Notes
Replaces the summary reading of 22 October 2026 ("Heinrich Wasman of the middle mill"; archived). A Wasmann was at the Linse Mittelmühle in April 1722, a year before the Mittelmüller Christian Sander is named (1723, D908) and ten years before the entry of 26 July 1732 ("Eleonora Sand[?] … die Mittelmüllerin zu Linse" and the Halle garrison soldier "Hanß Hinrich Wasman"; F374). "Auß der Mittelmühlen" says where he lived or worked, not whether he held the mill. The entry is at the head of Bild 80, so the date and the Bild agree. Paul makes Hinrich Wasman the prime candidate for the miller's father: THEORY/POSSIBLE, circumstantial only (Lead I). Grade: STATED for "Hinrich Wasman auß der Mittelmühlen" and "Henning Meyer Arends Wittwe"; POSSIBLE for the surnames Grot[h]e[henn] and Wöhlert.
