Sophia Maring

Sophia Maring may have been the Sophia Mahring recorded in the 1860 census of Cumberland Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. The census listed her as 31 years old and born in Pennsylvania, in dwelling 481, family 537, the household of John Mahring. A county-history reference may identify members of this Maring/Mehring household, but no independent record in the records confirms Sophia’s later identity, spouse, cemetery, or later residence.
