Talk:Charles O'Hara

Personally captured by Napoleon & Washington
Currently says that O'Hara surrendered personally to Washington & Bonaparte. Not sure this is entirely true. He was not personally captured by Washington (his army surrendered as a bloc), and during the official surrender ceremony Washington symbolically refused to accept his sword because he did not consider O'Hara an equal. Definitely not personally captured. Similarly Napoleon did not capture O'Hara himself, his troops did. Might remove this soon. 86.139.146.148 (talk) 01:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

"...O'Hara extended Cornwallis's sword and, Lincoln took the sword..."
This can't be right can it?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nshapter (talk • contribs) 18:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes it can. General Washington's second in command was Major General Benjamin Lincoln. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.21.8 (talk) 14:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Portuguese
He was born in Portugal, to a Portuguese mother, and his mother was not married. This would suggest he was a Portuguese national at birth. I am thinking we should reflect this in the categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Do any sources describe him as Portuguese? If not, then no; his ODNB certainly doesn't. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
