Ahnentafel #51 - Sophia (--?--)

Sophia (--?--) or Magdalena Sophia (--?--)

Born: 1820 Hannover in the Kingdom of Prussia
Died: Unknown

Buried: Unknown

Married: 1) Andrew Probst in Germany and 2) Casper Korte March 30, 1875 in Vanderburgh Co., IN. 

Immigration:
The family came to America between 1851 and 1860. A lock of hair of "an aunt who died on the boat over" was passed down from Fredericka to Anna (Erkman) Wheeler to my mom.  I suspect it was a Probst or one of Sophia's family members. 

Census:
1860 Indiana, Posey Co. - age 40 living with Andrew and their daughters ages 10 and 14

1870 Indiana, Posey Co., - age 50 living with Andrew

1880 Indiana, Posey Co. - age 60 living with Casper in a home with two other families, not sure what the relationship of the three families is.
