At least 1contact has cited Jette and Tanguay for some of the info. In particular, James Carten of theAcadien-Cajun-L a rootsweb.com mailing list posted extensive details about Pierre Gareman's life in New France from numerous sources as given below.Pierre Gareman dit LePicard is listed as Garman in theProgramme de rechercheen d?mographie historique(PRDH) Pioneer files. A great deal of the first several generations of Pierre's can be found in Jette's Dictionnaire g?n?alogique des familles du Qu?bec : des origines ? 1730 (Jett?), as well as in l'abbe Cyprien Tanguay's works: Dictionnaire g?n?alogique des familles canadiennes depuis la fondation de la colonie jusqu'? nos jours (Tanguay). Several generations down the line, this French Canadian family connects with famillies from Acadia, and information about these marriages was found in Stephen A. Whites' Dictionnaire g?n?alogique des familles Acadiennes : Premi?re Partie 1636 ? 1714 (SWhite).For quick reference, check the (myNOTE: not updated yet!) outline for 8 generations for this family.Descendants of Pierre GAREMANGenerationNo.11.

Their first child arrived in 1629 and their second in 1631, they were girls, Florence and Nicole. This little family migratedtoQuebec before the birth and baptismof their third daughter, Marguerite, in 1639. They had, Charles, theironly son in 1643. They baptized Charles in Trois-Rivieres.According toMarcel Trudel (Terrier, p.307), the Gareman was in the region of Portneuffrom 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, atthehospice. It was about the same era that Pierre stayed sometime in Trois-Rivieres. Heshows 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 themto 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 twentyyearsago" because the buildings were burned," in which they suffered notable losses that cost him a lot topresently 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 residantsatthat time are Pierre Gareman and Rene Mezerets dit Nopce.In 1652 orbefore, the Compagnie des Cent-Associes granted to Pierre Gareman someland 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 sumof 300 pounds. This property, today, takes up the major part of the parishes of Ste. Ursule and St. Benoit at the westernendof thecity 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): "the10-06-1653, Francois Boule, called Petit Homme, was working in his field, which bordered on that of ReneMezerets, 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 Journalalso tellsabout 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,asthey did with our Pierre Gareman.References: Ancetres by Jacques Saintonge #162; "One HundredFrench-Canadian Families", p. 167-168, by Phillip Moore;and Jette
