Alias: John /Bost/
German spelling Baust was born and educated in Germany, born ca.
1718/1720. He migrated to America by 1730 and he was active in the
Lutheran Church of Bucks Co., Pa. from 1740 till the summer of 1754. In
the fall of 1754 he moved his family to Cabarrus county, N. C. He settled
near the town of Concord along the Adams River or Adams Creek, in a
community with other German families. He helped establish the St. Johns
Lutheran Church. The road leading to the church site went through his
land and was known as the John Bost Meeting House Road and traces of the
road still remain. John Bost died in 1777.
John and Susannah Catharine were the parents of 14 children. They were:
William b. 1739, Anna Maria, Leonhardt, Maria Catharine, John, b. 1743,

George d. 1808, a daughter (name unknown), Dorthy b. 1759, Christina and
Margaret.
According to his will, John Bost was a very wealthy man. He owned many
acres of land, tenements, and slaves. The original will of Johannes Bost
(also spelled Bast) as well as 22 legal sized pages recording the estate
settlement is in the N. C. Dept. of Archives and History. Susannah
Catharina ---- Bost b. ca. 1724/25. She died ca. 1800 in N. C. It is not
known if she was born in Germany or Pa., but it is known that she married
John Bost in Berks Co., Pa. Nothing is known of her parents at this time.
John and Susannah Catharina Bost were the Great great great grandparents
of Charles Scott Chafin.
Note: From information from the Bost family history it is now assumed the
John Petree and Dorothy Bost married in Cabarrus Co., N. C. in 1778, that
the two families were neighbors in Buck Co., Pa., that they migrated to
N.C. about the same time. John Petree was born in Pa. and Dorothy Bost
was born in N.C. That John and Dorothy Bost Petree lived in Stokes Co.,
N. C. until the time of his death and then Dorothy returned to Cabarrus
Co. to live and raise her children on land she inherited from her father.
that she died there after 1830 and before 1840.
Notes from Biography: The Johnannes Bast Family by Mary Pegram West
Johannes Bast was an educated German, a farmer, the father of fourteen
children and all were ardent Lutherans. The first records found to date
are in the History of Old Williams Township Congregation (Lutheran) of
Bucks Co., PA. but now in Northampton County due to county line changes.
Here we find the names of his wife, Susanna Catharina, and nine of his
children. Their church activities are set forth from 1740 until the late
summer 1754.
It is safe to assume that the whole family left PA by early fall 1754 and
came to NC where they settled in this community of many German families.
Johannes secured a land grant on Adams Creek, west of St. John's Church.
Some of his descendants are living there today. Traces of the old John
Bost Meeting House Road remain on the farm even though the road has not
been used for several generations. His land was within walking distance
of the church., Johannes died in late 1777 but Susanna Catharina was
living in 1787. Both must have been buried at St. John's but their grave
stones have crumbled long ago.
