Jean Augustin Hébert, dit Jolicoeur, originaire de Caen, en Normandie, est arrivé à Montréal en 1641. Marié à Adrienne du Vivier avaient trois enfants: Jeanne, Léger et Ignace. Leurs deux fils se marièrent et eurent une progéniture nombreuse. On leur compte vingt-et-un fils. La plupart des québécois descendent de cette lignée.

Il était maçon et voyageur pour la traite des fourrures. Par de Maisonneuve il a obtenu une terre sur la petite rivière St-Pierre. Sur la place d'Youville, à l'extrémité est de la rue Saint Pierre dans le Vieux Montréal, se dresse un obélisque de granit où sont gravés les noms des colons fondateurs. Sous le nom de mon ancêtre est écrit ceci : Augustin Jean Hébert est remarquable pour avoir été, avec son épouse Adrienne Duvivier, l'un des compagnons de M. de Maisonneuve en ce jour solennel du 18 mai 1642, lorsqu'il débarqua sur notre rivage, y assista à la première messe et fonda Ville-Marie.

One of the most interesting points in Montreal, from an historical viewpoint, is the Place Royal. In the center, one can see a beautiful obelisk, erected by the "Historical Society of Montreal". There are inscriptions engraved on the face of this obelisk, which are of historic interest. On the side facing west are the names of the first colonists of Montreal. They include: Jeanne Mance (established a hospital at Montreal) Augustin Hebert, Adrienne DuVivier Nicolas Gode (a joiner w/ a household of six) Francoise Gadois[: Louis D'Ailleboust (officer & trained military engineer) Francoise Gode Gilbert Barbier (carpenter) Cesar Leger, etc...

Translated from: Memoires de la Societe Genealogique

Augustin Hebert had as a "dit" name "Jolycoeur". In documents he signed sometimes with one, sometimes the other, but it disappeared with him as his children did not use it. He was for a long time confused with Jean Hebert of Montreal who was killed by the Iroquois in 1651.

It is traditional to have Augustin Hebert coming from Caen, Normandy, but there is evidence that he came from Paris. In leaving from the port of La Rochelle in spring of 1647, he is listed as living in the city of Paris & his eldest daughter, Jeanne, was born at St-Barthelemy de Paris.

Although both spouses are listed as coming to Nouvelle France in 1641 with M. de Maisonneuve, there is no evidence to support this. Augustin Hebert returned to France in 1646 so he was established in Canada prior to that. There is no mention of Adrienne du Vivier in Canada before 1646. It is assumed that they were married in France in 1646 as their eldest daughter, Jeanne, was born there in 1647. The family sailed to Montreal during 1647. Hebert is said to have been the first colonist to enroll an "engage" (Rene Pigneau-carpenter for five years at 75 livres per year). His trades are mentioned as being master-mason, merchant, fur-trader & farmer.

Four children were born of the marriage. The first born in Canada, Pauline, had as godfather, M. de Maissonneuve, governor of Montreal & as godmother, Jeanne Mance, founder of the Hotel-Dieu in Montreal.

Augustin Hebert died about 1653. It is mentioned in the Journal des Jesuits that on 23 October 1653 news was brought of the death or capture or sinking of Jolycoeur and d'Aras of Montreal. He was not considered dead until the following June when M. de Maissoneuve asked that his inventory be taken.

According to Marcel Trudel's "Catalogue des Immigrants 1632-1662" Hebert arrived in 1637. http://www.ilos.net/~lhowland/html-fr/hebert.txt
