Hello @Kent Gardiner,

Translation:

192. On the 10th of January [1726], a little daughter of Matthias Scholl, the tailor, from Maria Eva his wife, was born, so thereafter was baptized and was named Catharina Barbara. Baptismal sponsors : Christoph Keller, the "Rössleins Würth", and Maria Catharina his wife; Martin Metzger and Maria Elisabetha his wife.

Hi Kent,

Re: Rössleins Würth:

I don't know -- it's very similar to the occupation (in bold below) we saw yesterday:

443. On the 10th of July [1736], a little son of Mattheus Scholl, the tailor, from Eva his wife was born, thus was baptized and was named Andreas. Baptismal sponsors: Hanß Georg Waibel, the butcher, and Elisabetha his wife. Hanß Georg Hörner, baker, "Rößlinswirth", and juryman, with Maria Catharina his wife.

My comment yesterday: "Rößlinswirth" is new to me. I found about ten examples of this word online but none with a good definition other than "innkeeper". Perhaps an innkeeper at the sign of a horse or horseman?

Hi Kent and Robert,

Robert is quite right that this is another "Gasthaus" in Graben: the "inn at the sign of the (small) horse". Ross is an older German term for English "horse" (both words have probably the same germanic root). Rösslein/Rößlein (sometimes also Rössel) is the diminutive form = a small horse. It was a rather common name for a Gasthaus. Some are still existing, here an example: https://www.gasthaus-tritschler.de/

Obviously there was an owner's change in Graben between 1726 and 1736 from Christoph Keller to Hans Georg Hörner.
