Hello @Kent Gardiner,
Yes, this is very confusing.
I checked the record again and the word before both female baptismal sponsors' names is: sponsa = engaged woman, fiancée, bride, intended, betrothed.
Even substituting "bride" for "fiancée" doesn't make sense because "bride" infers newly married.
Perhaps the scribe made a mistake in identifying these two women as "sponsa".
Note that this birth took place in the first week of April 1696. You should minimally search marriage records for April through December 1696 and all of 1697 to see if you can find a marriage record for (1) Peter Keller and Anna Margaretha; and (2) Hanß Jost Wentz and Sabina.

Robert Seal_1 Robert when this entry says baptismal sponsors: Mr. Peter Keller, mayor, and fiancée Anna Margaretha. Hanß Jost Wentz and fiancée Sabina it is very confusing to me. Here are Peter Keller's children:
Who are Peter Keller II's (bap 23 Apr 1657) and Margaretha Konig's children?
1. Anna Margretha was born 10 Dec1682 KJJJ-2KL Anna Margaretha married Peter Hornus in 1703.
2. Johann Peter Keller was born 5 Sep 1685 97Z4-SVK
3. Johann Christoph Keller was born 3 Nov 1686 9KNS-X9D and death 31 Jan 1728
4 Anna Christina b 3 Dec 1696 KJJV-174
Joss Wentz KGCM-HRY married Sabina about 1682 which adds more confusion.
I might be missing something but fiancée makes no sense to me because in 1696 he already has 3 children. I am not expecting you to research this, just wondering if you have any ideas for me to research. KG
