Geertje Casperse Hendrickse Steynmets - Please revisit

One man who is currently connected as a husband is Andries Willemszen Hoppe

Andries currently has 3 wives with the "same" name so there might be a clue there, epecially as two of his wives are mother and daughter.

Wow... Sounds like a clean-up job for you... ;)

Clean-up in aisle 17(th century)

severing from Steynmets family, explanation to follow.

Quoting Wilson V. Ledley's article The Van Dien Family; page 952 of Genealogies of New Jersey Families: Families A-Z, pre-American notes on old New Netherland families

“Ackerman in his Hooper Genealogy said that according to a deposition made Dec. 18, 1658, Geertje stated she was a daughter of Casparus STeinmets, but on checking his source (Orphanmaster’s Minutes, p. 58) the present complier has found no such statement.”

The reference to Ackerman is presumably https://familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.a...

So it seems that Akerman published an unsupported claim in the 1947, which is readily available online for free, and that claim is repeated ad infinitum in online trees (because no one likes a dead end!).
