Antoine-Marie CHARTIER |
Antoine in 1776 (then 11 years old) was enlisted as a fifer in the American Revolution. He is mentioned again as a fifer in 1777 at Albany Major George Nicholson’s detachment. His parents were then residing in Fishkill, Ny, where in 1778 the same “Anthony Shirkey” enlisted in Colonel Hazen’s Regiment as a private and served until Aug 1783 when he was discharged at Snake Hill, NY. He had served in the battles of White Plaines, Springfield, Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown, taking of Burgoyne, Monmouth, Stony Point and Cornwallis. In 1787, he is mentioned as residing at Chazy, NY with a family of 3 (one child). In 1818 he was residing at Acunlius (Cayuga), NY. Like the family of Antoine’s brother, Pierre, there was a legend that both Pierre and Antoine came to America from France with Lafayette. This would indicate that somehow the connection of these two families with that of the Deerfield refugee, John Carter, was not known or was not passed down through the generations in these families. When the 1800 census was taken, there was an Anthony Carter in Milton (Cayuga), NY. In the household was 1 male between 10 and 15; 2 males between 26 and 44; and 1 female between 16 and 25. This is probably the right family; but there are children missing and even the mother seems to be missing. Anthony could not be found in the 1810 census. When the 1820 census was taken, this family was living in Aurelius (Cayuga), NY. In the household was one male over 45; a female under 10; 1 female between 16 and 26; and a female over 45. Anthony could not be found in the 1830 census which might mean he was living in someone’s household. Anthony Carter, alias Shirkee, is listed as a pensioner in Cayuga in an 1835 record. This record says he was a private in Hazen’s Regiment. He was placed on the pension roll on March 24, 1819 and his pension commenced on April 8, 1818. His annual allowance was $96.00; and up to that date had received $1527.16.
