Transcription (original language)
Des Maßmüllers Küster Ehefrau ... Wedemeiern ... einen Sohn. Sponsors Joh. Andreas Küster, Johan Christoph Wedemeier, Johann Wilhelm Kamp[?] (draft)
Translation (English)
The 1770 son is named Johan Ludewig; sponsors include a Küster and a Wedemeier.
Notes
- Names the father as a miller; compare the Delligsen master miller. 8 Oct 2026 (night): FIRST in the order with D02 (Part 2, step 17(a)). Read the third sponsor at full resolution: Johann Wilhelm Kampen, Christine's father, would put her family in the Küster household seven months before her marriage. Test the trade word "Maßmüller[?]" against Malzmüller (malt miller) and Mahlmüller; a malt mill would tie the Küster mill to the brewing von Campen household (F20). Note who the first sponsor, Joh. Andreas Küster, is.
