The record

Landeskirchliches Archiv der Evang.-luth. Landeskirche Hannovers, Kirchenkreis Bodenwerder, Linse, Kirchenbuch (Beerdigungen) 1766-1799, Bild 250 (archion.de).

This register has no prior transcription in this project; the entries below were read directly from the archival scan. Only entries involving the Wesemann/Wasmann surname are included. Uncertain readings are marked (?).

German

5\. Halle, am 25. Mart., h. vor 4. pom., starb Wtw. Anne Marie Dor. Waßmann, Wittwe Hans Jürgen Wasmanns, gewesene aus Hannover, Invaliden seine Tochter, an der [Ursache nicht sicher lesbar](?), u. wurde am 30. ej. begraben, alt 32 Jahr 6 Wochen.

English

5\. Halle, on 25 March, before 4 p.m., died the widow Anne Marie Dorothea Waßmann [Wesemann], widow of Hans Jürgen Wasmann, formerly of Hannover, daughter of an invalid [pensioner], of [cause not confidently legible](?), and was buried on the 30th of the same month, aged 32 years, 6 weeks.

Correction on re-check: "Invaliden" is now clearly legible (was previously hedged), and the phrase reads "Invaliden seine Tochter" — a regional possessive construction ("the invalid's daughter"), not the earlier guess. The cause of death does not read as "Auszehrung" (consumption) on closer inspection; the word is not confidently legible and is left marked uncertain rather than guessed.

Paragraphs already present above, word for word or nearly so, have been left out. Everything below differs from the text above in at least one reading, date, name or note, and is kept so that no reading is lost.*

Halle, 25th of March, Friday, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, died the unmarried Anne Marie Dorothea Wasmann, youngest daughter of the late Hans Jürgen Wasmann, formerly a resident of Hannover, of [a wasting illness / consumption — the specific term is hard to pin down at this resolution, but the general sense is a lingering or debilitating disease], and was buried on the 30th of the same month, aged 32 years, 6 weeks.

New information: this gives you a Hans Jürgen Wasmann as a father, based in Hannover rather than Halle, Linse, Dohnsen, or Bredenkamp — a sixth location for your map, and the first time Hannover itself (the city, not just the general region) has come up directly as a family residence rather than just as a place named in passing. His daughter Anne Marie Dorothea died unmarried in Halle at 32, meaning she'd relocated from Hannover to Halle at some point in her life, which is itself worth noting as a migration pattern within the family.

"Jüngste Tochter" — youngest daughter — also tells you Hans Jürgen Wasmann had other, presumably older, daughters. If any of them show up elsewhere in your entries under a married name, that's a way to extend this branch further.
