The Film # 105444994 Image 263 for document, but 262 for Image Index.

Thank you,

Dwight Scott

Hello @Dwight Scott,

The next-to-last word in the second line is: Töchterl. = Töchterlein = little daughter. Thus, the deceased child is female.

Her name is probably some form of Charlotta/Charlotte.

She died on 3 Feb 1792 and was buried on 8 Feb 1792. Her age at death was 1 year and 11 months.

She died from "friesel" which is variously defined as: "the purples"; scarlet fever; petechial fever.

Thank you so much. That was my guess. Thank you for the conformation.

Does the record mention parents names? I calculated her birth as about March 1790.
