Wrong mother[edit]

(Comment moved from WP:ERRORS)

Brigadier General William Henry Charles Bohlen's mother wasn't Johanna Magdalena Oswald (died 13 Feb 1805 Amsterdam, Netherlands) but his father Bohl Bohlen's Dutch second wife Anna Schimmel, born 23 Oct 1786 Sint Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles and died 6 Apr 1814 Amsterdam, Netherlands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:203F:D700:7C96:9F1B:C576:5E90 (talk) 16:42, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
