Louis Hebert first came to New France in 1606, but returned to France
before returning in 1617 to stay. Considered "the first family of Quebec"
Hebert established in Quebec in 1617. He planted the first wheat in
Canada, perhaps in North America. He received, in 1626, the confirmation
of a land grant made to him in 1623. In his request of 1623 to the Duke
of Ventadour, he said that for the advancement of the country, he had
sold all his goods in Paris, having left his friends and parents to starta
colony and a Christian people (tribe). The Colony proved to be a complete
failure by the death of Louis, due to a fall, January 25, 1627, in Quebec.
After Champlain himself (who settled Quebec), Hebert played the
greatest role in the establishment of Quebec and the advancement of New
France (Canada). "He (Louis Hebert)", said Champlain, "was the first head
of a family residing in the country, who lived on what he raised." THe
body of Hebert was solomnly interred in the cemetery of the Recollects
at the Convent (Monastery) of St. Charles. Later, his remains were found
and were deposited in a ceder coffin; and in 1678, Father Valentine Le
Roux Superior of the Recollects, had them transferred to the crypt of
thier church at Haute Ville in Quebec.
He was grocer and apothicaire in Acadie (Port Royal) from 1606-1607 and
1611-1613 then in Quebec. District Attorney for the King 1621.
