Fred,
I think that you're correct that "Scheur" is a Scheune. I checked Harper
Collins unabridged German-English dictionary and "Scheuer" is listed as a
barn. The Oldenburger Plattdeutsches Wörterbuch by Böning also lists
"Schüür" as a Scheune. Neither is exact, but they're close.
Harper Collins also lists "Wirt" as a landlord. Again, not exactly right,
but maybe close.
I have to agree that the archivists in Vechta are top notch.
