John Henry Kaulbach Jr., Deputy Sheriff of Lunenburg County, married, on 22 April 1826, Sophia Frederica Newman (1802-1889), the daughter of Adolphus and Regina Elizabeth Newman . The handsome newly-weds had their portraits painted, likely in the early 1830s, and probably by the same unknown artist; the results were displayed in identical frames.
