Hello Carol,

I read the first line in column 5 as:

Heckenbinder, Heurl[ing] d. Meyr

A Heckenbinder is worker who binds thorn hedges into fences and prepares them (Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm, https://woerterbuchnetz.de/?sigle=DWB&lemid=H04705#0)

A Heuerling is a dayworker on a farm or estate, d. Meyr means probably des Meyr, i.e. he worked for a man or farm called Mey(e)r.
