Hans Jacobsen Hartje and Geertje Lambertse Mol had a total of ten children. Two children, both named Lambert, after Geertje's father, died as babies. The first baby named Lambert was chr. 26 Apr 1676 and died in 1679. The second baby named Lambert was chr. 21 Nov 1683 and died shortly thereafter.

Some researchers indicated that another child named James was a part of this family, but I believe this child was actually Jacobus, sometimes referred to as James in Dutch/American families.
