Thank you, @Robert Seal_1. May I have a translation of that entry? Or do I need to start a new question to the community?

Hello @Nancy Carroll Evans Crawford,

You're welcome.

Please note image 88 where your record appears is the right-hand side of a two-page record which begins on image 87.

Here is a complete translation of the two-page record:

Name of the place of the wedding: Metschullen.

Number of the married couple: 32.

Number of the couple where the groom is a bachelor and the bride is a maiden: 14.

Record: On the 29th of October [1808] the bachelor Joh. Gottlieb Danjel, "Wirth" in Metschullen, eldest son of the late farmer Christian Danjel from there with Dorothea, third daughter of the mayor Christoph Richter from there.

My comment: "Wirth" can translate as innkeeper or farmer.
