen years; Trijntjen Rouloffs, aged thirteen years; Sijtjen Rouloffs, aged eleven years; Jan Rouloffsen, nine years old; and Annitjen Rouloffsen, aged six years. The last, Annitjen, is not mentioned in her mother's will of 1663. Presumably she died childless during the interval.
