Assenheim, Hessen - baptism in 1803 - Kopp family - transcription help
The baptism record is for Anna Margaretha born illegitimate in 1803 in Assenheim to Anna Elisabeth Kopp who I assume had named Johann Heinrich Gondolf as the father but I can't read all of the words. Johann Heinrich's birth place and occupation were easy to read, since the same information about him was written in the marriage record in 1804 for him and Anna Elisabeth Kopp (posted previously).
I think my transcription is mostly correct and would appreciate help to fill in the blanks. My translation is also not complete.
I'm especially interested in the witness Anna Margaretha, who (if I'm reading the record correctly) was the daughter of Jakob Kopp. Jakob was the father of the unmarried mother Anna Elisabeth. So the mother and the witness were sisters?
Thank you!

With the fully translated information in the record, I have another tie-in which confirms again that the mother Anna Elisabeth and the witness Ann Margaretha, were both the daughters of the local citizen Jakob Kopp. What's even better, is the record states the witness Anna Margaretha was Jacob's second daughter, and this information about birth order does help me to determine his two girls' correct baptism record and year of birth.
Thank you, for the helpful edits @Ulrich Neitzel and again I really appreciate it!
