I have some corrections and additions to make to the last note. Johannes Bühle and his wife Elisabetha Dorothea Boscher had two children baptized at Gemmingen. The first was Hans Michael, on 1 Nov 04. The second was Eva Maria, on 29 Oct 05.
In both cases the sponsors were the same: Fraulein Eva Maria von Gemmingen (for the child Eva Maria, it was given as Frau) and Herr Hans Michael _____ Hans Leonard B______
People denoted by Fraulein, Frau, or Herr are notable people of the community.
On the suggestion of Andreas I reread the occupation of Johannes Bühle at his marriage and it could be read as “ Geselle und Ziegler ”, or journeyman and brickmaker .
I have not seen anything yet to tie the Bühle family to the Schmidt family.
