VAILLANT/ Alexis/approx. 1731

Hello Barbara,
I have done some research for cousins who are descendants of Alexis Vaillant and Marie Judith Tellier dit La Fortune. One of the children of Alexis and Marie Judith was Alexis (b. 1764, d. 1818). He went to Upper Canada from L'Asssomption and married his second wife--as the first wife had died--at Bath Village, Ernestown, Lennox and Addington Co., Lower Canada (Ontario) in 1806. His second wife's name was Marie Des Anges Tetreau dit DuCharme. They had the following children: Alexis, Louison, Jean Baptiste, Marie Madeleine, Marie Jeanne, Marie Julie, and Marie Josepte. Two of my cousins are descendants of the son born on 1807 named Alexis (and named after Alexis b. abt 1731 and Alexis b. 1764 ). His name evolved over a period of time to Alexander Vallier. He died in Iowa in 1891 or 1892. Another cousin is a descendant of Louison. His name evolved over time to Lewis Value or Valeu.
Alexis (b. 1764) had a brother Jean Baptiste (b. 1772) who also went to Upper Canada and was there in 1818 when his brother died, so helped the widow with her seven children. Jean Baptiste had a number of children with his two wives. The first wife died in 1808 in Lower Canada (Quebec). Thesecond wife,Marie Majeau, had some children in Lower Canada (Quebec) and some in Upper Canada (Ontario). They lived in Loughborough Twp., Frontenac Co., L.C. for a number of years. Some of their children were Joseph, Edouard, Omer, Henriette, Domithilde, Marie Louise, Marie, and Daniel. I cannot recall the names of the others right now.
I know, from the L'Assomption Parish Records, that the father of Alexis (b. abt 1731) was Pierre Rene Vaillant. I cannot remember the mother's name. I do remember that the names of Marie Judith's parents were Joseph Tellier dit La Fortune and Madeleine Loiseau.
Alexis and Marie Judith had a large family. Somewhere in my storage room I have a binder with the names of all of their children and the spouses of the children. I'll look for the information, and try to send another message to you.
Joy
