For the 1792 birth record of Johann Wilhelm Schmidt:
Based on the fact that the child died on 25 March 1792, and was 5 weeks and 5 days old = 40 days old, and keeping in mind that 1792 was a leap year and February had 29 days, I calculate the child's birth date as: 14 February 1792.

Your translation is perfect; I simply added the possessive 's to the father's name:
Greifenstein Died March 25 1792 Jacob Wilhelm Schmidt's little son Johann Wilhelm and was buried on the 27th of the same month at the age of 5 weeks and 5 days.

Tried to enlarge and lighten up the 1792 birth-its a total black circle. The previous record on the film show Feb 6 for that child. Here is the death record for the infant. Does that calculate the birth back to February 13?? (5 weeks, 5 days)

Wow the things you know amaze me. I'll go with that Feb 14. One of my stares at it had me seeing a 4 but talked myself out of it. Thank you much .
Did the record indicate the cause of death?

No there is no cause of death recorded in the child's record. Do you need the death record translated? If so, let me know and I will be happy to translate it for you, Trish.

I would like it to add to details on child if you do not mind. Wanted to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting the writing after the burial date.
I think it reads: Greifenstein Died March 25 1792 Jacob Wilhelm Schmidt little son Johann Wilhelm and was buried on the 27th of the same month at the age of 5 weeks and 5 days. (Or something like that)
