The two notes after the list of the nine children refer to the illegitimate children of daughters 8 and 9 above:
First note (daughter 8): NB. Eva Katharina had illegitimately: Wilhelmine, born 13 Jan 1852, died 26 Jan 1852.
Second note (daughter 9): Friederike had illegitimately: Friederike, born 6 Aug 1860, 5:00 pm. Recognized/acknowledged v. Martin, volume II, page 340. [You'll want to find this entry on page 340 in volume 2 to see if this child's paternity is acknowledged by the father.]
Note: I am unable to decipher the word in the baptismal column for child no. 5.

Question: What happened in 1880 at the bottom of the page? emigrated? Is this why Philipp and Friederike's death dates are not entered?
Answer:
Yes, the family emigrated ("Ausgewandert") in 1880, which explains why
there are no death dates for the parents. Given that "America" is
written for at least child 3 (and one might argue that "America" is
written in such a way that it applies to the entire family on this
page), they probably emigrated to America in 1880.
