1. The Tibbits ms. (1910) traces
descendants of John's 1st son Christopher.
It also mentions a few descendants of John's 2nd son John Jr.
2. The Day-Minnich ms. (1930) lists Bible records from the family of John's 2nd son John Jr.
3. The D. W. LeValley letter (1910) traces a few descendants of John's 3rd son Peleg.
4. The Leslie LaValley charts
(1939/1992) trace other descendants of John's 3rd son Peleg.
They also trace one line descended from John's 4th son Cook.
5. The Church ms. (c.1916/1956) traces more descendants of John's 4th son Cook.
From his second marriage, John had two more sons. The first, a younger Christopher named after his recently deceased half-brother, died without children. No single document has been found on descendants of the youngest son, Gardner Thurston LeValley--who should not be confused with his grandnephew, S. Gardner LeValley.
Note--Any comments or corrections by me are in brackets. Three dots mean that additional details about a possibly living person have been left off this web page.

[Two of these documents were written
in 1910 at the request of Nancy LeValley Eichholtz. Eleanor LeValley
has both originals. I have the Tibbits ms. only in a laboriously
handwritten copy. I have learned to be suspicious of the middle initials
in this document, for A, B, and C seem to indicate generations. The
manuscript lists bits of information in no particular order.]
1. THE TIBBITS MANUSCRIPT
To Aunt Nan -- Cousin Douglas Tibbits --P.O. Box 60, Columbiaville, Mich. Dec. 24, 1910--
Aunt Marion is in very poor health and unable to reply -- So at her request - I will try to answer your questions as far as I am able.
[George Thomas LeValley's first wife] Esther Amsden's sister Laura - Married Wm. Childs - we think -
Cynthia Tibbits - sister of John R. S. Tibbits married Lyman Amsden - brother of Esther.
Christopher LeValley [son of John's 2nd son John Jr. He was a nephew of the Christopher mentioned everywhere else in this document.] - of Shelby Basin N.Y. was the father of the "Flint" [Michigan] line - His widow Lydia married a Mr. Bigford [Bickford].
Gardner LeValley's widow (Sarah) married a Mr. Brozee & had 2 sons - William & Andrew who would therefore be half brothers to Marrilla LeValley - who married Henry Keyes.
Great grandfather James B [?] LeV. had a sister named Eunice B [?] who married Mr. Thomas Madison [Matteson] - They had a son and a daugher named like their parents.
James B [?] also had a half sister, an old maid named Esther Tingley. Therefore the widow of Christopher A [?] LeV. of Warwick probably married a Tingley.
We are in doubt as to the names of James B [?] LeV. brothers, but think they were Monroe & George. [Wrong. They were George and yet another Christopher. Moreau--not Monroe--was George's son.]
Now - will you kindly answer a few
questions?
1--What LeValley
named his 3 sons like the vowels? Ara, Era, & Ira? [Answer:
Holden]
2--What relation
is Christopher of Shelby Basin to Christopher of Warwick? [Answer:
nephew]
John C. Cook [John Cook LeValley--the C is clearly a generation marker] - has been heard to speak of Uncle Holden [son of John's 2nd son John Jr.--and therefore the cousin, rather than brother, of John Cook LeValley's father James. The writer has already addressed his second cousin Nancy Eichholtz as Aunt] - This is about all I can tell you - If we hear of anything of interest will let you know - Hoping to hear from you soon & wishing you a Merry Christmas.

2. THE DAY-MINNICH MANUSCRIPT
[This appears to be the Bible record of John Jr. and his son Christopher. The amazing
thing about the document is that it did not come down through descendants, but passed
back and forth between very, very distantly related cousins who knew none of these
people. Warren Welch has the paper that Mary Lovell Minnich (a descendant of the
original Peter's son Michael) copied in 1930 from a document that had somehow fallen
into the hands of Mary LeValley Day (a descendant of the original Peter's son Peter).
My notations are in brackets.]

