Hello Kent,
I found the following list of Graben pastors on the internet. It is from an article in the historic journal "Alemannia" of 1908:
The original source is obviously the same as shown above.
Translation (starting on the page before):
The church at Graben was rebuilt in 1706, after it had been burned by the French (1689); in 1742 there are some gravestones in it, which were set for the Lutheran officers who died in the neighboring Philippsburg. There are three bells, one of 11 hundredweight, one of 5 hundredweight and one of 80 pounds. On the middle one are the names of the bailiff Kemling and the pastor Obermüller and other persons. The smallest is rung only in times of war, when the others have fled.
[176] Among the vasa sacra (sacred vessels in the church) are mentioned: a silver-gilt paten with the year 1710 and the names of the priest, the mayor and the almoners. A pewter jug of 1 measure with the number 1712 and the name Georg Michel Raichert.
The parsonage was built by the manor in 1719; it stands next to the church and has two parlors with chambers on the first floor.
As parish priests are mentioned under the heading Series Pastorum:
1645 Jo. Jac. Zughius Würtenb.
1650 M. Jonas Anwander
1652 M. Augustinus Langner. Bamberg
1654 Ernst Lud. Bach. Durl.
1656 Martin Luzius. Augusta Vindel.
1663 Sebast. Aepinus
1671 M. So. Ge. Parzhof of Aurach Württ.
1674 Jo. Oswald Crusius Ravensburg.
1682 Jo. Conrad Stadmann Durl.
After this because of gloomy times the service has been provided by the pastors of Spöck vicariando, named Zand and Lindemann, after which own pastors were set again, as
M. Jo. Phil. Bander
Christoph Blum.
Jo. Albrecht Obermüller.
1706 Ernst. Frid. Wider. franc. (a Franconian)
1714 Daniel Niclas. Noerdl.
1719 M. Andreas Weber. Alsatus (an Alsatian)
1736 Franc. Christ. Henr. Beck,
the present pastor, was born in Durlach in 1712, where his father was preceptor at the Gymnasium and cantor. "He laid his foundations in Karlsruhe, where he also listened to public lectures until the year 1732, when he went to Halle in Saxony and on to Jena. When he came home again, he was immediately appointed as pastor to Graben."
Graben counted 78 households in 1742, Protestant, except for about 42 souls Roman Catholic. Number of school children: 80.

This is amazing! How wonderful that you found all this information on the pastors of Graben!!!! The first thing to catch my eye was this because we have talked about the ringing of the bells:
The church in Graben was rebuilt in 1706 after it had been cremated by the French (1689); There are some gravestones in it in 1742, which were placed for the Evangelical Lutheran officers who died in the neighboring Philippsburg. There are three bells, one of 11 quintals, one of 5 quintals, and one of 80 pounds. In the middle are the names of the bailiff Kemling and the pastor Obermüller and other people. The smallest is only rung in times of war, when the others have fled.
11 quintals = 18993 ounces or 1187 pounds. Thanks for find this precious information! Kent

No. 1 is not a pastor, but the title (in somewhat incorrect Latin):
Pastores heic loci fuera von 1645 = Pastors in this place have been since 1645
The line after No. 10 states that the parish has been served by the pastor from Spöck (as a substitute). In the next line a "Herr Zander" is named, not sure if this is this pastor.
