I don't have a lot of historical information on the Gaast family. Henry Gaast was born in Hannover Germany in 1830. I don't know when he came to the USA. He married Maria Hall (Alexander, Leonard, Taylor, she had 3 prior husbands) in 1856. They had four children and lived in Clinton County, Iowa. Henry died in Iowa in 1864. He was killed when a team of horses ran away with him. If this is the family you are looking for I have some more current information about his children and their decendents. Henry Gaast was my Great Great Grandfather.
