The Red Jacket of Loyalist Andres Ten Eyck
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 | History
The Old United Empire Loyalist List, Appendix B, page 264, provides the name of Andrew Ten Eyck, residing in Kingston, Ontario in 1783, who is listed as a soldier with the Jersey Volunteers. His actual name was Andres Ten Eyck. From Kingston in 1783, Andres settled in Missisquoi County, Quebec, in the 1790s. This is near the Vermont border. A red military coat owned by Andres came into the hands of a descendant, a Mrs. Ellis, and was donated by her in 2011, to the Missisquoi Historical Society. The historical society made a request to have the coat restored by the Centre de conservation du Quebec (CCQ). The request was granted, and the coat is undergoing restoration.
The curator at the museum at Missisquoi feels that the coat may have an earlier origin than a Revolutionary War, since it has cuffs which appears to be earlier, and it lacks certain other details.
