Notes

  • The word after 'Hennig Voges' decides whether he was the mother's brother (frater) or father (pater, Vater). Not settled at screen size; a person should read it. Grade: unproven.
  • No cross after the name; a second Johann Christoph was born in 1775.
  • Grade: Probable (identity); draft read.
