Transcription (German, as read)
"Dem Blasius Schlötzer, Bürger d. Ziegelmeister dahier, wurde am fünfzehnten Februar von seiner 2ten Frau, Eva Barbara, einer geborenen Knollin von hier, ein männlicher Knabe todt geboren. [Anhaltige?] Brustschmerzen verursachten diese zu frühe Niederkunft [doubtful: the words after "todt geboren"]." Margin: "Schlötzer dahier, todtgeb., 104".
English translation
To Blasius Schlötzer, citizen and master brickmaker here, a male child was born dead on 15 February by his second wife, Eva Barbara, née Knoll, of this place. [Persistent?] chest pains caused this premature delivery [doubtful]. Margin: Schlötzer, here, stillborn, house no. 104.
Notes. The entry calls Eva Barbara Knoll Blasius's "2te Frau": direct evidence of an earlier wife; the 1813 and 1815 baptisms (mothers Margaretha and Eva Barbara) raise the count to three (THEORY). Barbara Knoll of 1825 as the same woman: PROBABLE. Image to save: Bild 221 (no. 9).
