Looks like 1795 maybe October 26 but I not sure. Thought was so cool too.

Gutknecht Goodnight-1 and Gutknecht-25 appear to represent the same person because: merge from compound surname to Gutknecht-25

Gudknecht-1 and Gutknecht-25 appear to represent the same person because: these profiles obviously represent the same man. Two profiles for son Samuel were merged first without addressing duplicates of their fathers. Different dates can be listed in merged profile if necessary. (Any proof of either date anyhow?) Gutknecht is proper German Spelling. (Name probably Anglicized to Goodnight almost immediately by clerks, etc.)

Father's name was either Hans, Michael, or Hans Michael. Original source for that would be nice, also.
