Louis Hébert

Louis Hébert is widely considered the first European apothecary in the region that would later become Canada, as well as the first European to farm in said region. He was born around 1575 at 129 de la rue Saint-Honoré in Paris to Nicolas Hébert and Jacqueline Pajot. He loved another woman but according to his father's wish he married Marie Rollet on 19 February 1601 at the Church of Saint-Sulpice, Paris.
