Notes

  • ‘Ludewig Wesemann’ is probably the miller’s son Georg Ludewig (baptized Halle 1777), aged 17. Compare the ‘Johann Heinrich Ludewig Wesemann’ of 1797 (Bild 174, entry 8).
  • The entry number and Conrad Müsing’s village are not legible in the crop.
  • Same couple as Bild 174, entry 9 (Heinrich Ludewig Meyer and Catrine Elisabeth Eickhoff); the mother’s second forename differs.
