Clarification on Latin terms on 1860 baptismal record and for surname for patron

The final entry on this page in a Taufbuch from Urfeld near Bonn in 1860 has the terms "14 natus et 18 [mc=] natus est". It looks like the baptism took place on November 18th.

I'm guessing that Johann Jacob Becker was born on 14 November 1860 and baptised on the 18th, but the mc= has me a bit confused.

Also, I am unsure of Marg[aretha] Harf's surname?

Thanks for helping clarify this for me!

    Hello @BetteB,

    What you are reading as "mc=" is actually "re=" indicating that the word is split over two lines: re=natus.

    Thus what is written is: 14 natus et 18 renatus = born on the 14th and baptized on the 18th.

    I agree with you that the name is: Marg[aretha] Harf.
