Notes

  • My read of the sponsor line is not secure; the 1720s hand is dense and run on. Lead only.
  • If right, a Franz Brand had an adult or near-adult son by 1726, so the Franz Brand of 1736–1770 may be a second generation of the name.
  • Grade: Unproven (insecure read).

Conventions

[ ] editorial addition or expansion; [?] uncertain reading; [...] illegible or outside the crop; [sic] as written. Spelling, capitals and abbreviations follow the register. Draft reading from screen-resolution images, not yet checked by a person.
