Notes:
Church head elder and duck catcher, lived in Großenheidorn. He oversaw the reparation of the chapel in Großenheidorn in 1694/1695.

A description of duck catching on the Steinhuder Meer was written in 1617: The duck catcher kept semi-tame ducks in a small hut at the edge of the lake. These ducks would lure wild ducks to feed with them and enter the hut. When the duck catcher closed the entrance to the hut, the semi-tame ducks would find the secret exits prepared for that purpose, but the wild ducks would not, and could then easily be caught in the hut and killed. A map drawn in 1740 shows the duck catching hut to be on the shore a half mile northeast of Steinhude.

Gerst, Caspar Pastor

Married	____, Margrete ( +>1664 Husum, Nienburg/Weser, Hannover)
Children:
    1. Gersten, Justus Henrich Engelbert Pastor ( +1686 Husum, Nienburg/Weser, Hannover)

Notes:
Also called Gerstmann, Gerstig, Gerstmar, and Westermann. He was schoolmaster in Mandelsloh for three years, in Wölpe for four years, and then in Loccum. He fled the monastery in Loccum (as did everyone) in 1625 during the Thirty Years' War. His clothes and several books were stolen from him near Sachsenhagen. In 1626 the residents of Husum (now Husum Kreis Nienburg/Weser) hired him to replace their previous pastor, who had fled to Wolfenbüttel after Tilly had burned his house and a third of Husum with it. The text of their letter of 18 March 1626 to the duke for his consent to the hiring is still extant. Gerst was named as pastor on 28 April 1626.

In 1641 he was temporarily suspended from preaching in Husum because he withheld confession from some people without grounds, increased the confession fees, and removed some pews from the church. For four weeks the pastor in Schneeren delivered the sermons in Husum.

In 1664 he had a maid named Anna Küker.

Caspar Gerst served in Husum until his death in 1664. The superintendant from Neustadt, Jessaeus, promised him before his death to help his son become pastor in Husum, which he did.

Pastor Gerst was described as a pious, exemplary man, well founded in philosophy and theology, granted by God with a considerable talent for preaching, and well received by his congregation because of his piety.

    2. Gerst, Wilhelm Daniel Pastor (*1600 Elnhausen, Hessen-Kassel +1670 Erda, Hessen-Kassel)

Notes:
Or Gerstius, Gerstinus. He studied in Marburg, was admitted in 1572 and immatriculated in 1573. He was pastor in Elnhausen, just west of Marburg, 1588-1606. About Jacobi 1606 he was removed from his position because he refused to sign the so-called "Vier Verbesserungspunkte", imposed by the Calvinist Landgraf Moritz von Hessen-Kassel. He lived as a private citizen in Schweinsberg 1606-1608, then from Lent 1608 until 1619 he served as pastor in Leusel, near Alsdorf, in Hessen-Darmstadt. He was the first pastor in Leusel (and for many years thereafter the only such pastor), and served Altenburg also. At first he continued to live in Schweinsberg, even though it was a three-hour trip each way. Later he lived in Leusel in a house no better than a stable; the parish had refused to build a more suitable parsonage. He also served as teacher at that time. In 1619 he became pastor in Bernsburg (to which Arnshain was affiliated), where he continued to serve until 1624, when he retired. He was to have served again in Elnhausen starting 1624, when the area became Lutheran again, but he resigned in favor of his son Wilhelm Daniel.

HUSUM says that he served as pastor in Estorf, Kreis Nienburg/Weser, after 1624, but there was no church in Estorf at that time.

Notes:
Windmiller in Altenhagen. He worked for his future father-in-law as a millers apprentice in Steinhude and is listed so as a baptismal sponsor for Annen[?] Brinckmans on 22 September 1693. He leased the windmill in Altenhagen Easter 1696, initially for five years, for 80 Talers a year. This contract was repeatedly renewed each five years. On 29 September 1699 he was baptismal sponsor for Johan Jürgen Rodemeÿer in Steinhude. In 1726 the windmill rent increased to 90 Talers. The same year, Holste complained that a few farmers in Großenheidorn, who were supposed to send their grain to his mill in Altenhagen, were sending it to the neighboring province instead.

Taufpate: der Alte Schwiegervater Holdebrandt.

HAGBG gives his marriage date as 21. Juni 1696.
