Are you sure of this fact for the child's name and birthdate? The
Reformed Dutch Church records for New Amsterdam show that in 1659 a
daughter Helena was baptised on 4 April:

4 Apr; Johannes Van Brug, Catharina Roelofs; Helena; Johannes de
Peyster, Annetje Bogardus, Marritje Loockermans

In 1660 a second daughter Helena was baptised:

28 Jul; Johannes Van Brug, Tryntie Roelofs; Helena; Cornelis
Steenwyck, Anneken Loockermans

Usually (but not always) the naming of a second child as the same as
a preceeding one indicates the first had died.
