Transcription (original language)

Paul Wasmann (heading underlined, clear) einen Sohn getauft; gevattern Hans Henni Koch, Cathr. Lis. Koch, Hinr. Andr. Berner; note about 23 weeks after the Copulation; child's name partly cut off; margin cross with a year read as 1792. (Draft.)

Translation (English)

Paul Wasmann is a father in 1715. The 23-week note does not fit a wedding of Nov 1712, so either the marriage entry or its date needs another look.
