Surnames: Tewes, Bauer
Based on 1880 Census, she was born around 1844 in Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany. She married Heinrich ("Henry") Bauer in St. Clair Co., IL on 17 Nov 1864. This couple had children:

- Henry N. Bauer (b. 22 Sep 1864 in IL)
- Anne ("Anna") M. Bauer (b. 1868 in IL)
- William Bauer (b. 08 Apr 1871 & d. 23 Dec 1942 in St. Louis, MO)
- John Henry Bauer Sr. (b. 08 Nov 1876 & d. 19 Jan 1921 in St. Louis, MO)
- Minnie Bauer (b. Apr 1880 & d. around 1917, both prob. in St. Louis, MO)

Does anyone have further info on Sophia and/or her parents? Reportedly, her father was August Tewes, and mother's name was Louisa.

This immigrant ship in 1854 shows a 10-year-old Sophia Tewes arriving, but no parents by those names, and home of origin also doesn't match (Mecklenburg), likewise Iowa destination (vs. St. Clair, IL, where she evidently settled). Note record-keeper aboard immigrant ships weren't exactly meticulous recording occupations and locations.

Any help appreciated!
