Notes for Gabriel Valleau:
Other derivations of this surname spelling are Vallot and Vallo,
as seen from the colonial records. In the late 1600's a large
number of the Valleau family of La Rochell, France were
protestant and fled to the East Coast of America (British
Colonies). According to legend, only 1 female stayed, because
she converted to Catholic and became a nun.
It appears from the "Louisiana Historical Quarterly, Vol. 4", p.
240, that Gabriel had died by the time that his widow, Marie
Anne (Jean) Morin (or Merry) Valleau and their 6 year old
daughter, Marie Anne Valleau, filed a contract to emigrate to
Louisiana on January 3, 1728. It is believed that she and
Gabriel lived in the Isle of Bath, Brittany, France, but left
France through La Rochelle. The widow Valleau had entered into
a marriage contract with Claude Chardon, on Sept. 7, 1728 (La.
Historical Quarterly; Vol. 4; p. 498]. Apparently, her mother
and stepfather died, as Marie Anne Valleau (Gabriel's young
daughter) was raised in the Convent of the Ursulines in New
Orleans.
According to Mrs. Edna Rabalais, of Alexandria, La. ( in her
January 31, 1983 letter to Mrs. Ina Aymond Plauche), Marie Ann
Valleau (Gabriel's daughter) first married Andre Simon, on May
5, 1738, in New Orleans, La. They had a daughter Catherine
Simon. Catherine was apparently raised by Pierre Joffrion after
he married her mother. Catherine Simon went by the surname
Joffrion. According to Mr. Nelson Gremillion (in a letter to me
dated 11\19\1997), there were 2 other Simon sisters.
Marguerite Simon married Jacques Cuvillier on March 19, 1757 in
Pointe Coupee Parish, La. The other sister, Marie Louise Simon,
married Francois Barre on April 21, 1765 in Pointe Coupee. Of
course, Pierre and Marie Anne then had at least 1 child,
Marianne Joffrion, who was our ancestor that eventually married
Jean Baptiste Aymond.
