Hello Allison,
Benjamin is and was not common in Oldenburg. But I found Elias Suding born 1814 in Aberdeenshire in "United Kingdom, Merchant Navy Seamen Records, 1835-1941" for his Military Service between 1845 and 1854. If you find his birth record you maybe can find the name of the emigrant or another generation in Scotland. If you have the oldest Suding you can search for in Oldenburg.
Best regards,
Gunter
