Hello @Jenealogy,

Number 20: Schneider = tailor.

Number 21: Colonus = colonist, settler. [Ernest Thode, German-English Genealogical Dictionary, adds the following definition in addition to the other two: farmer (on a full-sized farm).]

Number 19 is more challenging: may be an abbreviation of "Heuerling" = renter, tenant.
