Almost perfect, @Robt_Nielsen ! "Der junge Gesell" can have various meanings. Literally it means "the young companion", together in one word ("Junggesell(e)") it now means a bachelor. "Geselle" together with a craft it is used for a journeyman e.g., Tischlergesell(e) = journeyman carpenter. In this case it probably just indicates that Hinrich Grefe was still unmarried.
