Can someone translate these birth records?
The following are birth records for children of Jacob Huber and his wife Maria Magdalena.
They are in Annweiler, Bergazabern, Germany. Rheinland-Pfalz
I would like to know what it says after Jacob Huber, is it a place or occupation?
Also where the sponsors are from on these. One place is probably Queichhambach but the others are unreadable. I am trying to track down where the Hubers are originally from so hints are helpful.
Thank you!

Hello @Linda Johnson_18,
Here is a translation of the third record for Johann Daniel Huber:
Born on the 13th of April [1756] and baptized on the 19th of the same month: Johann Daniel Huber.
Parents: Johann Jacob Huber, citizen and wool weaver here, and Maria Magdalena his wife.
Baptismal sponsors: (1) Johann Daniel Runtz, citizen and wool weaver here. (2) Johann Jacob Glaßen, citizen and stocking knitter here. (3) Christina, surviving widow of the late Johann Geörg Schwartz, former citizen and red tanner here.
My comments:
The words after the father's name in this record are: Johann Jacob Huber, Bürger und Wollenweber dahier = Johann Jacob Huber, citizen and wool weaver here.
Here is a definition of "red tanner" from the German Wikipedia:
The job title of red tanner is derived from the craft of tanning , which has largely disappeared today, a specialized form of tanning that processed cattle hides into hard-wearing, strong leather, for example for shoe soles, boots, saddles, or knapsacks. The leather is hardly elastic, but it gains in thickness during tanning at the expense of the surface and becomes very resistant to water and weak acids.
