Good morning @Kent Gardiner,
The present situation of the third baptismal witness is very interesting.
Translation:
No. 22. On the 15th of July [1813], in the afternoon at 3:00 pm was born in the local parish of Graben, and on the 18th of the same month was baptized Johann Philipp. Father is Johann Martin Köhler, local citizen, the mother is Maria Elisabetha, née Heinlin. Baptismal witnesses are: (1) Martin Krauß, the local citizen and master weaver, (2) his wife Philippine, née Lindin; (3) Jacob Friedrich Heinle, the local citizen, as substitute for the grand-ducal soldier imprisoned in Russia and local citizen Conrad Haßler, (4) the latter's [i.e. Conrad Haßler's] wife Margaretha, née Lindin.
T. L. Sachs, pastor.

Robert, Yes, this is very interesting because I have a woman in my direct line named: Maria Elisabetha Heinle 1787-1827 who is the 1st wife of Johann Martin Köhler. FS says Jacob Friedrich b 1786 - d 1857 and Maria Elisabetha are brother and sister.
(3) Jacob Friedrich Heinle, the local citizen, as substitute for the grand-ducal (Of or pertaining to a grand duke.) soldier imprisoned in Russia and local citizen Conrad Haßler,
Conrad Haßler b 1785 FS id: GHLX-MMK
I have no idea why Jacob "Friedrich Heinle would be a substitute for a soldier imprisoned in Russia. We need help from the Community on this one. Thanks for the translation! Kent

@Kent Gardiner, @Robert Seal_1
It seems that Conrad Haßler took part in the the Napoleonic campaign against Russia 1812. The Grand Duchy of Baden was part of the Rheinbund (Confederation of the Rhine), the German client states of Napoleon of France. As an ally, Baden had to supply troups for the war against Russia, in total just under 8000 man. Only few returned (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badener_im_Russlandfeldzug_1812). Conrad Haßler seems to have been one of the lucky few as he fathered children in 1815 and 1818 according to FS.
In July 1813 he was obviously still a POW in Russia, so Friedrich Henle acted as his stand-in at the baptism of Johann Philipp Köhler.

Robert Seal_1, Ulrich, This is a great little "moment in time" of people working together. Your knowledge is impressive. This brings FH alive. Now I understand. All the best, Kent
