I think William (Jr.) must have been born around 1738 and that Mary must have died shortly thereafter, because Johann (Sr.) remarried to Susannah Catharina MOYER about 1939. She is the mother of all the other 11 children of Johann (Sr.). When you say you descend from Elias, do you mean Johann Elias BAST, born 1747, from the 2nd wife; or John Elias BOST, born 1772, the son of Johann Wilhelm (William) BAST, Jr., from the 1st wife; or John Elias BOST'S son, Elias BOST, born about 1815? Whatever the case, I would love to have your data to add to my personal database if you could send to me via email ([email protected]) I would greatly appreciae it. My BAST/BOST connections are that my g-g-grandfather, John P. WILKINSON, married Frances Mahala BOST. Frances' descent is thus: Johannes Wilhelm BAST, Sr. (b.1720) ..Johannes ? (John) BAST, Sr. (b.1743)(from 2nd wife, ..not "William", Jr., from 1st wife.) ....Conrad BOST (b.1774) ......Silas BOST (b.1808) ........Frances Mahala BOST (b.1840) ..........William Wallace WILKINSON, Sr. (b.1869) ............Lenora WILKINSON (b.1897) ..............Mary Frances BROYLES (b.1921) ................Me (b.1938) Regards, George W.
