Hi and Happy New Year,
I am searching for information about the Carter family and related
families (Burt, Brooks) who were captured by de Rouville's raiders and
marched from Deerfield, Ma. to Quebec. My ancestor, John Carter was 8 at
the time. He converted to Catholicism and stayed in Quebec as Jean
Chartier. I visited the excellent and helpful library at Deerfield
Village last weekand learned more about John's father , Samuel as well
as about the raid and march to Quebec. Many of Jean's grandchildren
returned to the (about to be) US at the time of the Revolution. Some
lines of the family are called Chortie, Sharkey and other variants as
well as some who resumed the name Carter. Sincerely, Jeanne Lurie
