However inconsistent it might seem, there it is. The DNA doesn't lie, and multiple people have been tested.

It is easy to put too much weight on first names. In this area and at the time in question, using the last names of prominent families for first names was done not only by actual relatives but by other families. The Hardemans were a prominent family.
