It seems probable that Elizabeth Geier was married first in Bavaria to a man named Hering. They had a daughter named Mary Herring who was born in Bavaria in 1828. Elizabeth married this Mr. Hering at age 14 or fifteen. Soon Mr. Hering was out of the picture and Elizabeth then married Christian Bergman and immigrated with him and her daughter to America. On October 26, 1836 in Pittsburg she gave birth to Margaret Bergman.
Her two daughters in 1844 were Margaret Bergman (Bannse) age 8 and Mary Herring (Ehlen) age 17.
The Bergman family gets mentioned indirectly again for the first time when on June 14, 1849 a Mary Herring marries William Ehlen in a double ceremony at Bethel.

We know that this Mary is a daughter of Elizabeth Bergman because it is further stated in the Aurora Settlement records under references to the Ehlen family that William Ehlen married a daughter of Mrs. Bergman.
