English translation

Eva Barbara, legitimate daughter of Christian David Knoll, tailor-master here, and his wife Maria Catharina née Baumgärtl from Schwarzenbach, born 10 September between 11 and 12 and baptized the next day; margin: died 16 February 1829.

Notes. The weekday reads like Mittwochs, but 10 September 1795 was a Thursday; the age at death supports the 10th. The margin ties the entry to the burial of 1829. Grade: STATED;
