The descendants of Pierre Vaillant (died 1735) and his wife Jeanne Faucheux (died 1721), of the Parish of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade in Quebec. The family members who settled in Frontenac County, Ontario, in the first half of the 1800s changed the name to Vallier.

While reading your information here I ran across on page 13 what I think is my great great great grandfathers family history, Alexander Vallier who settled in Iowa who’s father was Thomas Vallier and his father was Alexander Valler who came from Canada and married Mary (Marion)Drapper. Both were natives of France who settled in Upper Canada when they were young: and where they were married, lived and died. Alexander and marry had 8 children, one of which was Thomas (my great great grandfather),who had a son Alexander who was my great great grandfather. Thank you for this incredible story of family history.
