Hi Kent,
You did very well with your transcription of the names. I've copied your work and made some minor edits in bold:
Parents
Jakob Suss (farmer?) [correct: Bauer = farmer] [While Suss is correct you are missing the umlaut on the "u": Süss.]
Katharina Scholl
Children
- Philippine
- Ludwig
- Philipp Jakob
- Leopold
- August
- Catharina
Comment: Here a link from FamilySearch which will show you how to make the accented German letters as well as the ß [= ss] on a PC keyboard using the Alt key: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/German_Genealogical_Word_List#Diacritic_Marks
Transcribing the correct accented German letters is important because the accents affect pronunciation, meaning, and alphabetization.
