Translation (English)

Master Caspar Schäfer had a daughter baptized [Misericordias Domini, 14 April 1709], born on [8?] April at 1 in the afternoon; sponsors as listed; the child Anna Margaretha. Margin: she is the Wasmann [wife]; [died] 1760.

Notes

The margin and the year 1760 fit the widow of Joh. Christian Warmann, Anna Margaretha Schreiber, buried October 1760 aged 51; the father's surname (Schäfer here, Schreiber in the 1727 marriage and the 1760 burial) is an open equal-tier conflict. Grade: STATED (the entry as read); the surname conflict open.
