Life sketchEdited Extract from the Wikitree page for Madeleine Charlot: Pierre Gareman immigrated from France about 1639 along with his wife Madeleine Charlot and their first two children, Florence and Nicole. Pierre was engaged to work at Portneuf, but Iroquois presence there drove them to take refuge at the Jesuit mission at Sillery, where daughter Marguerite was born and baptized in 1639. By 1643 the family was at Trois-Rivières, where son Charles was born. After another unsuccessful attempt to develop their employer’s seigneury at Portneuf, the family settled at Cap-Rouge (now part of Quebec city). On 10 June 1653 a neighbor was killed in an Iroquois attack and Pierre and his 10-year-old son Charles were captured. Madeleine had died previously. Pierre was killed, but Charles? For more than 20 years it was assumed that 10-year-old Charles had been likewise killed. However, in June 1677 he appeared in Quebec, very much alive, with his wife, of the Oneida nation and their infant daughter. She was duly baptized and left at the Ursuline convent to be raised. Charles and his wife then left Quebec for parts unknown. There is no record of them returning to Quebec or that anyone saw them again. Their daughter died in 1683.
