I translated this for you yesterday — here it is again:

10. 1. Johann Martensen age 49, married, potter

2. Christina Eliesb[eth] Nielsen age 33 also married, his wife

3. Catharina Magdalena Martensen age 13, unmarried} their children
4. Maria Dorothea Martensen age 2, also unmarried}

5. Paul Martensen age 53, also unmarried, brother of the family father

My comments: The father's occupation is: Töpfer = potter.

The two daughters Catharina and Maria are bracketed with the phrase: deren Kinder = their children.
