What is the bride’s last name?

ChristinaW8

Here are two marriage records from Wangeritz, Naugard Pommern for a woman named Maria who first marries Hans Laabs in 1718 and later marries Daniel Schwartz in 1729. It is the last entry on the first image, and in the middle of the second image. What is her last name?

Hello @ChristinaW8

Note the word "Tochter" which is the third word in the next-to-the-last line in the second image and compare the "T" in "Tochter" to the "T" in both examples of the bride's surname.

I read the bride's name as "Teschen" and dropping the "en" makes the surname Tesch.

Out of curiosity, what is the occupation written above on the second image the line before Tochter...

des Coßätin, Casten Schwartz’s daughter

Loßätin?

I’m not having any luck looking it up on an occupation translator.

The word is "Coßät", often also written as "Kossät" or Kossathe". This term was used in particular in the north-east of Germany (Prussia) for a cottager, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotter_(farmer)#Germany
