Johann Friedrich Roller (Pastor J. J. Ritter's father-in-law)

 Johann Jacob Ritter married Susanna Magdalena Catharina Roller 25 Feb 1755 in Berghausen, Durlach.  Susanna Magdalena Catharina Roller's marriage record says she is the daughter of Mr. Johann Friedrich Roller, pastor at Stein. Susanna's mother is Eva Christina Lindemännin who married 26 May 1722 in Rußheim, Karlsruhe, Baden. Christina Lindemannin's father is Johann Philipp Lindemänn according to her marriage record. I believe the family is from Spöck. 

The word Rußheim is translated as Russheim.

1737 While in Liedolsheim Roller, brought the old complaint that the congregation did not want to give the teacher the newly built schoolhouse. https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Ortsgeschichtliche_Mitteilungen_aus_der_Umgebung_von_Karlsruhe_aus_der_ersten_H%C3%A4lfte_des_18._Jahrhunderts

Let's keep our pastors in order:
1722 Johann Friedrich Roller was a temporary pastor in Liedolsheim. This town is a mile west of Graben. It sits between Graben and the Rhine River. Ulrich to Kent: I understand this church book is from Russheim, where Johan Friedrich Roller started his service as a (temporary) pastor in January 1722. Nearly five months later he marries in his own church, but because he cannot officiate the marriage himself, pastor Obermüller from nearby Liedolsheim leads the service.
1722 Johann Friedrich Roller's wife to be, Eva Christina Lindemann is the daughter of Mr. Johann Philipp Lindemann, faithful pastor in Spöck
1725 When Johann Friederich's daughter Christina Johanna Roller is born 27 Dec 1725, her baptismal record says her father Johann Friedrich Roller is the pastor in Rußheim, where she is born.
1735 Johann Friedrich Roller's son Gottlieb Friedrich Roller is later a pastor. He is born in 1735 in Knielingen where his father, Johann Friedrich Roller is the pastor
1753 - 1756 J. J. Ritter served as pastor in Teutschneureut (Teutsch-Neureuth). While there marries Johann Friedrich Roller's daughter: Susanna Magdalena Catharina Roller.
1755 Susanna Magdalena Catharina Roller's marriage record says she is the daughter of Mr. Johann Friedrich Roller, pastor at Stein.
1761 Gottlieb Friedrich Roller serves as Pfarrer from 1761 - 1767 in Teutschneureut, where his brother in law J. J. Ritter was pastor.
Teutschneureut is an area in west Karlsruhe. It is not found in Meyers.
1875January 1, the municipalities of Liedolsheim and Rußheim were merged in the course of municipal reform to become the community of Liedolsheim-Rußheim. For simplicity the new municipality was renamed Dettenheim on 1 January 1978 because the lengthy name Liedolsheim-Rußheim had been found to be disadvantageous and the historical name Dettenheim was preferred versus possible artificial names. So in summary Susanna Magdalena Catharina's father, brother and husband are pastors and her maternal grandfather was a pastor in Spöck.

Documents related to Johann Friedrich Roller:


 On January 1, 1975, the municipalities of Liedolsheim and Rußheim were merged in the course of municipal reform to become the community of Liedolsheim-Rußheim.

And Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.

Comment by Ulrich: It seems that the year of birth is 1725, but there are some peculiarities: the birth date given is 25. December, but the immediately preceding entries are for January to April only. There is a remark under the name which I cannot interpret fully; It seems to say something about the following pages/entries. Maybe a good idea to check how the list continues on the next page.
Thank you, Kent. It is indeed so that all entries for 1725 are in chronological order - except for the one of Christiana Johanna, which should have been the last. The reason is not clear to me.
By the way, the actual last entry for 1725 is for a "Findelkind", a foundling, found on 2 December "in Johann Friedrich Schmidt's Scheune (barn)".

Unfortunately I can't fully read the remark under the name. The underlined word seems to be Eingeschikt = sent in. Maybe another community member can help.
Translation of the entry:
Born on the 13 October [1732] between 12 and 1 p.m. and baptized 15 [October]
Susanna Magdalena Catharina
Parents: Johann Friederich Roller, pastor; Eva Christina
Baptismal sponsors: Mr. Johann Philipp Lindemann, pastor in Spöck, with wife Sara Susanna (marriage 11 Aug 1722 in Spöck, b 23 April 1697, same parents as below, Sara's last name is Machunettus) Mr. Johann Philipp Lindemann, pastor in Bettberg, with wife Carolina Magdalena (marriage 21 Mar 1730 in Karlsruhe, birth 27 Mar 1703, parents: Father with same name , mother Annä Evä in Spöck. 9VL9-FVX Carolina Magdalena Machunettus, Annä )
Johann Georg Krüger, innkeeper at the sign of the crown and baker in Spöck, and his wife Catharina Barbara
My Comments: It is striking that two of the sponsors have the same name and the same occupation (pastor). I suspect that these are father and son. You state that the mother Eva Christina, Johann Friederich Roller's wife, also is born Lindemann. So probably we have here another case where husband, father and brother are pastors.
Note that for the pastors the title is H[err] and their spouses are called in Latin uxor, whereas for the third sponsor there is no Herr and his spouse is the usual Ehefrau = wife.
The occupation of Johann Georg Krüger is in German Weißbeker, literally white baker, meaning that he produced bread and cake from white flour (wheat).
Bettberg is about 100 km further south.
one addition:
I think some of the letters after Eingeschikt could be a date:
ʘ.II.p. Epi_? = sunday II. post Epi__? = 2nd sunday after Epiphany?
A circle with a dot in the middle is a symbol for sunday, see https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Week_Day_Symbols

Comments:Councilor Bürcklin also introduced J. J. Ritter to the Graben congregation on March 6, 1758. There is an interesting website listing all pastors of Teutschneureut here. Note that also the son of Johann Friedrich Roller, Gottlieb Friedrich Roller, is listed as pastor in this parish 1761-1765.
Thank you Ulrich! We now have some amazing, new information from this document:
1. J. J. Ritter's father, Mr. Johann Jacob Ritter was a citizen and baker in Durlach. This does not fit with the birth record above. There is a Johann Jacob Ritter who married Maria Elisabetha in Durlach in 1694.
2. Susanna Magdalena's father was a pastor in Stein. Susanna's father was a pastor, she married a pastor and her brother was a pastor. Her marriage was in Durlach.
3. Gottlieb Friedrich Roller (Susanna's brother) (1761 - 1767) * 1735 in Knielingen † 1794 in Sulzburg (Sohn des Knielinger Pfarrer Johann Friedrich Roller, Studium (studied) in Tübingen, Magister 1756, danach Pfarrer in Königsbach, 1761 - 1767 in Teutschneureut, 1767 in Obereggenen, 1782 bis zu seinem Tod (died) 1794 in Sulzburg)
