Amasya‘nın Fethiye Mahallesi’nden İbrâhim Çelebi oğludur. Çelebioğlu demekle meşhûrdur. Yeniçeri silkine girip Seksenyedinci Cemâat’a yazıldı. 1069’da yasakçı, ba’dehû Amasya serdârı, 1094’de eşkiyâ üzerine me’mûren kır serdârı oldu.
1099’da Emîrler Vak’asında bî-tarâfâne harekâtı Emîrler tarafdârı olduğunu anlatmakla tekâüde sevkedilip 1106’da vefât etdi. Evlâdına Çelebioğulları denir. Şecî’ bir Yeniçeri zâbiti idi.
He was the son of İbrâhim Çelebi, of Amasya's Fethiye quarter, and was known as Çelebioğlu. He entered the Janissary corps and was enrolled in the 87th company (cemaat). In 1069 [1658-59] he became a yasakçı, then commander (serdar) of Amasya; in 1094 [1683] he was commissioned against bandits and became commander of the countryside (kır serdarı).
In the Emirler affair of 1099 [1687-88], his impartial conduct was taken as showing that he sided with the Emirler, and he was retired; he died in 1106 [1694-95]. His descendants are called Çelebioğulları. He was a brave Janissary officer.
The entry is a brief biography of a Janissary officer from the same quarter and contains very few facts: his father's name, the company he belonged to, three posts (yasakçı, commander of Amasya, commander of the countryside), the reason for his retirement and his death date. The entry does not say which document Hüsameddin took this information from.
The "Emirler affair" given as the reason for his retirement could not be found in sources outside this entry. The parties and nature of the event therefore remain unclear. As far as the text goes, his impartial stance during the affair was read by those around him as support for the Emirler and led to his removal.
Searches on the Janissary corps in Amasya and its local officers turned up no record of this man, who was enrolled in the 87th company, or of the Çelebioğulları family. No other source with information on this person was found; the information above rests on Hüsameddin alone.
