Answer 1

Well that's a doozie.  I've not seen a baptism record quite like that one.  

First off, it's for Catherina, 7th child and 4th daughter of Heinrich Grebe in Quotshausen.

The mother's name is Elisabetha Seitz or Reitz.

There are a number of "godparents" and the pastor's name is Carl  Christian Lyniker.

The date is spelled out in letters/words not numbers.  I *think* it's 1873 and in the month of March. But I can't make out which day in March. It looks like she was born in the morning at five and one hour. But that doesn't make sense.

I hope someone else can further clarify my initial deciphering.

Thanks so much for your help. I guess this wouldn't be my ancestress then since the 1910 census lists her birth month as June.

Further clarifying the first part, from what I could read:

Im Jahre Christi achtzehnhundertsieben und dreißig den zehnten März Morgens früh um Ein Uhr wurde nach geschehener glaubhafter Anzeige dem Ortsbürger und Ackermann Heinrich Grebe in dem zu dieser Pfarreij gehörigen Filiale Quotshausen von seiner Ehefrau Anna Elisabetha, geborene Reitz, das siebente Kind eine Tochter, den vierten Tochter geboren, welche den zwölften Tag selben Monats getauft und Catharina genannt wurde.

In the year of Christ 1837 the 10th of March early in the Morning at 1:00 AM according to credible Report, Citizen and Ploughman Heinrich Grebe, in the Quotshausen Branch of this Parish, from his Wife Anna Elisabetha (née Reitz), was born the seventh Child, the fourth Daughter, who was on the 12th Day of the same Month baptised and named Catharina.
