Notes:

Her abt b. & birthplace are found in (1) & (3)
The children were all born on Staten Island as listed in (1) & Their names were all given in their fathers will (4). Her mg. to Pieter Pieterse Haughwout on 4 Nov 1683 is found in (3).
She died on Staten Island presumbly, although there exists no record of either her death or burial.
The registers of the First Dutch Reformed Church on Staten Island, located at Port Richmond, begin in 1696; although there were religious services there prior to that date, the records of baptisms there do not exist prior to 1696. We have therefor a period of time extending from 1683, the year of the mg. of Pieter Pieterse Haughwout , until 1696---13 years---during which time we have no records of the bap. of any of his children; nor their deaths, nor marriages. Hence we find no record of the bap. of his children elsewhere, we cannot determine exactly the order of his childrens births but must approximate thereto by reasonable deduction. The childrens names were all given in their father Pieter Pieterse will (4)

This son Pieter Jans Haughwout was probably the emigrant ancestor of the Leffert-Haughwout families in the United States
Source (1) Pieter purchased a house in Flatbush in 1661 and died before 15 Oct 1662 . From an application made by Femmetje Hermans to have guardians appointed for the two youngest children on 15 Oct 1662, we learn their names & their ages. Leffert is age 11 yrs. & Pieter Pierterse is 2 & a half yrs. Apparently the father Pieter Jans & his two older children have died in the 2 & a half yrs. between 15 Apr 1660 & 15 Oct 1662. Pieter Jans purchased a house & a lot in the town of Flatbush (which is now within New York city limits),in 1661, as per p. 47 of Liber B of Flatbush records. He was a shoemaker & farmer by trade.

Notes:

Haughwout is an anglicized form of Hoogwout (High Wood) and is undoubtly derived from the ancient town of that name, in the province of North Holland. (Hoochwoud in West Friesland)
Quoting from (1) NYG&B Vol 66 pp. 302-313, 974 B2n, Haughwout Family Notes "From this Prehistoric-Genealogical sketch it would seem to appear that the Haughwout-Lefferts family of New Netherland was of Drenthe-Overyssel origin and we may therefore tentatively suggest that its Dutch origin for a certain period prior to the emigration of the New Netherland ancestor may be indicated by the following blood line, viz.:
#1Captain Johan or Jan Hagewolt of the infantry who was transferred to Drenthe and commissioned a captain of a troop of horse on Feb 25 1640. He probably had 2 sons, viz.: Egbert Jansen Hagewolt & Jansen Hagewolt.
#2 Pieter Janse Hagewout b. Abt 1621& d. Abt 1662, in Flatbush,Long Island,New York. He Married Femmetje Hermans & they both emigrated from Holland to New Amsterdam in Apr 15 1660.

Harmen married Geertjen Jansens 29 Aug 1641, Goningen, Hervormde Kerk, Netherlands. Geertjen was born Abt 1618, Goningen, Hervormde Kerk, Netherlands; was christened 27 Jun 1618, Scherpenzeel, Gelderland, Netherlands; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
