"Caroline Woerdehoff or Nordhoff

Reason This Information Is Correct:
I came across this record...
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=80906803&ref=acom
I can only find two sources with the name Woerdehoff: The Pedigree Resource file and find a grave. All the other sources: marriage records, birth records for children, and marriage records for children indicate the last name is Nordhoff. Her father is listed as John Nordhoff. I think where the mix up comes is that Caroline's daughter, Mary Elizabeth, married Francis John Kramer who had a brother, John Frederick Kramer, who was married to Mary Maragaretha Woerdehoff.
