Bom, Cornelis (d. 1689)
Cornelis Bom, a Mennonite baker of Haarlem, Holland, emigrated to Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1683, and died there about January 1689. In a letter written in late 1684 he reported that he owned one "negro" slave. Cornelis Bom van Cranenburch, who in 1632 was a preacher of the Flemish Mennonite congregation at Schiedam, Dutch province of South Holland, and concerning whom some documents are found in the Amsterdam Archives, was not the same person as the emigrant of 1683. He may have been a relative.
