Assistance with Transliteration
I am seeking assistance with a baptism record in Eschenau (Württemberg) in 1761. The record is for Johanna Christina Schwenzer (first record on the left-hand side of the attached image).
I have 3 specific questions:
(1) What is the birth name of her mother? Names have been indexed as Lauckuff and Lauckust.
(2) Is the name of the first witness--Reuer?
(3) What is the profession of the second witness's father--Casper Schwenzer? I can determine Gerichtsverwandter u. ______wirths, but I can't determine the first portion of that word.

Hello Kent,
I had a look at several other documents concerning that family (since your screenshot was too pixelated for me), and comparing Maria Elisabeth´s maiden name in them, I think, it reads Laukuff. The entry that is best legible is their marriage entry of 3rd December 1745.
2 - as to wittnesses, I read: Frau Maria Juliana, Herrn Johann Wolfgang Krauer(s), herzogl(ich) württemb(ergischen) Jägers zu Stetten ..... Ehefrau.
JohannChristoph Friedrich Schwenzer, des Caspar Schwenzer, Gerichtsverwandten und Cronenwirths (landlord of the Crown Inn) allhier ehel(icher), lediger Sohn.That Johann Caspar is the Kronenwirt is also backed up by the marriage entry of Johann Jacob and Maria Elisabetha.

Rachel,
Thanks for your response and especially for taking the extra time to locate the marriage record for comparison!😉
