# The parents of Gerrit van Wijk Gerritsz: I have not found a lot to go on yet, but the inventory drawn up in 1771 after the death of Erasmus Smit, informs us that his daughter, Martha Smit, was married to Gerrit van Wijk, and adds the patronymic 'Gerritsz.', the son of Gerrit. I cannot see that there was any other Gerrit son of Gerrit to qualify. In addtion the witnesses at the baptisms of their children, are consistent with this parentage, those on his side of the family being Maria Magdalena Ekhof and Abraham van Wijk (who would be his half-sister and full brother).
