FS has Anna Wolfensberger born 29 Nov1744 von Wetzikon ZH. Her parents are Joos Wolfensperger von Etenhusen und Cathrin Wild, seine Hausfrau.
Kaspar Jenta, a school master, married Anna Wolfensberger 13 June 1768 in Wetzikon, Zurich, Switzerland. This record was indexed incorrectly. I assumed 1769, based on an incorrect index setting - and on the corresponding page there was no such entry. The marriage had taken place in Zürich St.Peter - and I found the entry there in 1768. It looks like an afterthought because the entry is off to the side. This is most likely due to the fact they were married in Zürich not Wetzikon.
Anna ans Kaspar's children are:
1. Anna Elisabeth Jenta 8 Oct 1769- 1 Oct 1830 (out of wedlock) married 1 Oct 1796 Kaspar 'Bietenholz
2. Rudolf Jenta 1771-1822 married Elizabeth Frey 7 Oct 1792 and died 5 Nov 1822
3. Johannes Jenta 1773-8 Sep 1828 married Anna Hess 1773-1835
4. Jakob Jenta 21 Aug 1774
5. Anna Maria Jenta 1776 dec
6. Hartmann Jenta 1778- 14 May 1819 married Verena Anliker 18 Mar 1799
7. Regula Jenta 1781- 1 May 1811 died in infancy
5. Anna Maria Jenta 1776 dec
6. Hartmann Jenta 1778- 14 May 1819 married Verena Anliker 18 Mar 1799

Anna 22 Nov [1744]

Anna 29 Nov [1744] Parents of Anna Wolfensberger
Parents: Joos Wolfensperger von Etenhusen und Cathrin Wild, seine Hausfrau.
Sponsors: Meister Hanß Jacob Gujer, Müller zu Kempten, und Anna Wolfensperger im Ämetschloo
Note: In that situation more information is needed to be sure about their relations (e.g. their husbands) - the parents may be listed in the marriage records.
Just a word of caution: in your online tree you seem to be relying partly on Billeter's work. He is known to be very accurate on copying data - but often being a bit sloppy about filiations. Conclusion: all his data should be confirmed by checking the original records.
Wolfensberger: In volume 65, there are over 135 references to the name in the Wolfensberger section, for those living in the Bauma area of Zurich canton.

| 13 Jan 1769 Kaspar Jenta marriage, Wetzikon |
Translation by Wolf:
Note: Then you were assuming 1769, based on an incorrect index setting - and on the corresponding page there was no such entry. The marriage had taken place in Zürich St.Peter - and I found the entry there in 1768: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/epaper/PRD/SAR/Pfarrbuecher/VIII-C-24-a_output/web/html5/index.html?pn=295. With the correct date you have now found the (rather short) entry in Wetzikon:
Translation: 1768 den 13. Junj
Kaspar Jenta von Medikon
Anna Wolfensperger von Etenhausen
Note: No mention where it took place - but the fact it was recorded as side note, likely at some later date, indicates it was not in Wetzikon.
