The record

Page 169/273 - 1764

born 27 June 1764, died 6 July 1785. That's 21 years and about 9 days — which matches almost exactly the "alt 21 Jahr, 10 Tage" from the death entry you sent earlier today.

This is the same person. The marginal note at the bottom of this birth record — "† 1785, d. 6. Jul., hor. 9. vesp." — is a later annotation added to the baptismal entry to cross-reference the eventual death. That's a real find: you've now matched a birth record to its death record 21 years apart, both anchored by exact dates that agree.

I need to correct my earlier transcription, though. This birth record clearly names the child as a son — "ihren Sohn," Johann Georg Christian — but I'd read the death entry as describing a "Jungfer" (unmarried woman) and "Tochter" (daughter). Given how uncertain I flagged that section at the time, I think I misread it. The deceased was very likely male: Johann Georg Christian Wasmann, son of Johann Heinrich Wasmann and Sophie Maria Ahrens, born 27 June 1764 in Linse, died 6 July 1785 at age 21.

That also cleans up the confusing "Johann Georg Wasmanns... Johann Heinrich Wasmanns" phrasing from the death entry — it wasn't describing two different men in an unclear relationship to the deceased woman. It was simply naming the deceased himself (Johann Georg [Christian] Wasmann) and his father (Johann Heinrich Wasmann) in the same line, which is exactly the standard format you've seen in every other death entry today.

So, corrected entry for your spreadsheet: Johann Georg Christian Wasmann, b. 27 June 1764, Linse, son of Johann Heinrich Wasmann & Sophie Maria Ahrens; d. 6 July 1785, age 21y 9d, cause as described in the earlier entry (the womb/dropsy-sounding description may also need a second look now that gender is corrected — worth revisiting that phrase with this new information in mind, since a cause I read as reproductive-related wouldn't apply to a man, so I likely misread that too).
