Speed run: Top Ten Fastest Checkmates!

You can find the previous top ten fastest checkmates here:
https://rumble.com/v19unae-top-10-fastest-checkmates-in-history.html

Each entry on this list is the oldest documented example of a game with the given move count that I have managed to find that I did not cover in the
previous top ten fastest checkmates.
If you can find any games older than these, please let me know as I love mating really fast.

There are no known images of most of the players in this list, so I will be using historically accurate and respectful stand-ins for them.
