German
d\. 25 Jun. Hanß Curd Meüger(?) zu Dohnsen einen Sohn. Gevattern sind: Christoph Sporleder; it. David auß dem Schmiede zu Dohnsen; und Ihr[e] Maria Wasmans, David filia. Nomen: [Jo]h[an] Christoph.
English
On 25 June, to Hanß Curd Meüger(?) of Dohnsen, a son. Godparents: Christoph Sporleder; likewise David from the smithy at Dohnsen; and Maria Wasmann, David’s daughter. Name: Johann Christoph.
Notes
> David filia makes the relationship explicit: Maria Wasmann is David’s daughter, and David is at the smithy at Dohnsen. Combined with David Wasmanns Frau on Bild 93, this is one household across eight years. > > The smithy reference is the second occupational identification for a Wasmann in the batch, after the Halle tailor. Neither is a mill.
