Margaretha Magdalena Raicher birth 27 Nov 1739 film 4137289 page 448 Pastor Beck
Translation by Robert Seal:
On the 27th of November [1739] a little daughter of Wilhelm Reichert, local bathhouse operator/barber and juryman, from his wife Margaretha Barbara was born into the world, so on the 3rd day thereafter was baptized and named Maria Magdalena. Baptismal sponsors are: "Ego" [= I/me] Fr[an(t)z] Chr[istop(h)] Heinr[ich] Beck _____ _____ ___, and Miss Jacobina Creglinger, Mr. Caspar Creglinger's maiden daughter; Johann Simon? Cammerer with wife.
In right-hand margin: Died 17 May 1815.
My comment: In this record you can see a variant spelling of "Bader" = Baader [last word of first line].
Special note by Robert Seal:Thank you, Kent, for this list of Graben pastors. Did you notice who the pastor was from 1738 to 1757: Francz Christian Henrich Beck.This explains why he uses the word "Ego" [= I or me] in Maria Magdalena Reichert's November 1739 birth/baptismal record and again in Jacobina Elisabetha Reichert's April 1742 birth/baptismal record. In both records, he was not only the pastor performing the baptisms but he also served as a baptismal sponsor. Note that in the 1739 record his second forename is abbreviated "Chr:" and in the 1742 record it is spelled "Xstop" = Christop. Your list of Graben pastors record this as "Christian".

Margaretha Magdalena marriage 24 May 1757film 102078298 page 569

Translation by Robert Seal:
On the 24th of May 1757, after the early sermon was held, were married Johann Philipp Roesch, surviving unmarried son of the late Johann Roesch, former member of the council, [of the] shoemaker craft/trade, with Margaretha Magdalena, unmarried legitimate daughter of Friedrich Wilhelm Raicher, juryman and bathhouse operator.
My comment: The groom Johann Philipp Roesch is of the shoemaker craft or a shoemaker craftsman, not his father. We see later in Margaretha Magdalena's May 1815 death record that Johann Philipp Roesch had become a master shoemaker.
From FS: Marriage records in Graben Parish Register; 1645-1800; item 2; p 18; marriage record; FHL film 1238310; notes -- says Johann Philipp Roesch, son of Johann Roesch, married Margaretha Magdalena, daughter of Friedr. Wilhelm Raicher.
