Translation Request: can't read the script well
I am trying to read the information about Adam's birth. I think he was born on 26th January.
His father is Joseph Schilling, but what is his job?
His mother is Theresia Gerlach.
I included the link if that is better to see the rest of it [I'm working off of Matricula right now just because it's easier to navigate on my slow laptop]. I can already read the witnesses (why are there so many? I thought there was just 2, but this is a lot!) and his baptismal date is 27 January.
Thank you!

Hello @Rachel S. Mullins,
Translation of the image you provided:
Number: 1.
Baptismal name of the child: Adam Schilling.
Day and hour of the birth in letters and numbers: the twenty-sixth (26) of January, in the morning at eight (8) o'clock
Whether legitimate or illegitimate: legitimate.
First name and surname of the father, also his status: Joseph Schilling, "Ackersmann" = farmer.
First name and surname of the mother: Theresia Gerlach.
My comment: There is no set number to the number of baptismal witnesses. Two is fairly common but I've also seen one witness and as many as nine witnesses recorded for a baptism.
