Name: Karl Johann Bast
Occupation: Pferdefutterer and Deputant

Notes:

Birth:
Half-brother to Albert Gutknecht. Father unknown. "Plegesohn?" Possibly adopted by Gutknecht, from a second marriage. Son of Gottihard Johann Gutknecht, but logically should be Johann Joachim's child, as he was born 16 months before the next child to Friederike Bast. Logically, Joachim and "Gottifred" are the same person. Also, in the Iowa "Hawkeye Heritage" publication, a John J.G. Gutknecht is listed. It is possible the J.G. stands for Joachim Gottfried.
