Translation by Robert Seal:
Date: born on the 3rd of April [1696], baptized on the 5th of April [1696] in the afternoon.
Child: Anna Margaretha.
Parents: Hanß Adam Kämm, wife Anna Jacobea.
Baptismal sponsors: Mr. Peter Keller, mayor, and fiancée Anna
Margaretha. Hanß Jost Wentz and fiancée Sabina.
Kent: Why does Peter Keller have a fiancèe when he is married?
Joss Wentz KGCM-HRY married Sabina about 1682 which adds more confusion.
Robert:Yes, this is very confusing. I checked the record again and the word before both female baptismal sponsors' names is: sponsa = engaged woman, fiancée, bride, intended, betrothed.
Even substituting "bride" for "fiancée" doesn't make sense because "bride" infers newly married.
Perhaps the scribe made a mistake in identifying these two women as "sponsa".
Note that this birth took place in the first week of April 1696. You should minimally search marriage records for April through December 1696 and all of 1697 to see if you can find a marriage record for :
(1) Peter Keller and Anna Margaretha; and
(2) Hanß Jost Wentz and Sabina.Kent: The marriage records in Graben for these marriages are incomplete and sparce and cannot be located.
