Translation Help Please
I think I have most of this translated correctly. I need help with two words that I think are both names. They are underlined in blue on the enlarged portion of the document. It is an 1869 baptism record from Dankmarshausen. My attempt at transcription and translation is also attached. Thank you so much!

Hello @Cynthia McClanahan Cruz,
The first word is an occupation: Landwirth = farmer.
The second word is a surname: Iffarht.
Your transcription and translation are quite good with a few minor corrections:
In German the birth date is: den zehnten Mai
The original image is hard to discern because of low resolution but I think the name of the baptismal sponsor's father is: Johann Adam Iffarth.
Keep up the excellent transcription and translation work.

Thank you, Robert! Of course, I can see "Landwirth" and "Adam" quite easily now. The surname, Iffarht, was too tricky.
I appreciate your help and encouragement!
Cynthia

You're welcome, Cynthia,
It was tricky for me, too. At first I thought it might be "Issarht" but after careful study of the handwriting I settled on Iffarht.
