Assenheim, Hessen - death in 1844 - Kopp family - transcription help
This is the death record of Anna Elisabeth Kopp. She was the sister of Anna Margaretha Kopp and they were the daughters' of Jacob Kopp in Assenheim.
I'm specifically interested in Anna Elisabeth's age and death date and my transcription/translation of the margin note plus the first several lines of the record are below.
I'm sure the age of 68 years, 5 months and 29 days is correct, but I need to know if "9 Sept 1844" is the correct death date (to use for calculating her birth date).
I assume the remaining information in the record is mostly about the burial, so I don't need this part transcribed/translated, but if you want to read through it and find something interesting, I would appreciate the additional info.
Thank you!

In the year of Christ 1844 on the ninth of September in the morning at nine o'clock, died here (Assenheim) Anna Elisabethe née Kopp widow of the deceased day laborer Heinrich Gondolph (I assume Gondolph is a spelling variation of Gondolf?). Her age was 68 years, 5 months and 29 days.

Your interpretation is fully correct. From the death date and the age I calculate the birthdate as 11 March 1776.
Here is the transcription of the whole record:
Im Jahre Christi achtzehnhundert vier und vierzig den neunten September Morgens um neun Uhr starb dahier Anna Elisabeth geborene Kopp, Wittwe des dahier verstorbenen Bürgers und Taglöhners Heinrich Gondolph in einem Alter von acht und sechzig Jahren, fünf Monaten und neun und zwanzig Tagen und wurde den elften desselben Monats Nachmittags um ein Uhr christlichem Gebrauch nach öffentlich zur Erde bestattet in Gegenwart des hiesigen Kirchenvorstandsmitgliedes und Schuhmachers Gottfried Stilge und des hiesigen Bürgers und Schneiders Georg Köhl, welche das Protocoll nebst mir, dem Pfarrer, unterschrieben haben.

Ulrich,
I compared the birthdate that you calculated for Anna Elisabeth Kopp to a baptism record I found for her. The date matches the baptism date (instead of the birthdate), which still confirms the two records are for the same person.
Thank you so much for finishing the transcription. I appreciate having all of the information in the record!
