Wolf:
Thomas was not born in Ottenbach - but Wolsen (see his marriage and burial notes).
Wolsen is part of Obfelden - and until 1848 Obfelden belonged to the Ottenbach parish - so Thomas was just baptised in Ottenbach.

I am sorry to say that I cannot determine the place of origin of Hans Gut. There are several people from the same place on both pages, but I can't locate a village of that name. The rest reads as follows:

I would interpret the location as Tunßen (today Toussen) - and the last word as Thocht(er) … would fit the groom from Wolsen.

Wolsen is part of Obfelden: Grob have been citizens of Obfelden as well (was a widespread name).
Thomas could still have been born in Ottenbach.
Part of the municipality of Obfelden, founded in 1847, on the edge of the Reuss valley. Roman settlement remains in Unterlunnern bear witness to a prehistoric settlement in the area. Settlement of the area. The settlement developed into a hamlet in the late Middle Ages, which belonged to the parish of Ottenbach before the municipality was divided. [2] (Wikipedia)
Politically, Obfelden is the youngest municipality in Affoltern, though settlements in the area date back to the Alemannic-Franconian period in the 5th century AD. Early activity coalesced around five hamlets: Bickwil (first mentioned in 1246 as Bickewilare), Oberlunnern and Unterlunnern (1257 Lundenerun and Lunderun inferioris), Wolsen (1311 Wolunsun), and Toussen (1325 Thunsen).[3]These five hamlets were known collectively as being ob dem Feld ("over the field") from neighbouring Ottenbach; most fell under the jurisdiction of Maschwanden, although Toussen and part of Unterlunnern came under the Zürich Freiamt. Both of these areas were merged into Knonau (today's Affoltern district) in the sixteenth century, when the hamlets of Obfelden became a part of the nearby parish of Ottenbach.[3] (Wikipedia)

Notes: So it actually states that he died that day - not that was buried.
