Halle, 2nd of May, between 10 and 11 in the evening, the Hannoverian invalid, Hans Jürgen Wasmann, died of a lingering/general illness and was buried on the 6th of the same month, aged 44 years.

This closes out the Hans Jürgen Wasmann branch nicely. You now have his full arc: a Hannover invalid (disabled veteran) who relocated to Halle, fathered at least Anne Marie Dorothea (b. 1751, confirmed 1764, died 1783 unmarried at 32) and at least one other daughter (from the earlier "ein Töchterlein" entry with the Meyer/Sabban/Reiners godparents), and died himself at just 44 — relatively young, consistent with a man whose military service may have left him in poor health for years before his death.

If his death is roughly contemporary with or shortly after Anne Marie Dorothea's baptism-adjacent entries, this gives you a working birth year for him too — roughly 1720s if he died at 44 sometime in the mid-to-late 1760s or so (worth pinning down the exact year of this entry from the surrounding pages if you haven't already).
