Notes

  • The first known child of the couple, married 28 April 1763 (390646, Bild 49).
  • The mother's surname here reads Voigt(s) or Vogt(s); the baptisms of 1766–1783 read Voges (Paul read Voges in the 1780 entry). One woman, spelling variants; the form is not settled.
  • 'aus Dielmissen' is the first of three Dielmissen references (1764, 1769, 1775); the 1763 marriage says 'aus Siekwitte'.
  • The name Johanne Marie recurs in 1778, so this child probably died before then (inference).
  • Grade: Probable (identity); draft read.
