Karima, Coincidentally, this week I was researching the Sophia who is listed in this marriage record that you transcribed: William GIESKING [?] -- Sophia BEHUKIN [?] Sophia was b. abt. 1835 in Germany. She married (1) Christopher WAHLMAN and they had five children, Charles (1858), Sophia (1862) , Wilhelmina ("Minnie") 1865, Frederick ("Fritz") 1868, and Henry WAHLMAN (23 Feb 1870). All five children married, and three resided in Campbell Hill. Sophia then married (2) BEHNKEN and they had sons John and Ferdinand BEHNKEN. (1873 and 1876) Sophia then married (3) William GIESEKING, b. Oct 1834, Germany. I have yet to determine Sophia's maiden name.
