Lesehilfe erbeten - beruf ?

I would like to know the profession of the father and what I missed with the witnesses. I asked before and it was thought Friedrich's profession could be a baker (with 9 of his children's baptisms he was a "musketeer" but with the 10th he was already 57 and perhaps retired)? I like to be sure as this is a direct ancestor. Thank you for any help.

Thank you, the taufpate makes sense. I think indeed the word Beisats could very well be right.

Beisasse. I looked it up and it can be a citizen without rights (he was born in Diez - his father was the obermueller to Diez and Oranienstein- and served 30 something years in the 4th battalion there) or a small (tenant) farmer which could be. He was 57 and a retired soldier (I assume).

Wikipedia says: Ein Beisasse (auch Beiwohner, Beisitzer, Inwohner, Schutzverwandter, Schutzbürger, Hintersasse) ist Bürger einer Stadt mit eingeschränktem Bürgerrecht. Der Unterschied zwischen Bürgern und Beisassen entwickelte sich im mittelalterlichen Stadtrecht und bestand bis ins 19. Jahrhundert.

I think you nailed it. Thank you again!
