More Information:

Gerrit Boom and Aleida Vixeboxen had no children.6
Gerrit Boom registers the death of his sister Eva Wessels. Their mother Geertruid Hagedoorn was first married to Wessel Geerlighs (whose children would have the patronymic Wessels), and then with Hendrik Boom. The baptisms don't start until 1734, so there is no baptism for Eva, and she is also not in the census, but she was prob. already 17 y.o., and so could live elsewhere.7
Gerrit Boom and Aleida Vixeboxen with her guardian Harmen ten Bruggenkate Lzn made a will on 19 Jan 1790. They name each other as sole heir. Both leave their father his legal portion, as well as their clothes.8
