Napoleon Rules Europe
In the wars after the French Revolution in 1789, Napoleon, the emperor of the French, rose to be the ruler of the European continent. An enduring result of his policy was a new order of the southwestern German political world. When the French Revolution threatened to be exported throughout Europe in 1792, Baden joined forces against France. Baden's countryside was devastated in the ensuing battles. In 1796, the margrave was compelled to pay an indemnity and to cede his territories on the left bank of the Rhine to France. Fortune, however, soon returned to his side. (Wikipedia)

Ann Bane death 1758 Graben Film 004137289 page 610
Translation by Robert Seal:
Died on the 27th of May [1758] at night after 10:00 pm and buried on the 29th [of May 1758] Anna, the surviving widow of the late Georg Obermäyer, former "Beÿsi(t)zer" and weaver at Blankenloch. Age: 74 years.
My comment: "Beÿsi(t)zer" = Beisitzer. Ernest Thode, German-English Genealogical Dictionary, defines "Beisitzer" as: "junior lawyer; juryman; inhabitant without land (e.g. a son in the parental household) without citizenship rights or duties". Then I penciled-in in my personal copy of Thode in the margin next to this word: council member. Google Translate and DeepL translate this word as: assessor. So you have a variety of options to chose from. Hopefully if you find other records for Georg Obermaÿer you will be able to narrow this down.

Graben, on the 7th of February 1820. T. G. Beck, pastor.
Pastor:  The Pastor at Salome's death was Gottlob Beck who served in Graben as Pastor between 1814 - 1823. The pastor was called T. G. Beck, Pfarrer (Pastor). He starts the firt paragraph with: Den dreissigsten März ...which is the same as Im dreissigsten März (30iest of March) Gottlob had a distinctive way of writing. He made funny circles that we call Schweineschwänzchen (little pigs tail) with the first word Im at the beginning of the sentence. Sometimes at the end of a word or sentence he adds the pig tails. It does not mean anything at the beginning, simply decoration. The swirls at the end of the page are repeated on each page with amazing consistency. Gottlob had talent. (Peter Bertschinger)
