German maiden names and an occupation

[Eidde]

Hi
I've been trying to make out the maiden names of Maria Dorothea (outlined in red on the images) and Helena (outlined in blue).
Also the occupation of Gottfried Caspar Holzwarth (outlined in green - I think there's a second example in the following entry).
Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks
Eddie

occupation: B. u. Bauer, so Burger und Bauer, citizen & farmer
Maria Dorothea Freyin, but -in is just an ending that was added to the name, so Frey
Helena Schuhin, so Schuh

[Eidde]

Ah, thank you, Zefiro. They all make sense. So, is it the feminine -in ending, like arzt & ärztin (and equivalent to the Russian Romanov/Romanova)? I didn't know they did that with German names.

It's not that common, but it's something that can be found when doing research. Without knowing this possibility, one could think the surname was really like that, and subsequently get veryyyyy frustrated by the lack of more family members
