    Mansell Upham (Rootsweb, 24 Maart 1999) het daarop gewys dat hierdie inskrywing foutief is. Hendrik is as b2c1d1 opgeneem in De Villiers en Pama sowel as SAG. Ariaantjie Jacobs, die weesmeisie, was getroud met Gerrit Janse van Deventer en Gerrit Basson was die GETUIE by die doop. Hy en sy vrou, Johanna Rynick, was blykbaar kinderloos.
