The Jesuit Journal tells us that on the 10-06-1653 the Onieda tribe of the Iroquois attacked Cap Rouge. They took three captives, a young man Hugues le Cousturier, Pierre Gareman and his ten year old son, Charles. Captive children were raised as members of the tribe. This is what they did with Charles Gareman. Charles married an Onieda woman named Marie Gonnentenne and was living in an Onieda village, upstream from Quebec in 1677. That year he took his daughter Louise to Quebec for baptism. He left her with the Ursuline nuns. Louise died there in 1683. Nothing more is known of Charles Gareman.
In the Histoire De Notre-Dame de Ste. Foy, the priest H.-A. Scott writes (pp. 295-296): "the 10-06-1653, ... Pierre Gareman, called the Picard, had a consequence even more sad, as he was taken alive with his son Charles, of eight years, ... Charles owes his life to his young age and was later released." Effectively, in the autumn of 1655, the Jesuits bought him from the Onneyouts. In 1676, Charles will wed Marie Gonnentenne, of which the daughter Louise, god-daughter of Frontenac, will die at the Ursulines in 1683.

==Biography==
{{French Roots}}'''Charles "Gannonchiase" Gareman''', son of [[Gareman-18|Pierre Gareman]] and [[Charlot-2|Madeleine Charlot]], was born 27 Mar 1643 at Trois-Rivières, Nouvelle-France.[[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/acte/86960 baptism IGD]]
(Note on spelling: The name Gareman gets spelled Gareman, Garman, Garmand, Garemam, Garement, Garemen; all sound alike)
Pierre Gareman emigrated 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 the Iroquois threat 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 and baptized. After another futile attempt to develop their employer’s seigneury at Portneuf, the family settled at Cap Rouge (now part of Quebec city).
On 10 June 1653 the Iroquois attacked, killing a neighbor and capturing Pierre and his 10-year-old son Charles. Pierre was killed, doubtless in a most unpleasant fashion, and his remains were found the following year at Trois-Rivières and given Christian burial on 25 July. But Charles?
For more than twenty years it was assumed that 10-year-old Charles had been likewise killed, but in June 1677 he showed up, very much alive, in Quebec, with an Oneida wife and an infant daughter, who was duly baptized and then turned over to the Ursuline convent to be raised. Charles and his wife then disappeared back into the wilderness and there is no record of them ever having been seen again by any white person; the daughter died in 1683.[[http://habitantsandvoyageurs.blogspot.ca/2011/03/tues-par-les-iroquois-part-2.html habitantsandvoyageurs.blogspot.ca]]
Charles, only ten years old at the time, was raised by the Iroquois. He was an habitant du bourg d’Oneiout, pays d’en haut. His Iroquois name was Gannonchiase. He married Marie Gonnentenne, an Iroquois Oneiout[[http://pellgene.tripod.com/iroquis.htm pellgene.tripod.com]]
He had a daughter baptized in Québec city's Notre-Dame basilica on 14 Jun 1677, [[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/acte/414843 Louise Garman 1677 baptism IGD]]named Louise Garman. He is listed as residing in ''Bourg d'Onneiut''; the mother is listed as Marie Gonnentenre, native woman of the same residence. This daughter Louise dies in Québec city on 6 Sept 1683, being buried the next day in Notre-Dame cemetery[[https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/acte/69447 Louise Garmand 1683 funeral IGD]] at the age of 6. She died in the Ursulines nuns' pensionat of that city.
His date of death is unknown, except that it was some time after 14 June 1677, when he is on record at his daughter's baptism.
