Transcription (original language)

24 9bris morgens gegen 3 Uhr ist [Dietrich?] [Hunke/Kunke?] ein Sohn geboren, welcher d. 28 ejus getaufft. Gevattern waren Joh. [?] [?], Joh. Heinrich K[ü]ster[?] und Frau Clara K[ü]sters[?], welche das Kind genannt Joh. J[?].

Translation (English)

A son of [Dietrich?] [Hunke?]; sponsors possibly Joh. Heinrich Küster and his wife Clara.

Notes

Küster couple in town in 1717, a generation above Maria Eleonora, if the reading holds. 8 Oct 2026: no Küster at Salzhemmendorf in 1689 (Teil 5), so a Küster couple here in 1717 would be early arrivals or visiting sponsors; read on the image.
