  • Notes 
    • The story is that she was Napoleon's translator during his Austrian campaign. He gave her a large emerald, which "Mike" (Sylvan) claimed in 1986 to have "seen before Aunt Carrie lost it. She was a legatee in his will. "Groma" [Caroline's daughter-in-law] ultimately got a few thousand." Caroline's birth and death dates are unknown. However, the Napoleonic Austrian campaign was in 1809. Her sons were born in 1832 and 1840. Assuming she had the first one as late as age 40, she would have been only about 17 in 1809. So, the "folklore" doesn't seem to ring true. [1]
