You did very well with the transcription and translation! Most of my additions are minor grammatical corrections which require good knowledge of German to do it right. The "d" before a date means "den", cf. in English "on [the]".
My additions in bold:

Question: I did not know "gebohren" was a form of geboren? I thought the letter was an "h", but then assumed no way.
You are correct that the modern spelling is "geboren". In my transcriptions I try to follow the original spelling in the document; in most older documents "gebohren" is used. Other examples of older spellings in this record are "drey" (now "drei") and "todt" (now "tot").
Comment: I wonder whether "Oldenbüttel" actually refers to "Koldenbüttel", which is much closer to Herrenhallig than does Oldenbüttel?
That is correct - and another example of different spelling: the place is written "Coldenbüttel" here. "C" is often used instead of "K" in old documents.
Comment: The record implies his bro. Fridrich was still living at the time of Hans’ death. Would you agree?
Yes, I do.

Hello Rob, the second clip seems to be wrong; it is the birth record of Nicolaus Heinrich Honnen (which is already translated).

@Ulrich Neitzel Sorry about that. Too many screen clips. Here is the last part of the record.
