Karl Pick (sometimes Bick) was born in approximately 1792 in Allenbach.
He served in Napoleon's army and fought against the Russians.
In 1814, he was settled in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana.
Milovidov records that as of 1814, Karl Pick's father, mother, two brothers, and three sisters were still living in Allenbach.
He is recorded on the 1834 Census of Yagodnaya Polyana in Household No. 157. He does not appear on the 1857 Census of Yagodnaya Polyana, so must have died before 1850.
His descendants continued to live in Yagodnaya Polyana.
Heinrich Pick and Georg Konrad Pick from Yagodnaya Polyana and their families are recorded on the 1857 census of Neu-Yagodnaya-Polyana.
Milovidov records that Karl Pick came from the German village of Allenbach in the region of Lothringen.
