Fer. 1. Pentecost. Henning Lillepop einen Sohn getaufft. Gevattern ... Johan Waßmann (or Wasmann) fil. Molitoris ... (Draft at moderate zoom; the Latin word is cramped.)

Translation (English)

A Johan Waßmann stands godfather in 1694 and is described as the miller's son.

Notes

Part 2, step 0; F17. If the reading holds it ties a Waßmann son to a miller in 1694, five years after the census Erbmüller Hans Waßmann.

Re-read 20 October 2026 at maximum zoom: "2. Johan Waßmann fil. Mo[…]"; only "Mo" is legible, so "Molitoris" stays PROBABLE.
