English translation
On 29 March, about one o'clock in the morning, the first was born and half an hour later the other; they were girls, and were baptized the same day. Children: Eva Catharina (died 1815) and the other, Christina Elisabetha (died 3 April 1754). Parents: Johann Ulrich Sautter, [keeper of the Stern inn?], and his wife Margaretha née [Pferschig?] of [Flehingen?]. Sponsors: Johannes Schmid and his wife; Bernhard Mayer of Zaberfeld and his wife.
Notes. The RE-CHECK noted the day could be 26; the 27 October re-read reads "29ten", and the age at Eva Catharina's death (61 years 8 days on 7 April 1815) fits 29 March 1754. Sautter's office, the mother's maiden name and her place are not settled from this image (the family register p. 486 has "Pferschig" of Flehingen and "Sternwirth"). Grade: STATED as a record;
