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.
