According to the 1900 census, Frederick Wilhelm Dohme, immigrated to America in 1853 at the age of 27. He was from Obernkirchen, Germany, having been born there August 7, 1826. He settled in Boscobel, Grant Co., Wisconsin where he married Harriet Schnee September 17, 1854. He became a naturalized citizen March 6, 1860. He enlisted for military service during the Civil War January 1, 1864, 3rd Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry, Co. F.
I believe this Frederick Wilhelm Dohme was a son of Frederick Wilhelm Dohme and Caroline Charlotte Harke. His mother, Charlotte, and his siblings immigrated to America in 1852 and settled in Austin, Texas.
Frederick and Harriet had two children, William Frederick Dohme and Mary Charlotte Dohme. His son, William, died at the age of 4, but I don't know exactly when he was born. This information I had obtained from Frederick's obituary which was posted by someone at findagrave.com. His daughter, Mary Charlotte, never married, so his line died out.
This is how they appeared in the 1860 census for Wingville, Grant Co., Wisconsin.
