Louis was an apothecary by trade as was his father, Nicolas. He made at least two trips to New France; the first in 1604 when he helped Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons, a companion of King Henri IV, and Samuel de Champlain to establish the first pioneer village in North America on Sainte Croix Island. Louis studied medicinal plants, used by the local Indians, which he cultivated and used along with his apothecary skills and knowledge to care for the health of the pioneers. This pioneer settlement lasted only one year when the surviving settlers, (44 of the original 79) were moved to a more viable settlement at Port Royal in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Three years later Champlain established a new settlement in what is now Québec City and Louis moved there in 1608. This was destroyed by the English in 1613 and Louis returned to his apothecary shop in Paris.
He had a strong pioneer spirit, however, and in 1617, he and his family crossed the Atlantic for the last time to join Champlain's latest settlement in Québec City. In 1623 Louis petitioned the Duke of Ventadour for a parcel of land in what is now Québec City. In his petition he said that he had sold all his goods in Paris, and left his relatives and friends to work for the betterment of the new colony. He received this land grant in 1623. There he was credited with being the first head of a family to be self sustaining by living on what he produced on his land.
Louis HÉBERT is credited with a number of firsts in North America:
- among the first pioneers, 1604.
- the first apothecary.
- the first head of a family to sustain life from the produce of his land.
- the first farmer to grow wheat in North America.
- his house was the first to be built in Upper Québec City between Famille and Couillard Streets.
- his daughter, Anne, was the first girl to be married in Canada in 1618.Louis' untimely death in 1627 resulted from a serious fall. The colony felt a real loss by his death as he had contributed, after Champlain, the largest share to the establishment of Québec City, and to the establishment of New France. He was buried in the Cemetery of the Convent of St. Charles. Some years later the land of the Cemetery was disturbed and, in 1678, his remains were transferred to the underground vault of the Church of the Recollets in Upper Québec City.
The numerous descendants of Louis HÉBERT include many illustrious families in Canada: Joliet, DeLery, DeRamesay, D'Eschambault, Fournier, Mgr. Taschereau, Archbishop of Québec, the Archbishop and Bishop Blanchet, l'Oregon, and Mgr. Taché, Bishop of Rivière Rouge.
A monument to honour Louis HÉBERT and his family and companions is located in "Parc Montmorency" behind the Notre-Dame de Québec basilica and next to the street "Côte de la Montagne" where the Prescott gate used to stand. It is about 300 yards north of the Château Frontenac Hotel. Louis Hébert had his concession of about 30 acres in this general area of the upper town.
On one side of the monument is a plaque commemorating the names of 47 families who first settled in Québec City. About one-third of these are your ancestors!
