Berend Eilders gives the name Antje to the child that was born & died on 18 Nov 1862. Whilst this may be possible, my research, such as it is, shows that children who die before baptism, especially on the day of birth, are not named.
Might it be possible that Antje had a twin who died on the date of birth? - D.A. Navorska - viii Jan MMXVII - Twp. 25N, Delaware Co., Cherokee Nation
