English
On 27 June, to Hanß Christoph Bönig of Dohnsen, a son. Godparents: Johann Wasmann, corporal; (2) Johann Heinrich Bönig, [..] Wasmann’s [..]; (3) Ilse Catharine Bönig [..]. Name: Johann Heinrich.
Notes
> Johann Wasmann is styled Corporal, a military rank. A fifth occupational identification, and again not a mill. > > The second sponsor’s line couples a Bönig forename with a Wasmann surname in a relationship phrase that does not resolve at this resolution. It should be re-read: it may state the kinship that Bild 59 asserts but leaves unspecified. > > Fifth Bönig baptism with Wasmann sponsors, in a fourteen-year run.
