It is said that Joseph last name was not Valley, but that he had
killed a man in Byng Inlet near Parry Sound, Ontario and fled to
Michigan to escape being jailed. He then changed his name from
Gereau/Giroux/Gerow/Geroux/Gero; or some form of the name.
the 1910 census that Joseph age 40; first appears on in Mackinaw Co.
gives his wife as Mary B...........age 38; mar. 20 yrs. (abt. 1890);
7 children born to mother, 7 children living. The 1920 census gives
his wife as Agnes; age 48 and now Joseph is only age 38 yrs.

Joseph married BOUCHER Agnes about 1890. Agnes (daughter of BOUCHER Toussoint and LAFRENIERE Josette) was born on 23 Jan 1873 in Penetanguishene, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada; died in 1930. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The baptismal record for Agnes' son Edmund or Edward is recorded at
Penetanguishene. The original document seems to have been altered,
but hard to tell on photocopy without seeing oringinal document. It
appears to have been first written as Edward Bergeron, son of
Alexander Bergeron and Agnes Boucher. Then, after the name Bergeron
and slightly above and to the right is the name Vallee. Also below
the line is added Edmund Vallee and where the word Vallee appears
this time is just past the fathers name and almost gives the
impression that HE is the Bergeron/Vallee; but I am more inclined to
think that it is meant to say that Edward is also known as EDMUND
VALLEE. It seems awfully coincidental to me that BOTH Edward Bergeron
(Vallee) and our Edmund Vallee were born on the same day and both had
mother's named Agnes Boucher.
Bap. record at Penetang. for Agnes Boucher; bn. 23 Jan. 1873;
sponcered by Alesir?/ Alexir? Cadat and Marie Lafreniere
bap. 9 Mar. 1873
On the 1910 census for Michigan in Clark Township; Cedarville,
Mackinaw Co., Mi.; Agnes appears as wife of Joseph Vallee using the
name of Mary B. (perhaps she was Mary Agnes Boucher?) or does the "B"
stand for Bergeron?
It says Joseph born in Michigan and only child Edward and Mary B. bn.
Canada-French and also says that both Mary B. (Agnes) and Edward came
to this country in 1898. That's 2 years before Joseph claims to have
come with his family in June of 1900.

Notes:

The name of Joseph's parents as given by himself on his marriage
licence to Charlotte (Watchorn) Chedister were Jacob Vallee and
Delfie La Vallier. On Joseph's Social Security Records he lists his
parents as Jacob Vallie and Delphine Vallie.
