More Information:
He was shoemaker (1754), barkeeper (1795.)10,11 He was mentioned in the will of Cornelis Trovest and Hendrijna Lucas on 12 Dec 1741.4 He and Harmen ten Bruggencate Janszn were in Jan 1784 guardian over Aletta ten Bruggenkate.12
Klaas Troost made a will on 17 Mar 1799. He rescinds all his previous wills. He leaves to his son Gerrit Jan Troost the half house with the garden, in which testator is living, and half of the garden with the house in it, situated next to the garden of Gerrit Hagedoorn Lzn., if he pays ƒ1250.- into the estate. He names as sole heir Gerrit Jan Troost, the children of Johan Philip Loreij and his wife Hendrina Troost, testator's daughter, the children of his son Bernardus Troost, and the children of his late son Cornelis Troost to be divided into 4 equal portions, with the proviso that the inheritance of the children of Bernardus Troost and of Cornelis Troost will be administered by Gerrit Jan Troost and Johan Philip Loreij until the children reach their majority or get married. His son and son-in-law Gerrit Jan Troost and Johan Philip Loreij are allowed to take the money they loaned to Bernardus Troost from the portion of Bernardus Troost's children. If the children of Bernardus Troost would die without issue, the inheritance goes to the survivors, and the parents will never get anything. Testator wishes, if he leaves a letter, signed in his own hand, this will be considered an extra legacy. If any of the heirs, and specifically his son Bernardus Troost, whom he has disinherited for exceptional reasons, should dispute the will, than he will only get his legal portion.7 Klaas Troost's estate was probated on 17 Feb 1800. Johan Philip Loreij and Gerrit Jan Troost were present.7
