Élie Valois or Levalois and his wife Judith or Julie Merlet lived in Juicq (where their son Jacques was born about 1669) and then Matha, both small towns near La Rochelle; and evidently they were Huguenots, married in a Calvinist chapel in 1668. Matha is on the Île d'Oléron (above).

Jacques Valois dit Grandcamp (c1669-1750) was in Canada by 1694, when he married Marie-Jeanne Couillard. They lived at Champlain, and had three children: Louis, married Marie Jeanne Aubuchon; Pierre, married Marie-Clémence Girard; and Pierre-Simon, married Marie Roy. After Marie-Jeanne died (1704) Jacques married Marguérite Carpentier on May 26, 1706 at Champlain. By the 1730s they were living in L'Île-Dupas. Their children: Antoine-Régis (married Marie-Thérèse Cailla); Charlotte (married Jean-Baptiste Joly); Jacques (married Marie-Angélique Bérard); Jean (married Geneviève Dandonneau); Joseph-Marie (married Marie-Louise Bérard); Marie-Josèphe (married Marc-Antoine Plante); and Marie-Madeleine (1713-1783, married Daniel Gouin).

Jacques and Marie-Angélique Valois were the parents of Louis (married Geneviève Martin in 1785); and Marie-Angélique (married François-Regis Parenteau in about 1795). See Parenteau for descendants.
