Regarding your first image.

after Kaufmann zu Eisfeld ?
beim Landregim(e)

I read his wifes (Ux) name as Hulderika not Huldreich.

There is also a Johann Andreas Otto mentioned.

Ah! Hulderika- a given name. That makes sense. It looks like her father was Joh. Andreas Otto, no? They must have been cousins.
Thanks, Dave!

I originally thought it could be Albert, but it's such an English name, I was unsure.

Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert was German, nicht wahr?

says:

From the Germanic name Adalbert, which was composed of the elements adal "noble" and beraht "bright". This name was common among medieval German royalty. The Normans introduced it to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Æðelberht. Though it became rare in England by the 17th century, it was repopularized in the 19th century by the German-born Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.
This name was borne by two 20th-century kings of Belgium. Other famous bearers include the German physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955), creator of the theory of relativity, and Albert Camus (1913-1960), a French-Algerian writer and philosopher.

So now we know.
