I have no information on John Vallee in France, however he shows up in Beouf tp, Franklin Cnty, Missouri - settled there in 1864; married Mary MULHALL in 1865; children John T. b. 1865 & Mary b. 1869; returned to France after 1870 where his first family lived. No known connection to the VALLEEs of St. Genevieve.

John Vallee was a Vintner - established the Missouri Valley Wine Company.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi John,
Funny, after about 6 years of searching for anyone with info on my family I stumble onto this message. John B. Vallee was my great-great grandfather. My grandfather, Joseph F. Vallee is the son of John T. and Mary Vallee. My father is Joseph G. Vallee. I have some info on this family, but have never been able to trace them much after 1870. I have found them in land records in New Haven, MO, but do not know where they went after it seems they split up. My G-Grandfather, John T. ran away from home ( the story my dad tells) went up to Chicago and married Christy Hardy, they had several children. No one can say for sure where Mary went, Rumor was she went to CA where her daughter Mary lived. Not sure though.... have never found her in any records. What do you know and who are U?

Hello Cristine -

I am also a descendent of John & Mary Vallee. My grandfather was John T Vallee III b. 9/26/1915, son of John T Vallee II b 11/17/1890 (brother to your gr grandfather), son of John T Vallee b 3/10/1865 and Josephine Christine Hardy, son of John Vallee b 1827 France married to Mary Mulhall b 5/1/1844.

I have quite a bit of Vallee geneaology if you are interested, along with pictures. I have been working on this project for about 8 months now - still work in progress. I also have most posted on a private website.

Feel free to contact me at katz0525@yahoo.com for more information. I would like to get some information from you as well, as I have very little information about your grt grandfather, Joseph Francis Vallee, b Mar 25 1906 Cook County, d. July 19 1982 - I have his wife as Bernardine and two children, Joseph Vallee and Renee Vallee.

Look forward to talking with you more.

Greetings from Kansas City, I am the Grandson of Thomas Archibald Vallee, Great Grandson of John T. and Great Great of John of Beof and france...

I am that last male in that branch, but alas my surname isn't Vallee..

Thomas Archibald had a son, Thomas Arthur, who's name is either honored or reviled depending on your historical perspective. Uncle Tom never married and passed on almost 25 years ago.

Actually it was the New Haven Wine Company and I've got an artical where he was interviewed about the verities of grapes he established.

His middle name was Bernard and I am actively researching his history, he was my Great-Great Grandfather. He may have owned two slaves and it isn't certain whether he actually returned to France, he may have gone to Missippi.

Mary Ann Mulhall, his wife, apparently left a convent to run off with him too....

May may have either gone to Iowa to her Brother Toms or parhaps San Francisco and remarried. Her middle name was apparently Ann.
