Hello, my German is limited so I'll need a pro to confirm the translation of Item 14, dated March 7, 1759.

Best I can tell, Rosina gave birth to Johann Frantz Hücke after the death of her husband, Christoph. Christoph was a gardener and widower. That's my best guess.

If you don't mind, please translate the entire record of Item 14. There are several words I'm unfamiliar with. Thx!

    Here's the translation of the birth record -

    Schneeberg on the 7th of March, Rosina, the surviving widow of the deceased Christoph Hüken, former farmer here, brought into the world at 6 o'clock in the evening a little son who was baptized on the 8th of the same month, names Johann Frantz. Godfather Hannß Walter, cottager. Witnesses - Hannß Christoph Schättner, half farmer, and Roßina, wife of Hannß Fritsch, farmer. all from Schneeberg.

    Note - Gärtner can be translated as gardener, but it can also mean a farmer with a small piece of land. That's why one of the witnesses is listed as a "half farmer" - because he has an even smaller piece of land.
