(1703) Joos den 28 Jan.
Hans Heinrich Wolfensperger von Etenhausen / und Barbel Kuntz syn Hausfrau(?)
Joos Wolfensperger von Errlosen / Barbel Wolfensperger von Dürstelen
syn Hausfrau(?): "syn" for "seine". I am not quite sure about the abbreviation for "Hausfrau" - but nothing else makes sense in the context - so it's "his wife".

Perfect, thank you. Can we assume the Pastor always wrote the maiden name of the sponsors and never used the woman's marriage surname?
I wish the Pastor had entered more details on these people like their professions or what they died from.

"Can we assume the Pastor always wrote the maiden name of the sponsors and never used the woman's marriage surname?"
At this time: yes.
This changed during the 19th century - in some regions second quarter, other regions later.
