Notes

  • The birth day reads 14 or 19.
  • A second Heinrich Christian was born to the couple in December 1780; this child probably died before then (inference; no death note seen, burial not searched).
  • Louise Voges of Linse shares the mother's surname; not linked.
  • Grade: Probable (identity); draft read.
