Robert, we know Georg Jacob Bott well because his is the second marriage for Margaretha Scholl.

Because it is so easy to access records on FS I think: The 3rd sponsor could well be Christoph Roesch b 1746-1814. He married Christina Zimmermann 8 August 1775. Christina lived from 1752 to 1789. So she passed before this document and Christoph was still alive. Christoph died 1 Oct 1814 at 68 years old. His sweet wife Christina only lived to be 36, dying 29 Sep 1789. Christoph died the same day that his wife was buried: Oct 1.

Thank you very much. 😀😁😄KG
