Hello KG,
Translation:
No. 6. Scholl and Schollin.
On the 13th of May [1819], midday at 11:00 am here were married and legally blessed the budding local citizen and master tailor Christoph Scholl, legitimate unmarried son of the deceased citizen and master tailor Philipp Scholl and his deceased wife Margaretha, née Kemm, 26 and 3/4 years, and with him Magdalena Schollin, legitimately conceived daughter of the late local citizen, master tailor, and wine tavern innkeeper Matthias Scholl, with the late Elisabetha, née Gamerin, age 26 years. Witnesses are master mason Matthias Scholl and court clerk Wilhelm Kemm, both citizens.
Graben, on the 13th of May 1819. T. G. Beck, pastor.
Comment: This is probably a cousin marriage. Do you know how the groom and bride are related to one another?

Robert Seal_1 Philipp Scholl, b 1759 (the youngest son of Matthias Scholl b 1718), had a son named Christoph Scholl b 1792. Matthias Scholl b 1744 (the oldest son of Matthias Scholl b 1718) had a daughter named Magdalena Scholl b 1793. On the 13th of May 1819 the two married. They had 7 children. None of their children lived to adulthood. Magdalena Scholl died at 56 years on 22 Feb 1850. Christoph died eleven days later at 57 years on 5 March 1850.
Very interesting. Is marrying cousins this close legal? Thanks, KG

You're welcome, @Kent Gardiner.
First cousin marriages were not unheard of. Had this been a Catholic marriage between first cousins, I suspect the couple would have been required to get a dispensation from the Catholic Church to marry.
I have mid-19th century 3rd great-grandparents who were first cousins who married in 1837 in southern Ohio. That makes both my mother and my siblings my distant cousins as well.
