Bernard-Philippe-Alexis Carrié
Bernard-Philippe-Alexis Carrie (1780-1867) was a Haitian military commander and politician.
Born in 1780[1] in Arcahaie, Saint-Domingue, (present-day Haiti), he was born in the mixed-race family of Alexis Carrie and his wife Marguerite-Anastasie Azema.[2] In 1806, together with generals Henri Christophe, Alexandre Petion and Colonel Jean-Pierre Boyer, he took part in a conspiracy to overthrow Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines,[3] then under the command of Boyer participated in the defense of Port-au-Prince.
After General Boyer was proclaimed President of the Republic following Pétion's death in 1818, he became his closest associate, distinguished himself in the expedition to the Spanish part of the island, and from 1832 to February 1843, with the rank of brigadier general, he led the armed forces of the Haitian Republic. However, in 1843, a strong uprising in the south of the island overthrew Boyer and on March 13 the rebels captured Port-au-Prince. As result, he fled with Boyer to Jamaica. By government decree of May 25, 1843, he was recognized as one of the culprits of tyranny and a traitor to the homeland, and his property was confiscated. He died in 1867 at the age of 87.
He was married five times: first to Petronie Ceron, second to Claudine, third to Louise-Victoire Labattre, fourth to Josephine Labattre, fifth to Henriette Leveque; he had a total of 12 children.
