Translation (English)

On 8 May [1753], Elisabeth Brockmann's illegitimate son Johann Christoph baptized. The father is said to be the soldier Johann Christoph Sporleder.

Notes

POSSIBLE that this soldier is the "Corporal Sporleder" of 1765–1767 and the Christoph Sporleder who married in November 1767, and so perhaps the Christoph Sporleder of Esperde who stood godfather at Linse in 1777 and 1782; how he was related to Hinrich Wilhelm is not known. Grade: STATED (the entry).
