Let me give it a try:

Catharina, Hans Jessen, senioris in Bredlum(?) Fr(au), alt 67 J(ahr) 3 M(onate) 7 T(age), hinterläßt an Kindern und Kindeskinder:

1. .... verheyrathet an Marten Paulsen, jun. in Bredlum(?). Denen sind folgende K(indes)K(inder): a) Martin, b) Margaretha, c) Christian, d) Hans, e) Catharina.

2. Jacob, verheyrathet mit Abel Margaretha, ... Christian Momsens aus der Enge - hiervon sind keine.

3. Hans, verheyrathet mit Christina, ... Christian Momsens (aus der) Enge, davon: f) Christian, g) Hans.

I am at a loss with the daughter's given name - which region is the document from? A person familiar with names there might be able to help.

I also am not sure about the location I read as Bredlum: cannot find such a place … could it be Breklum?

So we have Catharina, Hans Jessens sen. wife, died aged 67y 3m 7d. She leaves behind the following children and grandchildren:

1) ???, married to Marten Paulsen jun., and their children: …

2) Jacob, married to Margaretha Abel, daughter of Christian, (Momsens in der Enge might be the farm the family lived on); no children.

3) Hans, married to Christina, also daughter of Christian "Momsens in der Enge", and their children: …

Sooooo helpful! Thank you.

The burial record was from Breklum. The daughter's name is Sieke.

Is "Momsen" Christian's last name? or do you think it is more associated with a place? Trying to figure out the surname of daughter's in law Abel and Christina. Marten Paulsen jun is son of Paul Martensen. So would Abel and Christina be Christiansen? Momsen?

"Is "Momsen" Christian's last name?"

I am not sure: "Abel" through me off - not a girl's name - so I assumed it might be her surname (maiden name). So what is Momsen? If we assume Abel to be the daughter's first name, Momsen would be her father's surname. On the other hand, in Northern Germany you often have "house names", sometimes more important than the actual surname. I am open and feel other documents are needed to be absolutely sure.

By 1800 they shouldn't be using patronymics anymore, but in some areas maybe the custom hung on. From this and other records you've posted, though, I would say that Momsen is Christian's surname.
