Sorry, obligatory to post this now!:
My ancestor Johann Jorge Kast was mentioned in the Moravian diaries...
Born in Rohrbach in Palatine Germany about 1679 he came to America with his wife Anna Margetha Feg/Feck in 1710 and a few years later had a trading post on the Mohawk River in what is now Herkimer County, NY..
The only white man for miles he would lead the Moravian missionaries to the Indian tribes and interpret for them...He was described as “big and rough but trustworthy”...
