Starting in August of 1717, there are Baptismal Records in St. Mary's that are of interest to Germanna historians. I am not claiming that every name here is relevant but it is better to be more inclusive than exclude anyone.
August 4.
Born [to] Hanss Nicolay Weiss, a Pfaltzer, his baby boy, baptized on the 5th and named Juergen [i.e., George] Adam. Sponsors: Juergen Meinach, Jurgen Meÿer, and Hanss Adam Rausch. Mother's name Anna Cathrina.
[This one was of interest for having names that could be George Meyer and John Rausch.]
August 5.
Born [to] Johann Seitz, a Pfaltzer, his baby boy, baptized on the same day and named Johann Christoph. Sponsors: Christopher Zimmerman, Hanss Juergen Scheibeler, and Magdalena Niederman. Mother's name Anna Maria.
[Again, we have two names that are probably Germanna names, namely George Scheible and Christopher Zimmerman.]
August 29.
Born [to] Matthias Schmidt, a Pfaltzer, his baby boy, baptized on the 31st and named Johann. Sponsors: Johann Georg Forckel and Maria Sophia Steiner. Mother's name Regina Cathrina.
[Matthew Smith and his wife were definitely Germanna citizens.]
August 29.
Born [to] Johann Georg Foerckel his baby girl, baptized on the 31st at the same time with the previous child and named Maria Barbara. Sponsors: Matthias Schmidt and Maria Barbara Weiland. Mother's name Susanna.
[We have two definite Germanna citizens, Matthew Smith and Mary Barbara Wayland.]
September 8.
Born [to] Johann Michel Koch, a Pfaltzer, a small daughter, baptized on the 9th and named Maria Dorothea. Sponsors: Henrich Schneider and Maria Eleanor Scheibel. The mother's name Barbara.
[The last one is loaded with Germanna names, no less than five! The birth date is firmly fixed for Dorothea Cook, who by her birth in London became an English citizen.]
