It's partly my guessing from the context, but it could be Gastwart(?) zum weißen Rößl = innkeeper at the sign of the white (little) horse.
Usually it should be Gastwirt (with i instead of a), but maybe it is an older form.
"Zum weißen Rössl" is a very common name for a Gasthaus. There exists even an operetta and a classical German film with this title. Here a video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IhDa4Tutzc (pay special attention at 1:00 😊)

Ulrich Neitzel Your guess appears to me to be correct. I have been researching many documents regarding Mattheus Rößler and remember one of them said he was an innkeeper. Your skills absolutely amaze me. I appreciate your insights and depth of knowledge. You are awesome!!! Kent
