Transcription (original language)

Translation (English)

On 3 July [Herr] [..] Henrich Wesemann, former princely [Brunswick-Lüneburg] [commissary?], was [laid] in his hereditary tomb …; [he died] on 21 June …, aged 64 years, 27 weeks and 12 hours (born about December 1642).

Notes

The spread carries "ANNO 1706" on the left page and "ANNO 1708" on the right; the year 1707 rests on the index row "Wesemann, Ernst Henrich, 3.7.1707" (Bild 282), so 1707 or 1708 (image check O2.3a-1, low). PROBABLE that he is the Amtmann Ernst Heinrich Weesemann of Katlenburg (1671–1688; Lead C) and the "Herr N. Wesemann" with 142 Morgen at Ebergötzen in 1689; not the miller's father (born 1642). Grade: STATED (screen draft; the bracketed words doubtful).
