Notes

  • A mystery is why Sophia's 1839 birth certificate was produced in 1854! Perhaps she needed it to establish age, in order to get permission to migrate then, which was a requirement. However, while her future husband (Christian Busking) did migrate in 1854, Sophia did not! Perhaps permission was not granted in 1854, and she left later in the company of her sister Christina?
  • Another mystery was that Sophia was the THIRD DAUGHTER! Neither families in Germany or America have any tradition that there was a third female child!
  • The family story is that Sophia accompanied her older sister to America to care for her during a pregnancy, but that story is very much in doubt in 2012. Migration information about either sister has been impossible to find. Only the two sisters migrated, as the three brothers remained in Schaumburg-Lippe.

SOPHIA IS ANOTHER LINK IN THESE WERELATE PAGES BETWEEN GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, AND GEN. ROBERT TYNDALL.
