When Volume V of the Chartier books was being written in 1982, the information on the descendants of Joseph Chartier and Aurelie Richard was provided by Mrs. Milo Sharkey of Hood River, Oregon. But, Mrs. Sharkey had obtained a lot of the information from Bonnie Baldwin who had been researching this family since the 1950’s. The 12 children shown on page 165 and 166 of Volume V came from the research of these two ladies. Now, based upon new research by Jan Lyman, another child has been discovered. This child, Joseph, Jr. was born on 14 Oct 1841 in St. Jean, Quebec. According to the church records, he was born out of wedlock, and baptized as Joseph Inconnu (unknown). It is possible, however, that Joseph and Aurelie may have had a civil marriage in Clinton County, New York, which is where Joseph’s parents lived. But, that may not be true since French-Canadian couples that had such civil marriages did not have their children baptized until after the church endorsed the marriage. When Joseph and Aurelie were married, Joseph is listed as a “minor child” of Antoine Chartier and the late Francoise Boivin of Plattsburgh, NY. What that means, I am not sure, since Joseph was 19 when he and Aurelie were married. Based upon the birth dates of the two Joseph’s, Joseph, Sr. was 18 when Aurelie became pregnant with Joseph, Jr. In the 1851 Quebec census, Joseph, Jr. is shown living with his grandparents Mathurin and Marie-Magdeleine (Bourgeois) Richard. In that census, Joseph, Jr. is listed as being 11 years old. If the census information is correct, he would have been born ca 1840.
According to the descendants, of Joseph and Aurelie (Richard) Chartier/Sharkey, the family came to the United States on 17 May 1851. The family seems to think they first located in Michigan, but show up in Ste Anne, Illinois by July 1856 where their daughter, Salina was born. The family says their son Louis was born in Three Oaks, Michigan in March 1861. They also said their second to last child, William was born in Three Oaks in July 1868, and their last child, Middie, was born in Kankakee, Ill. in Sep 1868. Sometime between those two dates the family returned to Illinois.
It is possible that Joseph, Jr. may have never lived with his parents and was raised by his grandparents. Until this new information was discovered, it appears that none of the descendants of Joseph and Aurelie in the United States knew of Joseph, Jr. Also, it is fairly clear that he did not go to the United States with his parents because the 1910 census says Joseph, Jr. came to the U.S. in 1854. His naturalization papers, however, says he came to the U.S. through Keeseville, NY in May 1856. The family of Joseph, Jr. kept the Chartier name whereas the descendants of his brothers and sisters became Sharkey when they relocated to Indiana and points farther west.
In the Indiana records Aurelie is also called Arvilla, Orilla and Emelia. The name Emilie Richare appears on the marriage certificate for Joseph Chartier when he married Sophronie Bouley. However, a marriage registrar in Hudson, Mass. lists Joseph, Jr.’s mother as Laura Richare.
