Facts and Events
Through the efforts of Israel A. S. Yost, we have learned of the two Jost generations preceding Hans Peter Jost in Germany. Hans Peter’s father was Hans Nickel Jost, who lived in Baumholder, Germany, part of the Rhineland Palatinate. Hans Peter’s mother was Maria Margretha Kirsch Jost, daughter of Johannes Kirsch, a censor in Berschweiler, Germany. Hans Nickel and Maria Margretha were married March 21, 1683. From those marriage records it is known that Hans Nickel Jost’s father is Caspar Jost, a burger (district official) in the Rhineland-Pfalz area of Germany. Caspar was 78 years old at his death, and was buried on January 15, 1711, indicating he was born in 1633. References
