Thanks Robert, this puts the finishing touch on Jakob Becker's page https://www.gatheringgardiners.com/2022/03/jakob-becker-1782-1838.html
BYW 1838 less 56 years does end up at his birth year.
When I look at this document I think to myself, that looks like a lot of work figuring out all the ins and outs of what it says. I truly appreciate all you do. Kent

You're welcome, Kent. Just like your patron yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if you could read and translate quite a bit of this record. The handwriting is legible and the words distinctly separated. If you enlarged the record you might surprise yourself at what you could decipher.
