Here are my additions:

27. born 5 Sep 1818, baptized 13 Sep 1818 Jacobsen, Andreas legitimate son of the local cooper and gravedigger Andreas Jacobsen and Friederica Sophia (born) Brand.

witnesses 1. Mr. (Herr) Hans Albertsen from Borsbüll

2 Andreas Jacobsen father of the child

3 Maiden (Jungfer) Christina Margaretha Carstens from here

what does the + 3 Aug 1818 (beneath the birthdate) mean? It should be the death date (+ means death), but since 3 Aug 1818 is before the birth date there must be a mistake.
