Alexander CHARTIER |
Alexandre Chartier, on his application for a War Pension pretended that in April 1814 he was employed at Vergennes, Vermont to carry timber for the construction of the ship “Saratoga” at the very end of such construction. Then in May 15 being at Fort Carson, he was engaged as a volunteer-sailor on the same ship, until the arrival of the marine (August 20, 1814). The around the first of September, still according to his own account, he went as a volunteer on Sept. 8 to Captain Gedeon Spendard’s Co. to be in the first rank at the battle of Lunetry. He was discharged shortly after. This application was made from Massena, NY.
When the 1840 census was taken, the Alexander Carter household in Massena (Saint Lawrence), NY had one male between 40 and 50; one female under 5 years old; and 3 females between 30 and 40. When the 1850 census was taken, the Alexander Carter family was living in Massena. Alexander was a farmer. In the next household was Mary Carter, age 42, who was born in Vermont. This is probably Alexander’s sister and was probably one of the two females between 30 and 40 in Alexander’s household in the 1840 census. When the 1860 census was taken, this family was still living in Massena and Alexander was still a farmer. And, Marry was still living in the next household where she was a “tailoress”. When the 1870 census was taken, the Alexander “Carty” family was still living in Massena. Alexander was still a farmer, and Mary was now in the household as an assistant housekeeper. Laura wasn’t in the household which probably means she married before 1840. When the 1880 census was taken, this family was still living in Massena and Alexander was now a widower and still a farmer. His sister Mary is still living in the household as is his daughter, Sally. From the military records for Alexander’s father, it appear that his widowed mother was living with him in 1838; but she isn’t in the household when the 1840 census was taken. That probably means she died before 1840.
