Requesting Buseck death translations

TrishAndersen

I am in need of clarification and correction of these two records. The first one is 1668.

In Croffelbach died on 18 October Martin Buseck ?????? and buried on the 20th?

This second record is easier to read I think though a couple of words I think refer to his occupation. The year is 1782: Johann Friedrich Buseck ?????? died on 4th June, buried 6th June ????? age 70 years 9 months and 17 days. (the Baptism date is 18 October, 1711). Is his birth date calculate to October 16, 1711???

Thank you again.

Hello Trish,

I do not read the surname "Buseck" in the first record. It looks like "Brosecker" or "Brosecher".

Translation of the second record:

Johann Friedrich Buseck, former "Bleichmann" from the Obermühl died on the 4th of June [1782], and on the 6th of the same month was buried according to Christian custom, age 70 years, 9 months, and 17 days.

Comment: Based on his age at death, I calculate his birth date as: 18 August 1711.

Obermuhl is perhaps a mill where he worked?

Obermühl = upper mill. Could be where he works or could be a place where he lives.

There are five places in Meyers Gazetteer called Obermühle (note the "e" on the end) which are located in Wetzlar, Coblenz, Rheinland, which is where Kröffelbach is located.

Thanks-Obermühle records not showing up on Archion or FS at the present time.
