DUTOIT: A Family from Moudon, Switzerland
Jeanne VALIER (ID #I7912)
(female)
Father: Pierre VALIER (b. bef 1573, d. aft 1636)
Mother: Louise JAILLET (b. bef 1575, d. aft 1645)
Family 1
:
Benjamin FAVRE (b. BEF 1601)
- +Susanne FAVRE (d. AFT 1671)
- Theodore FAVRE (b. BEF 1630)
- +Benjamin FAVRE (dates unknown)
- Marguerite FAVRE (dates unknown)
- Jaques Aimé FAVRE (d. 1692)
- Pernette FAVRE (dates unknown)
A possible parentage listed in secondary sources: daughter of late Louis Valier of Aubonne, married Claude D'Amaron 17 apr 1615 (date of contract, Claude Mayor, notary). IGI has this marriage 12 jul 1612 at Vufflens-le-Chateau (=Denens). This parentage is ruled out by the discovery that the widow of Claude D'Amaron remarried and moved to Lausanne. That leaves, as far as we know, only Pierre Valier, brother of Louis, as a possible father of the Jeanne Valier who married Benjamin Favre. The heirs of the third brother, Benjamin, seem firmly established and do not include a Jeanne.
First mention is with her husband at the baptism of their first known child Susanne, at St. Livres 29 sep 1626. Her parentage has not been proved. However, there appear to be only three possible fathers: Benjamin, Pierre, and Louis, sons of Jean Valier son of the minister Jaques Valier. Benjamin's estate went to his son Imbert and his daughter Antheine, wife of Benjamin Bégoz; there do not seem to have been any other children who survived. Louis left several sons and a daughter Jeanne who married first Claude d'Amaron and second Louis Domenjoz. Unless Louis had two daughters named Jeanne, he, too, can be ruled out as the father of the present Jeanne. That leaves Pierre Valier as the likely father of Jeanne Valier. The connection is perhaps even more likely because Pierre was Châtelain de Gimel, and Benjamin Favre's family had extensive property and prestige at Gimel.
Nothing significant has yet surfaced regarding the estate of Pierre Valier. It seems very likely, however, he would have given his daughters property as part of their dowries, so it is possible that something will be found in the terriers. For the moment, as there do not seem to be any other possibilities, and we show Jeanne as the daughter of Pierre Valier.

Louis VALIER (ID #I26658)
(male)
- BIRTH: bef 1566

Mother: Pernette COLLAT (d. aft 1583)

- +Jaques VALIER (b. aft 1598)
- Jean Jaques VALIER (b. aft 1598)
- +Nicolas VALIER (b. aft 1598, d. bef 1638)
Birthdate estimated from mention in 1591 as (adult?) neighbor of Benjamin Valier in documents of Claude Mayor, notary, and identified as Benjamin's brother in a document of 1598. His wife was apparently Françoise Rebut, but there is at least one record (1615) that calls her Françoise Robert. An accident of the old script could easily cause this transformation, but there was a Robert family (alias Gadel) at nearby Féchy.
Further, the known children include five sons who were all minors in 1612 and 1623 (thus, the youngest of these presumably born no earlier than about 1607), plus a daughter Jeanne who was married in 1612, and a daughter Judith. It is possible these are all children of the same mother, but no document has surfaced that either states or implies this. There may have been other children.
However, since he already had a daughter Jeanne who married first Claude d'Amaron and then Louis Demenjoz, he is apparently not the father of the Jeanne Valier who married Benjamin Favre.

A death record that could be hers is recorded at Mollens: "La veuve de feu le Sieur Lieutenant Mayor est morte le 19e 8bre [1738] agée de 83 ans" (ACV Eb 16/6 p. 24). If so, her age is in error—as are most ages recorded at this period—, but more study is needed to be sure.

