  4.  Marc VALIER (bp. 21 MAR 1654)
  5.  Susanne VALIER (bp. 1 JUN 1656)

 

Still a minor in 1633, when his guardian was Pierre Valier. The first time he is mentioned is 22 mar 1623, in the terriers of Aubonne, as one of the two heirs of Benjamin Valier, with his guardian Reymond Favre bourgeois and notary of Aubonne. Since Imbert is not mentioned in the proceedings regarding the succession of Esther Tillier, mother of Benjamin Valier's wife Gasparde Sordet, it seems likely that he was a son of Benjamin's next wife, Jeanne Françoise Badel. (The other heir was Antheine, wife of Benjamin Bégoz.)

Still a minor in 1670-1671, when Pierre son of the late Pierre Valier of Aubonne, and his brother Jaques, Curial d'Aubonne, arranged an apprenticeship with Pierre Mussard, goldsmith, for their minor brother Isaac (Louis Pasteur, notary at Geneva, vol. 50, p. 124). He might possibly be a son of the elder Pierre's second wife.

(male)
Father: Benjamin VALIER (bp. 29 FEB 1648, bur. JAN 1714)

His baptism (like those of his siblings) has not yet been located, but he would probably have been in his teens when he was apprenticed in 1699 to Isaac Gradelle, confisseur of Geneva:

[AEG Notaire Jean Fornet, vol. 17, fols. 106-107.]

As he is not mentioned in his father's testament of 1713, he is presumed to have died before then.

Jaques VALIER       (ID #I8394)

(male)
Family 1 : Beatrice PIERRE (d. aft 1560)
  1. +Jean VALIER (b. abt 1538, d. abt 1588)

 

Jaques Valier was the first reformed minister at Aubonne (about September, 1537), mentioned often in the collected correspondence of the French reformers. At the time of his appointment as minister at Aubonne, he had "recently" been appointed deacon and schoolmaster at Vevey. He was appointed second minister at Lausanne in June, 1546, where he served in this capacity until 1559, when he and Pierre Viret left Lausanne as a result of a famous dispute with Bern about the authority of the ministers in matters of doctrine and discipline. When the exiles were established in Geneva, Valier was sent to Rouen, but returned to Geneva in 1560. He is recognized as the founder of the Valier family at Aubonne. His testament is recorded by Ragueau, notary at Geneva, 15 jun 1560 (vol. 3 p. 499), naming his wife Béatrice Pierre, and his son Jean, bourgeois d'Aubonne. The testament was witnessed by his close friend, the famous reformer Pierre Viret. According to correspondence of Théodore de Bèze, Valier died soon after, during the summer of 1560 (letter to Ambroise Blaurer, 22 jan 1561).

He is said to have been a native of Briançon, according to many historians of the Reformation, but on what authority, we have been unable to discover. Haag's La France protesante (1859) says this attribution is due to the "annotateurs de la Bibliothèque de La Croix-du-Maine" — meaning, presumably, the editors of an edition of the bibliography of French literature first published by François Grudé, Sieur de La Croix-de-Maine, in 1584 — however, the "annotateurs" in question could well have been those associated with some later edition, or even with unpublished marginalia of any edition based on Grudé's Bibliothèque. Valier was a priest and schoolmaster in 1534 when he was accused of Lutheran ideas at Privas, according to E. Reynier's Histoire de Privas (1941). The critical edition of the correspondence of Théodore de Bèze cites Reynier in its footnotes concerning Valier, but does not mention Briançon. Thus, it may be that Valier's origins at Briançon are now considered unsubstantiated. (However, the earliest author we could find who notes Valier's origins at Briançon is Abraham Ruchat, in his Histoire de la réformation de la Suisse, first edition of 1727-1728. Ruchat had access to documents and local knowledge that are now lost.) As a priest, Valier probably did not marry until after he arrived in Geneva. His testament mentions only one child, his son Jean Valier, bourgeois d'Aubonne. Jaques Valier would have been eligible for the privileges of citizenship at Aubonne as a result of his appointment to the ministry there in 1537, and that citizenship, formally granted in 1546, was inherited by his descendants.

Catherine Minck kindly photographed the testament for me at the Archives d'Etat de Genève. The script is clear for the period, and the notary even took care to show that his name is indeed spelled Ragueau:

While it is likely only a coincidence, there are other, slightly earlier mentions of a Jaques "Vallier" in the vicinity of Lausanne, in the person of a notary, Jaques Vallier, Vallerii, or similar, Châtelain de St. Prex, citoyen et bourgeois de Lausanne, whose notarial registers have survived (ACV Dg 269/1-2, dates 1495-1520). He died late in 1520 or a little later, and his registers were entrusted to the notary Pierre Deneschel, who worked at Dommartin and Lausanne about 1512-1529. In spite of being identified in transactions in which he functioned as the notary or commissaire as a citizen or bourgeois of Lausanne, we were unable to locate any mention of him in the lists of the bourgeoisie of Lausanne.

After he and Career summarized in Vuilleumier's Histoire de l'Eglise Réformée du Pays de Vaud, vol. 4, 738-739. After he and Viret were dismissed from Lausanne (1559), he briefly served as minister in Rouen before returning to Geneva, where he died.
