Lisabeth Landis Meister Conrad Jenta von Medikon ehelich hinderlassene Witfrau.

So Lisabeth was Conrad's widow.

https://community.familysearch.org/en/profile/WSeelentag Is there a significance to the word legitimate? Does that mean they were married and not just living together. Conrad died in 1761 so Lisabeth had 6 years or so by herself or living with a child.

"ehelich" means the child was born to a married couple (Ehe = marriage). No special significance here - "ehelich" in many regions is always added to make sure the child is not "unehelich".
