Karl Pick (sometimes Bick) was born in approximately 1792, probably in France. He served in Napoleon's army and fought against the Russians. He was captured by the Russians, and in 1812, was settled in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana. 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.
