Other Events:

• Immigration: April 16, 1886 matches the birth date, but not the same person
• 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.

Other Events:

• Name: Johann, John J. G. Gutknecht (according to Friedrich Christian Wilhelm Gutknecht's obituary)

Notes:

Birth:
Unknown if Johann Joachim and "Gottifred" Johann are the same person. Logic would dictate that they had the same spouse 16 months apart from births, and that they are the same person. I originally listed Gottihard incorrectly as Gottfried. However, the Grundsteuer lists him as Johann Joachim Gottlieb

Died:
