Sisters Anna Sophia and Anna Maria have DOB only 2 months apart. Anna Maria has a baptism record, but I have not been able to find one for Anna Sophia. There is no indication that they were twins. On the DN for Anna Sophia, het DOD is very specific and calculates to 12 Jul 1814.

It is possible that Anna Maria changed her name to Anna Sophia, but I have found no evidence of that.
