Early Life
Louis Boulduc was one of at least five children. His father was Pierre Boulduc and his mother was Gillette Pijart. Louis had at least four brothers, Simon who was an apothecary in Paris; Pierre who was procurator in "Le Chatelet"; Gilles who was an Augustinian monk; and Jacques who was an Augustinian monk. He was sent to Quebec as a member of the Carignan-Salières Regiment in 1665 (age 17 and assumed the "war name" of "Bosleduc"), and remained behind to settle in Charlesbourg, when the regiment left. Louis married Elizabeth Hubert (1651–1701?) on August 20, 1668 in Quebec, Canada.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
