1. On the 17th of the same [month], at 8 o'clock in the morning, [a child] was born to Christoph Wasmann, [of a place beginning with "Erb-"], and was baptized on the 19th of the same. Godparents were: 1) Johann Firma Leute, of Erb-; 2) Johann Harms[?], of Erb-; 3) Anna Catharina Ohland, of [the same place]. Named:
Johann Heinrich.
A place name recurring as "Erb-" across all three godparents suggests a village name starting with those letters — possibly Erbsen, Erbstorf, or similar, none of which you've confirmed yet in this register. Worth a closer look at a higher-resolution crop if you want the exact place, since it could be a new anchor point alongside Dohnsen, Bredenkamp, and the others.
This gives you another Christoph Wasmann fathering a son named Johann Heinrich — a name pairing (Christoph → son named Johann Heinrich) that's appeared before in your entries, which continues to suggest these given names cycle heavily within the family across generations. Given the page context (near your 1748 entry), this is likely from the same mid-18th-century stretch of the register, so worth logging as part of that earlier generation rather than the later Halle/Linse cluster from the 1780s–1800s entries.