- +Jeanne VALIER (dates unknown)
- +Estienne Vincent VALIER (d. bef 1660)
Birthdate estimated from mention as (adult?) brother of Benjamin Valier in 1598, in a document of Claude Mayor, notary. Also, he was apparently under the age of majority in 1594, when his brother Louis contracted an apprenticeship for him with Isaac Gradelle, cordonnier of Geneva (AEG Notaire Etienne DeMonthouz, vol. 11, fols. 99v-100, 25 may 1594). (Note, however, that the 1598 citation is ambiguous on the point of whether he had reached the age of majority, and that placement as an apprentice might be expected at the age of perhaps 14 or so. In that case, we would have to place his date of birth possibly as late as the early 1580's.) His marriage is found at Gimel (or perhaps one of its annexes, the registers at this point do not indicate clearly at which church the marriage took place). He is believed to be the one who was Secrétaire de la Baronnie d'Aubonne etc. While some accounts show a daughter Estiennaz marrying Gabriel Bégoz, Pierre and Louise seem much too old for Estiennaz to be their daughter. The Valier genealogy (Olivier Dessemontet, 1970) identifies Estiennaz as the daughter of Pierre's son Pierre.
The same problem affects the Jaques Valier who must be the brother of Estiennaz. Both of them would seem to have been born around 1630, and therefore they could not possibly be the children of Louise Jaillet, who was already a widow when she married (the elder?) Pierre Valier in 1603. Louise was first married in 1590, and even if she was then a child bride (age 15), her child-bearing years would have come to an end not later than 1620, while the spouses of her supposed children were born after 1630.
Therefore, we have attached both Estiennaz and Jaques to the Pierre Valier who married Françoise Tripod, in spite of what we see in other compiled genealogies, which make them children of Louise Jaillet. The carefully researched Valier genealogy of Olivier Dessemontet (1970, at the Archives Cantonales Vaudoises) agrees with our conclusions and presents many lines of evidence from sources not previously available to us, such as the terriers of Aubonne.
We have found nothing to suggest that the known children were Pierre's only heirs. Perhaps he was also the father of the Jeanne Valier who married Benjamin Favre before 1626. If the surviving records can be taken at face value, both of Pierre's known brothers can be ruled out as the possible father of Jeanne, and so we have assigned her as another of Pierre's children.
While the baptisms of his children have not been found, he and his wife appeared as sponsors for a baptism at St. Livres, 28 aug 1614.
He made a "reconnaissance" 10 feb 1625 (ACV Fh 176bis, fol. 622) indicating that he had obtained some property from the estate of his brother Benjamin Valier. Further, Pierre is identified in this document as "bourgeois et conseiller de la ville d'Aulbonne et Chastellain de Gymel".
The apprenticeship of 1594 does not mention either of his parents, nor any other guardian. The implication is that both parents were deceased, and that his brother Louis was acting for him:

Pierre VALIER (ID #I27015)
(male)
- TITLES/'DIT' NAMES/OCCUPATIONS: Egrège
- BIRTH: bef 1607
- DEATH: aft 1656
Family 1
:
Françoise TRIPOD (b. aft 1609, d. aft 1671)
- Marie VALIER (bp. 26 JAN 1647)
There were two persons named Pierre Valier, father and son, both serving various high offices at Aubonne, during the first half of the 17th Century. The first mention in the parish registers notes Pierre Valier Lt. of Aubonne and his wife (not named) (1629). These references continue for several years. Since the name of the mother is not given in the earliest baptismal records, it is possible that some of the early children listed here actually belong to a different Pierre, the father or uncle of the one who married Françoise Tripod.
Another possibility is that there was one notable Pierre Valier at this period, who married first Louise Jaillet, widow of Urbain de la Foge, and then, probably about 1630, Françoise Tripod. The second marriage, which has not been found, would probably have been celebrated at St. Livres, ancestral village of the Tripod family, where the surviving marriage records do not begin until 1640, or at Morges, where the records seem incomplete.
A mention of Egrège Pierre Vallier "le jeune" at Perroy in 1630, at the baptism of Pierre son of Egrège Reimond Favre, suggests that the first Pierre, if from a prior generation, would have been active about 1600, and that the children attributed here to Françoise Tripod belong to Pierre the younger. This record also suggests that references to Egrège Pierre Valier at this time refer to the younger man, also Secrétaire de la Baronnie d'Aubonne, and therefore, that the mentions of Pierre Valier Conseiller and Lieutenant d'Aubonne must refer to Pierre the elder. But which one was the husband of Françoise Tripod? So far, the only sensible conclusion is that her husband was Pierre the younger. This conclusion is supported by the Valier genealogy (Olivier Dessemontet, 1970).
Pierre the notary, apparently the younger, was Châtelain de Lavigny in January 1632. By September, Noble Claude de Montricher, Secrétaire de la Baronnie d'Aubonne, had died, and by October, Pierre Valier had succeeded him.
A possible connection involving Jean Conod and Pierre Valier is the following: Jean Conod was the son of François Conod (d. bef. 1593) and Rose Tripod. Our Pierre Valier married Françoise Tripod in the next generation. What is the relationship of Françoise to Rose and Gabriel Tripod?
