Proclaimed on the 4th and 5th [Sundays after Trinity]: Johann Ludwig Küster, bachelor, lawful son left by the late Hans [Arend?] Küster, [miller?], and Miss Anne Engel [..], lawful daughter of Christoph [Berkers?]; married in July [1774].

Notes

A second Johann Ludwig Küster a year before the miller of 1775; either another man or the same man's entry with a misread father. If the father reads Hans Arend, he may be the Kuventhal son of 1732 (THEORY). Image check I69. Grade: STATED for the groom's name; the rest doubtful.
