Translation (English)
Twins Jost and Johann Andreas, father Martin Halves, mother Maria Magdalena Sander (who died in childbed). For the elder: Jost Sander, Margaretha Abraham, Hans Henni Moers's wife. For the younger: Johann Andreas Halves, Catharina Elisabeth Wesemann, Andreas Halves's wife.
Notes
The sponsor is the Catharina Elisabeth Wesemann born 1688, who married Andreas Halves in 1713 (F270): PROBABLE; the only Wesemann of the parish in these years. No Wesemann father 1702–1712 or 1722–1732 (F282). "Cathar. Elis. Wesemanns; Andr. Halves Fr." read as one person (as in 1727); a second Catharina Elisabeth Wesemann would change F270 (flagged). Grade: STATED; identity PROBABLE.
