The record

Image 142 (written pages 276–277, "1813") — priority hits only — MAJOR page

Entry 29 — Priority 7 hit, MAJOR, Standing Rule 1. Village: Linse, 4 November, morgens [9?] Uhr. Father: Müller Brünig [no given name recorded in the entry as written — possibly assumed known to the reader, or lost to a crease/tear across this leaf] — a daughter born. Mother: Charlotte Zengerodt(?)/Sengerodt(?), of Holzen(?), alt 41 Jahr. Godparents: Edel[?] Sadtberg(?); der Richter Johann Heinrich Gerber(?), Meyer(?), of Kemnode. Baptized 10 November.

— This is the strongest direct evidence yet for Priority 7: "Müller Brünig" at Linse itself — a miller Brünig resident in the village, not merely a godparent or a Halle-based namesake. Combined with the "Müller Johann Friederich Brünig" at Halle (Image 128 Entry 14) and Heinrich Christoph Brunig as household head at Linse (Image 122 Entry 34, occupation illegible there), this makes a real case that a Brünig held a milling position at Linse in this period — directly bearing on whether Brunig preceded or coexisted with the Halbrodt tenure. The missing given name here is a real gap; worth a closer look at the original leaf if possible, since a crease/tear runs across this part of the page.
