English translation
No. 15. Margaretha Kunigunda, lawfully begotten little daughter of Christian David Knoll, mill factor [doubtful], and of his wife Maria Catharina, née Bün[d]gärt [doubtful], of Schwarzenbach an der Saale; born on 10 June between 11 and 12 noon and baptized the following day. Godmother: Margaretha Kunigunda Wöhl [doubtful], wife of Master Johann Georg Wöhl [doubtful], citizen and butcher in the said Schwarzenbach an der Saale.
Notes. PROBABLE that she is the Margaretha Kunigunda Knoll, eldest daughter of (Christian) David Knoll, who married Johann Adam Uhl on 18 February 1821 (aged about 29). The parents are those of the 1798 baptism of Johann Georg (PROBABLE one couple), so she was PROBABLY his full sister. The 1790 butcher Christian Knoll married Eva [?] Barbara Fickentscher (212105 Bild 109): a different wife, carried as two men. Image to save: Bild 195, left page, no. 15, with the "1791" header.
Jun. Mittags zwischen 11-12 Uhr gebohren und am Tage darauf getauft worden"; godmother Margaretha Kunigunda Wohlin [?], wife of Mstr. Johann Georg Michel, citizen and shoemaker in Schwarzenbach an der Saal.
