William Bost and his family, moved to Catawba Co. William has a son, also named Elias. Someone told me all the sons were named Johannes plus a middle name. I was never told this through my family, but... I am looking for a document to link Elias (b. 1772, m. Mary Ikerd) with his father Jonathan (b1800) who married Salome Lutz. All are buried at St Pauls Lutheran cemetery in Newton, NC. I know that Johannes Wilhelm Bast aka William Bost, is listed as a patriot in the DAR books. I am just missing the link listed above. I keep hoping someone from Elias' (1772) or Jonathan's families will have something to link them. My family, although we also descend from them, only were given names.
