Good afternoon @Kent Gardiner,

Your questions answered:

(1) Is Philipp's profession mentioned after his name? Is he a tailor? Yes, he is a "B. u[nd] Schneider" = citizen and tailor, and he is also identified as a widower.

(2) Is Katharina Huthe? the daughter born i4 Aug 1807? Yes, Katharina is born 4 August 1807. She dies 1 March 1870 [not 1820].

(3) What is Katharina's last name? Her last name is Scholl. What you interpreted as "Huthe" is actually the word "hatte" = had.

(4) Does NB stand for illegitimate? NB = Nota Bene = note well. It is used to draw the reader's attention to something important. Here it is telling you the following: "NB. Katharina hatte ledig" = Note well: Katharina had unmarried: [the following three children, Katharina, Elisabetha, and Wilhelmine].

(5) Does Katharina's second child, Elisabetha have an illegitimate child born 20 May 1857. Yes, that is correct. [Did the "NB NB" draw your attention to this?]

(6) Please translate the final entry after NB NB.: "Elisabetha hatte unehelich: Emma Katharine, geboren 20 May 1857" = Elisabetha had illegitimately: Emma Katharine, born 20 May 1857.

My comment: Here is the link to Katharina Scholl's death record on Ancestry which confirms her death date is 1 March 1870: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6407658:61060?tid=&pid=&queryId=98ee36ca5995d2ecd69738d21ba68098&_phsrc=ITU5&_phstart=successSource
