About Prof. Karl "Charles" Theodore Christian Follen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Follen

Charles Follen (September 6, 1796 – January 13, 1840) was a German poet and patriot, who later moved to the United States and became the first professor of German at Harvard University, a Unitarian minister, and a radical abolitionist.

He was born Karl Theodor Christian Friedrich Follen (also Follenius) at Romrod, in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, to Christoph Follenius (1759–1833) and Rosine Follenius (1766–1799). His father was a counselor-at-law and judge in Giessen, in Hesse-Darmstadt. His mother had retired to Romrod to avoid the French revolutionary troops that had occupied Gießen. He was the brother of August Ludwig Follen and Paul Follen, and the uncle of the biologist Karl Vogt.
