Baptism — Catharina Margaretha Knoll, daughter of Christian David Knoll and Maria Catharina [Baumgärtl?], Marktleuthen, 13/14 March 1790 (entered as no. 10 and apparently again as no. 38)

Transcription (German, as read)

No. 10 (Bild 191): "Catharina Margaretha Knollin [doubtful: could also be read Knellin], [des] Christian David Knoll [doubtful], [Bürgers? and] Tuch- und Woll-Fabrican[t]en [doubtful] [aus/in ...] [place not read], und [dessen] Ehefrau, Maria Catharina, einer gebohrnen B[aum]gärtlin [doubtful] und gedachten Ehefrau, [ehelich] erzeugtes Töchterlein, ist am 13. März abends zwischen 5 [and] 6 [doubtful] Uhr geboren und am folgenden Tage getauft worden. Die Tauf-Pathin ist Catharina Margaretha Meinhardtin [doubtful], des Melchior Meinhardt [doubtful] [Bürger and ...] [place not read]."

No. 38 (Bild 193, set in a bracket): "38. Margaretha Catharina Knollin [doubtful, as in no. 10], des hiesigen M[üller-Factors?] [doubtful] Christian David Kn[oll] [doubtful] u. seiner Ehefrau Maria Catharina, einer gebohrnen B[aum]gärtlin [doubtful] aus Schwarzenbach an der Saale, ehel[ich] erzeugtes Töchterl[ein], ist am 27. Dec[.] [doubtful: month word; the next word reads like "geb[ohren]"]. Die Tauf-Pathin ist Margaretha Cath[arina] Meinhardtin [doubtful], des [?] Melchior Meinhardt in [place not read] und [dessen] Ehefrau."

Note below: "N.B. Diese letzte Kindtaufe steht hier nur, weil dieselbe schon N° 10 eingetragen worden; die Numera 38 aber wird ersetzt durch Num: 19 [?] [three more lines not read with confidence: a word that may be 'Todtgeborenen' or a trade; 'ist eingegeben worden']." ["dieselbe" and "10" are the clearest words.]

English translation

No. 10: Catharina Margaretha, lawfully begotten little daughter of Christian David Knoll [doubtful], cloth and wool manufacturer [doubtful], [of ...], and of his wife Maria Catharina, née B[aum]gärtl [doubtful]; born on 13 March between 5 and 6 [doubtful] in the evening and baptized the following day. Godmother: Catharina Margaretha Meinhardt [doubtful], [daughter] of Melchior Meinhardt [doubtful], [citizen ...].

No. 38: Margaretha Catharina, lawfully begotten little daughter of the local [mill factor?] [doubtful] Christian David Knoll and his wife Maria Catharina, née B[aum]gärtl [doubtful], of Schwarzenbach an der Saale; [born?] on 27 Dec[ember] [doubtful]. Godmother: Margaretha Catharina Meinhardt [doubtful], [daughter] of Melchior Meinhardt of [place not read] and his wife.

Note: "N.B. This last baptism stands here only because the same was already entered at No. 10; but number 38 is replaced by No. 19 [?] …"

Notes. The parents, the mother's town (no. 38) and the godmother agree; the clerk's note appears to say that no. 38 repeats no. 10 (POSSIBLE: one baptism entered twice). The date "27. Dec." in no. 38 does not fit 13 March; whether it is a birth, a baptism or the day the repeat was written is not settled. It cannot be a separate child: Margaretha Kunigunda was born on 10 June 1791. The child was buried on 30 October 1790, aged 7 months, "jüngstes Töchterl" (212120 Bild 85; PROBABLE). No other Knoll opening line in August 1789 – December 1790 (surname scan, not a transcription). Image to save: Bild 191, right page, no. 10; Bild 193, right page, no. 38 with the note.

März abends zwischen … gebohren und am folgenden Tage getauft worden"; godmother Catharina Margaretha Reinhardtin [Meinhardtin], wife of Melchior [Meinhardt]. No. 38 (Bild 193): "Margaretha Catharina Knollin, des hiesigen Wollenarbeiters Christian David Knolls u. seiner Ehefrau Maria Catharina, einer gebohrnen Baumgärtlin aus Schwarzenbach an der Saal, ehel. erzeugtes Töchterl. ist am 27. Dec. gebohren; die Tauf-Pathin ist Margaretha Cath.: Meinhardtin, des hiesigen Melchior Meinhardts [trade not read] Ehefrau"; beneath: "N.B. Diese letzte Eintragung steht hier nur, weil dieselbe schon Nr. 10 eingetragen worden; die Nummer 38 aber wird ersetzt durch Num: 19 [?] … im [Taufbuch?] ist eingetragen worden" (the numbers 10 and 19 doubtful). English: the father is a cloth and wool maker (no. 10) and a wool worker (no. 38); the mother is née Baumgärtl of Schwarzenbach an der Saale; the note says in part that the same child was already entered as no. 10.
