  General Notes:

She is baptized following her birth on the same day as her brother Johann and his birth is clearly indicated as May 24, 1800. However, the year of her birth is difficult to read in the baptism record. The day is clearly 8 Oct. The year is indicated with a single digit which is likley an 8, but could also be the letter b indicating her birth date, in which case no year was recorded.
