Clarification need on a birth/baptism Johannes Gossmann
Please clarify the birth and baptism dates. A previous ancestry post on him gave a march date. I am including the previous page for 1773 (that it might help) and the entire image of the 1774 page
I see this : 1774 baptism 27 ???? Johannas , Joh George Gossmann and Catharina Elizabeth Klee(in)s son born 26 (same month) ?? 2:00 ?? Godfather Johannes ????
Died 9 March 1842
Thank you

Hello Trish,
it was a good idea to post the preceding image as it helped to establish the years and months.
According to the running titles at the top of each page:
Page 96 covers the years 1771-1772.
Page 97 covers the year 1773.
Page 98 covers the year 1774.
Page 99 covers the years 1774-1775.
On page 98 where your record of interest is recorded, the first three baptisms for the year 1774 (including yours) all take place in March 1774. You'll see the word "Martius" = March recorded before the first record at the top of the page, then for the next two records you'll see a line before the date indicating that the month of March is being repeated. Then the fourth record on page 98 is marked with the month "Maius" = May.
Here is a translation of your record on page 98:
[Baptized] on 27 March 1774 Johannes, son of Joh. George Gossmann and his wife Catharina Elisabeth Klee_?, born on the 26th of this month [i.e. March] in the afternoon at 2:00 pm, baptismal sponsor was Johannes ________? junior/the younger.
