I could be wrong but if that is a dot over the 7 then it is actually a 1 which would make him be born in or around 1814.

Dear Mr Benedik
I've found a clue to discard the assumption about Josef Gutenkunst being the Same person as the one who was born in 1785, In his death record which I located in the St Georgen Records from the Archives of Vojvodina.

It clearly states that he was 87 years old when he died in 1895, indicating that he would have been born around 1808.
But there is also something which I find surprising, next to the column where it appears that he was a already a widow of his wife Katharina Krämer, it shows his place of origin as St. Georgen, but with an added question mark, what could this mean?
Maybe the priest who registered this record didn't had enough information to really confirm where did Joseph Gutenkunst was born?
Unfortunately this opens more questions than answers, since I still haven't been able to find out who could be Josef's parents.
