German
[Preceding entry’s name, top:] Maria Magdalena. — d. 20 Mart. Hanß Christoph Bonnin [Bönig] zu Dohnsen einen Tochter. Gevattern sind Hanß Sporleder, Christoph filia(?); Anna Cathrina, Hanß Meyners Tochter; und Anna Margarethe, deß Hanß Herman Wasmans Tochter; allen zu Dohnsen.
English
On 20 March, to Hanß Christoph Bönig of Dohnsen, a daughter. Godparents: Hanß Sporleder, [..](?); Anna Catharina, daughter of Hanß Meyner; and Anna Margarethe, daughter of Hanß Herman Wasmann; all of Dohnsen. [Name not captured.]
Notes
Date problem. A 20 March entry sits after the 29 May and 23 November 1728 entries on Bilder 108 and 110, so the year is probably 1729 rather than 1728. Verify against the year heading before citing.
A second daughter of Hanß Herman Wasman, Anna Margarethe, distinct from the Anna Catharine of Bild 108.
Fourth Bönig baptism with a Wasmann sponsor. A Sporleder also sponsors — the Sporleders reappear at Linse in 1804 as the Brand family’s in-laws.
Re-read 19 October 2026: the year heading 1729 stands above the 23 January entry on Bild 111, so this 20 March entry is 1729 (the date problem in the note is settled; the file name keeps 1728). B3.6a;
