    Notes 
    • In 1628, Pierre Gareman of Bagneux, Picardie married Marguerite Charlot. Their first child arrived in 1629 and their second in 1631, they were girls, Florence and Nicole. This little family migrated to Quebec before the birth and baptism of their third daughter, Marguerite, in 1639. They had, Charles, their only son in 1643. They baptized Charles in Trois-Rivieres.
      According to Marcel Trudel (Terrier, p.307), the Gareman was in the region of Portneuf from 1640 to work in the service of Jacques Le Neuf de la Poterie. A short time later, around 1642, the Iroquois forced them to take refuge in Sillery, at the hospice. It was about the same era that Pierre stayed sometime in Trois-Rivieres. He shows up as a witness in 1643. The 25-05-1646, the seigneur Le Neuf came back again and signed with Gareman and Rene Mezeray a contract that incites them to take up where they left off in Portneuf. This contract did not have the desired follow-up because Mr. de la Poterie will declare in 1668 that the Iroquois danger obliged him and "many of his tenant farmers, had to abandon the area twenty years ago" because the buildings were burned," in which they suffered notable losses that cost him a lot to presently settle and could not do it earlier because there were no troops in the country" (The Carignan Reg.). The historian Trudel concludes that the occupation of the area is not yet really underway before 1663, because the only two known residants at that time are Pierre Gareman and Rene Mezerets dit Nopce.
      In 1652 or before, the Compagnie des Cent-Associes granted to Pierre Gareman some land of four arpents wide on the (St. Lawrence) river, to which originally was twelve and a half arpents deep, and later to fifty. [In 26-03-1656, the inheritors will sell this land with buildings to Etienne Letellier, for the sum of 300 pounds. This property, today, takes up the major part of the parishes of Ste. Ursule and St. Benoit at the western end of the city of Ste. Foy.]
      In 10-06-1653, when he was living at Cap Rouge with his family, Pierre and his son Charles, 8 years old, are captured by the Iroquois. In the Histoire De Notre-Dame de Ste. Foy, the priest H.-A. Scott writes (pp. 295-296): "the 10-06-1653, Francois Boule, called Petit Homme, was working in his field, which bordered on that of Rene Mezerets, when he was hit by three gunshots, one in the stomach, in the groin, and in the thigh, then scalped. His other neighbor, Pierre Gareman, called the Picard, had a consequence even more sad, as he was taken alive with his son Charles, of eight years, and a young man named Hugues Couturier, and reserved to these terrible tortures so often written about.
      The Jesuit Journal also tells about the attack on 10-06-1653 by the Onieda tribe of the Iroquois on Cap Rouge. The Journal refers to ten year old son, Charles. The Iroquois did not approve of men letting themselves be captured. They usually tortured and killed them, as they did with our Pierre Gareman.

      Pierre Gareman and his wife and 2 daughters were from Baigneux near Soissons per Florence Gareman's marriage record (image of record on profile). DOB is estimated.
      {{Canada_Nouvelle-France}}[[Gareman dit Picard-1|Pierre Gareman]] migrated from France about 1639 along with his wife [[Charlot-2|Madeleine Charlot]] and their first two children, [[Gareman-3|Florence]] and [[Gareman-1|Nicole]] . Pierre was engaged to work at Portneuf, but the Iroquois threat there drove them to take refuge at the Jesuit mission at Sillery, where daughter [[Gareman-4|Marguerite]] was born and baptized in 1639. By 1643, the family was at Trois-Rivières, where son [[Gareman-5|Charles]] was born and baptized. After another futile attempt to develop their employer’s seigneury at Portneuf, the family settled at Cap-Rouge (now part of Quebec city).
      On 10 June 1653 the Iroquois attacked, killing a neighbor and capturing Pierre and his 10-year-old son Charles. Pierre was killed, doubtless in a most unpleasant fashion. But Charles?
      For more than twenty years it was assumed that 10-year-old Charles had been likewise killed, but in June 1677 he showed up, very much alive, in Quebec, with an Oneida wife and an infant daughter, who was duly baptized and then turned over to the Ursuline convent to be raised. Charles and his wife then disappeared back into the wilderness and there is no record of them ever having been seen again by any white person; the daughter died in 1683.[http://habitantsandvoyageurs.blogspot.ca/2011/03/tues-par-les-iroquois-part-2.html Habitants and voyageurs blogspot]
