40. On the 6th of April Koch in Bexterhagen let baptize a daughter, sponsors were the wife/Mrs. Lambrucht in Bexterhagen, the wife of Kuolmans in Pflen and Henrich Herman Hufeman's wife there; [the child] was named Anna Maria
Comment: Pflen (or similar) should be a location name, but I can't find it in Meyers or otherwise.

Gosh, you are wonderful! I will have to pick up on those corrections and look for them as I continue to research my family in this parish. I'm guessing that "Pflen" may be referring to Salzuflen.
This priest had a way of entering a christening with only the surname of the father quite often. I'm guessing that there was only one "Koch" family in Bexterhagen. What do you think?

You are certainly right: what I read as "Pflen" is probably "Vlen" = Ufflen, an old spelling of Salz Uflen, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Salzuflen#Name.
The surname "Koch" is not so rare, but in a small village all Kochs may belong to the same family.
