Louis Hebert and his family were the first colonists in Quebec, comingwith Champlain in 1617. Louis had made three round trips to Acadia1606-1614.
The following is the entry on Louis Hebert in the Dictionary ofCanadian Biography, vol. 1., pp. 367-8. University of Toronto, 1966,by Ethel M.G. Bennett
HEBERT, LOUIS, apothecary, first officer of justice in New France,first Canadian settler to support himself from the soil, m. MarieROLLET; b. Paris 1575?; d. Quebec, January 1627. According to hisdescendant, Couillard Despres, he was the son of a Louis Hebert whowas apothecary at the court of Catherine de' Medici. Documents morerecently discovered in Paris indicate that his father was NicolasHebert, an apothecary, and that Louis was born in the Mortier d' Or, ahouse near the Louvre. The niece of Nicolas Hebert's wife married Jeande Biencourt de Poutrincourt, in 1590. This relationship would explainLouis Hebert's interest in the early settlements in Acadia and hispresence in Du Gua de Monts's expedition.
Lescarbot, in Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.S.) in 1606, speaks withrespect of his skill in healing and his pleasure in cultivating thesoil, and, on his map of that region, indicates an island and a rivernamed for Hebert. In the summer of 1606 Hebert sailed with Champlainand Poutrincourt along the coast to the southwest, seeking other sitessuitable for settlement. Poutrincourt and Hebert were so attracted bywhat is now Gloucester, Mass., that they planted a clearing there totest the soil's fertility. Both hoped to bring their families tosettle in the New World. On this voyage Hebert showed that, thoughintent on peaceful pursuits, he could be counted on for quick andcourageous action in an emergency. With Champlain, Poutrincourt, andseveral others, he leaped from the ship into a small boat, unclothed,in the middle of the night, in response to frantic cries from somefoolhardy men who, having defied orders and remained on shore, werebeing attacked by Indians. The Jonas, arriving from France in June1607, brought the unwelcome news that, because of the cancellation ofde Monts's concessions, the company must return to France.
In 1610, Hebert was again in Port-Royal, with the group whomPoutrincourt hoped to establish there. As apothecary, he treated bothFrench and Indian patients. Apparently meals as well as medicinereceived his consideration; he prepared and administered both to chiefMembertou in his last illness. He was in charge of the settlementwhen, in 1613, Rene le Coq de La Saussaye came with the Marquise deGuercheville's colonists, withdrew the two Jesuit fathers fromPort-Royal, and sailed away to start a new settlement elsewhere. Thecapture of this expedition at Ile des Monts Deserts by the Englishthat same summer was followed by their destruction of Port-Royal(November 1613), and once more Hebert was forced to return to France.
In the winter of l616-17 he renewed acquaintance with Champlain whowas in Paris seeking support for his colony at Quebec. This post,having survived for nine years, probably seemed to Hebert a safe placefor settlers, especially as Champlain obtained for him a favourablecontract from the fur-trading company in control of the St. Lawrenceregion. Relying on these promises -- 200 crowns a year for hisservices as apothecary, and food and shelter for his family whilegetting land cleared -- Hebert sold his house and garden in Paris andtook his wife Marie Rollet and three children, Anne, Guillemette, andGuillaume, to Honfleur ready to embark. There he discovered that thecompany had no intention of honouring its agreement. The best he couldobtain was a new contract, halving his salary and his land grant andstipulating that his family and his servant should be at the serviceof the company without pay. Having no alternative, he accepted andsailed with his family 11 March 1617.
In Quebec his apothecary's skill and his small store of grain were agodsend to the sick and starving winterers. In spite of the company'sdemands on his and his servant's time, he suc ceeded in clearing andplanting some land. Champlain, on his brief visit of 1618, foundcultivated land "filled with fine grain" and gardens in whichflourished a variety of vegetables.
For many years Hebert was the only man besides Champlain himself whotook any interest in cultivating land. The trading company did theirutmost to discourage him. Both Champlain and Sagard say that theunlawful restrictions they imposed upon him and upon the disposal ofhis products prevented him from enjoying the fruits of his labours.
When in 1620 Champlain returned from France with (nominally) fullauthority over the colony, he gave Hebert responsibility in theadministration of justice by appointing him king's attorney. In thiscapacity he signed the colony's petition to the king in 1621. Hebertenjoyed the confidence also of the Indians, whom he, in contrast tomany of his contemporaries, considered as intelligent human beingslacking only education. Many instances bear witness to their respectand affection for him. There is some question of trade relations withGuillaume de Caen, but in view of the fact that the surname Hebert isa very common one, this may be a case of mistaken identity.
In 1622 he petitioned the viceroy for a title to his land and on 4Feb. 1623 received the grant guaranteeing him possession. Known lateras the fief Sault-au-Matelot, the land included sites at presentoccupied by the Basilica, the seminary, and Hebert and Couillardstreets. This title was ratified on 28 Feb. 1626 by the succeedingviceroy and some acres along the St. Charles -- the fief Saint-Joseph,later known as fief de Lespinay -- were added, both holdings to beenjoyed "en fief noble." Hebert had achieved his cherished ambition:he had brought under his control enough of the wild land of the NewWorld to support himself and his family in independence. The meadowsalong the St. Charles afforded pasture for cattle; on the higherground he had grain fields, vegetable gardens, and an orchard plantedwith apple trees brought from Normandy. All this had been achieved inspite of the company's opposition. Moreover, it had been accomplishedwith hand-tools only, not even a plough. (It was not until a yearafter the death of Hebert, that land was worked with plough and oxenand agriculture on a larger scale could begin.)
The winter of 1626 he had a fall on the ice which proved fatal, Hedied 25 Jan. 1627 and was buried in the Recollet cemetery. In 1678 hisbones, still in their cedar coffin, were transferred to the vault ofthe newly erected Recollet chapel and with those of Brother PacifiqueDuplessis were the first to rest there.
