This record is a bit difficult to interpret. There are quite a number of names, but it is not fully clear to me how they are related.

Transcription:

IX
[Died] 3 März [1787]
[Buried] 11 März
Paulina Pauls gebohrne Christian Grewe? und Nord___? und Paul Martensen in Sterdeb: Ehefrau hinterläßt 3 Kinder mit Nahmen Emmer? Ingeborg Cath: Dorthe und Marlen. Sie ist alt worden 42 Jahr.

Translation:

No. 9
[Died] March 3, 1787
[Buried] March 11
Paulina Pauls born Christian Grewe? and Nord___? and Paul Martensen in Sterdeb[üll?] wife leaves behind 3 children with names Emmer? Ingeborg Cath[arina] Dorthe and Marlen. She was 42 years old.

Comment:

It is not clear to me if both Christian Grewe and Paul Martensen were husbands of Paulina. The word "geborne" (née, born) would indicate that her maiden name follows, but this does not seem to be the case. There are also more than 3 names for the children.

I looked at other records attached to Pauline G73D-SJR for clues. Since her father is recorded in her marriage record to Paul Martensen as Christian Petersen of Nordmarsch then it seems likely that the word "Nord___" is Nordmarsch.

I cannot figure out "Grewe" but since the scribe used the word "and" between "Grewe" and "Nordmarsch" then it might be a location rather than a surname? But I cannot find a location with a name similar to "Grewe" .

Thanks to @JohnsonGreg for the hint to the ID of Pauline. It helps to clarify some points.

First, the names of the children (still living in 1787) are indeed Emmer, Ingeborg Catharine Dor[o]the[a], and Marten (not Marlen).

In the linked birth record for Marten his parents are "the tailor Paul Martensen in Sterdebüll and Paulina born/nèe Christian Grewe auf Nordmarschen". From this I conclude that Christian Grewe is the father of Paulina. It is new to me that the full father's name is given as the maiden name, but it is similar on other records on this page.

In the marriage record Christian has the patronym Petersen (only); "Grewe" may possibly be an additional surname.

Coming back to the death record of Paulina I suspect that the first "und" is an error of the scribe but should be "aus" or "auf"; so "Paulina Pauls born/daughter of Christian Grewe from Nordmarsch and wife of Paul Martensen in Sterdebüll".

This is so very helpful! I'm at such a disadvantage in that I can't read these old records. Thank you so much.
