Orphan Johannes Kaster (age 3), whose unnamed parents died on the transport of Oberlieutenant Leontev, is recorded on the 1767 census of Brabander in Household No. 24 along with the Johannes Haas family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Kaster and Haas families.
The 1767 does not record from where Johannes Kaster came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
