English
On 27 November, to Herman Wasman of Tuchtfeld, a daughter. Godparents: Anna Maria, daughter of Johann Böhmer(?); Hanß Meyer of Tuchtfeld; and the wife of Hanß Boker(?). Name: Anna Maria.
Notes
> A settled Wasmann household at Tuchtfeld by late 1726. The same Anna Maria Böhmer(?) sponsored the Tuchtfeld herdsman’s son sixteen months earlier alongside Herman Wasman, which ties the two Tuchtfeld entries into one social circle. > > The child is named after the lead godmother, the clerk’s consistent practice in this volume. > > Herman Wasman of Tuchtfeld remains the best candidate for the August Wasmann who sponsors at Tuchtfeld in 1735 (Bild 143) being of this household.
