Louis is the son of Louis Gagne and Marie Launay. He learned to read and write very well. He worked with his father as a miller at Guemansais, and then at the mill at Courteoulin, in the parish of Saint-Come. He married Marie Michel on 11 June 1638, in France.
The family lived in Chateau-Richer for two years, before moving to the Ste-Anne de-Beaupre area. Louis worked on a farm as an indentured servant. His service was complete on 31 March 1653.
He was able to acquire property, where he cleared the land and built a home. By 1661, he was in debt and life was difficult.
They had seven more children after moving to Quebec, so they had nine children altogether. Please see Marie's memorial for a full list of their children.
Louis Gagne and Louis Guimond, whose families both lived in Sainte-Anne du Petit-Cap, both mysteriously disappeared in 1661 as there is no record of their deaths. However, a document preserved at the Seminary of Quebec says that, "on the 18th of this month (June 1661) at 8:00 in the morning began the massacre of several people at Beaupre...which is found to be true."
It's believed that they were both captured in the attack and that Louis Guimond was beaten close to death. It's also believed that Louis Gagne received mortal wounds and he received aid from the Nursing Sisters of the Hotel-Dieu in Quebec, but there is no proof of what happened to either man.
