Transcription (German)

d\. 19 und 21. octob. der Müller Johann Ludewig Küster aus Vogelbeck bürtig und Catharina Elisabeth Romeier aus Hollenstedt hier proclamirt u. zu Hollenstedt copulirt.

Translation (English)

On 19 and 21 October the miller Johann Ludewig Küster, born at Vogelbeck, and Catharina Elisabeth Romeier of Hollenstedt, proclaimed here [the banns read at Hohnstedt] and married at Hollenstedt.

Notes

Ties together the baptism of Johann Ludewig, son of Christoph Küster, 24 August 1725 (D280), and the Hohnstedt inhabitants' list of December 1755 (D180), which names the miller Ludewig Küster, born 24 August 1725, with his wife Cath. Elis. Romeyer, 25. The Hohnstedt miller was born at Vogelbeck (the parish was "Hohnstedt und Vogelbeck") and was already a miller at 24. That he is the Salzhemmendorf miller of 1764–1775 "aus Salz der Helden" is not proved. A Franz Küster was Kleinkötner and miller at Vogelbeck in 1689 with a son Ludwig (10) (Teil 7, p. 12).
