Definition of Schonnen Wirth/Schonnenwirth
Please refer to the "Testes" column in the 4th and the 6th entries on this page.
In the 4th entry the last witness, Anna Maria Waibbin/Waiblin is identified as a "Schonnen Wirthin"
In the 6th entry, the last two witnesses are Johann Georg Waibel, butcher and "Schonnenwirth" with his wife Anna Maria, who is the same witness as Anna Maria in the 4th entry.
What is the definition of the occupation "Schonnen Wirth/Schonnenwirth"?
Thank you.

Hello @Robert Seal_1 ,
The entry in the last row I could also read as "Schwanenwirth", which is a not too uncommon designation in church books (innkeeper for the "Gasthaus Zum Schwanen").
The occupation for Anna Maria in row 4 is difficult to read, but as her surname seems to be Waiblin which is the female form of Waibel, Anna Maria may be the wife of Johann Georg Waibel in row 6, and together they are possibly the innkeepers of "Zum Schwanen".

Thank you, @Ulrich Neitzel.
This makes perfect sense and now that you pointed out that the word is "Schwanenwirth" I can see that in both records.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Robert
