Longevity ~ Sija (90) & Helena Josina (93) Bax

In Dordrecht, Holland, on 26 May 1820, Jacoba van Efferen (1798-1863) gave birth to a son whom she named Gerrit. Jacoba is a daughter of Gerrit van Efferen and Jacoba van Dalen, so she named her son after her father. Earlier, on 29 January 1819, Jacoba had given birth to a girl named Martina. She was named after Martijntje Vijfwijk, wife of Bernardus Stam, and mother of Jacob Bernardus Stam.
Jacob Bernardus Stam married Jacoba van Efferen on 13 September 1820 in Dordrecht, and the children Martijntje and Gerrit were legitimized. 

At the age of 23, Gerrit Stam married 24-year-old Sija Bax in Dordrecht on 31 May 1843. Sija was born on 31 October 1818 in Dordrecht. Her parents are Johannes Bax (1794-1833) and Elisabeth Littig (†1866). Sija was named after her grandmonther Sijgje van Wingerden (†1801), wife of Andries Littig (also Lieddig) who was born in Knopshof in Germany

Among other siblings, Sija Bax had 2 younger sisters: Helena Jozina, born on 22 January 1824 in Dordrecht, and Elisabeth Johanna, born there on 8 July 1827. On 31 May 1843 in Dordrecht those 2 sisters were married to 2 brothers, Adrianus and Jan Willem 't Hart.
At the age of 26, Jan Willem 't Hart (1832-1895) married Elisabeth Johanna 't Hart, aged 31, and they had 3 children. Elisabeth Johanna died there on 12 March 1907, aged 79.