3. THE D. W. LEVALLEY LETTER
[D. Wilford LeValley and his wife were lawyers in Saginaw, Michigan. As a genealogical researcher, he published a chart of the British royal family.]
D. W. LEVALLEY
ATTORNEY AT LAW
SAGINAW, MICH......Oct. 31, 1910
Mrs. Nannie LeValley Eichholtz
725 Alvarado S.
Los Angeles, Cal.
Dear Madam:
Your letter of 24th inst. to my wife, asking information regarding my
branch
of the LeValley genealogy has been handed to me for reply. As you
trace back to Rhode Island, there can be little doubt but that we are
of
the same stock. Back to my great-great grandfather I can give
positive
information, from the army records in Washington, D. C., & personal
testimony (affidavit of my aunt [Esther LeValley Murray], now deceased
who knew him & was able to testify to all his descendants in my
chain
of ancestry.) The other information, that I venture to state, is
from family tradition. The Pension Department record at
Washington,
D. C., Old War & Navy Division, shows that Peleg LeValley (my
great-grandfather) served in the War of the American Revolution; that he
was born at Warwick, R. I. 1759. Entered military service
1776,
as Private, & served 3 months, in R. I. Militia. His captain,
Malachi Hammett, his Colonel was Potter.
Served again 1 month, Mar. 1777.
(Lieutenant Anthony Holden, Col. Lowe)
Served again 1 month, Oct. 1777.
(Capt. Thos. Rice, Col. Lowe)
Again 1 mo. (same officers) 1778.
Fall 1778, served 15 days. (Capt.
Miller).
Engaged in Battle of Newport Islands.
His residence at
enlistment, Warwick, R. I.
Applied for pension Oct. 3, 1832.
Then resided at
Summit, Schoharie Co. N. Y.
Age at date of application 73 yrs.
--------------------------------------------
Since obtaining
the foregoing information from the Coimmissioner of Pensions, I was in
Washington & there made copies which I have lost or mislaid,
but I found an affidavit by Cook LeValley, brother of Peleg.
but I have no other positive proof of other members of his family, nor
do I know the given name of his father.
The exact date
of his death is in the records, but I do not recall it. but I think
that he was 74 yrs old at death.
His wife's name
was Rebecca, but I am not sure whether it was Johnson [It was Northrup],
or whether her mother's name was Johnson, but think that I could find out.
--At any rate she was very proud of her Johnson blood, expecially because
her cousin, General Richard M. Johnson, killed the great Indian
Chief, Tecumseh. --The fact that Richard M. became Vice-President
of the U. S., was not of so much importance to her.
They had a daughter
Abigail, who married Patrick Conley, and went to Ashtabula, Ohio, a son,
Roderic, who moved to Sullivan Co. N. Y. bought 1000 acres of land &
built a saw mill, a son, Hiram, who settled in Delaware Co. N. Y., a daughter,
Polly, who remained at Summit, another daughter, Esther, married
Morgan Andrews, & John LeValley, remained at Summit, and another son,
James
LeValley, who was my grandfather.
James LeValley
was born N. Y., 1800. died in Missouri, 1871.
He married Elizabeth
Ostrander. They lived in N. Y. state until in old age they moved
with their two daughters & husbands to Missouri (about 1867).
They had children, as follows: Elnora, Victoria, Levi, Esther,
& Sarah and one other who died young. [He
inserted Elnora's name with a caret when he crossed out this phrase.]
Levi LeValley
(my father) was born in Schoharie Co. N. Y. July 16, 1827.
died at Vassar, Mich. Aug. 3, 1897.
He married Candis
C. Firmau Jan. 4, 1853. They had two sons. David
Wilford David Wilford LeValley, of Saginaw, Mich. born Dec. 7,
1854, at Boonville, Oneida Co. N. Y. and Dr. Frank Duane LeValley (now
of Vassar, Mich.) born Oct. 11, 1857, in Boonville, N. Y.
In addition to the
facts capable of absolute proof, I will relate the family record as handed
down to me by word of mouth, and family traditions. As I have been
told, the father [grandfather] of Peleg & Cook LeValley came from France,
--was a silk merchant, was robbed by pirates, --landed at Rhode Island.
--Afterwards returned to France, then again came to Rhode Island, went
into business there. --Married a Yankee wife woman
of American birth, probably of English ancestry. --had several children--some
became manufacturers. (Don't think this point regarding manufacturers
was in this family tradition, but from a source seeming probable
which makes it probable, information obtained about 1870.) [The LeValleys
at Ionia MI recorded that their ancestor John Jr. manufactured clocks.
Their version of the pirate story was also close to this one.] Some
conducted cotton mills in both R. I. & Connecticut.
[In the next generation]
The family were in some way related to the Cook Family. --And
the fact that one son was named Cook LeValley has led me to congecture
that the mother of Peleg LeValley & Cook LeValley was a Cook.
There was a family tradition that they were related to Captain Cook the
English navigator.
I had wondered if
this ancestor was a Huguenot, for all of my ancestors, so far as learned,
were Protestants; While most Frenchmen & all by the name of LaVallie
here in Saginaw, except myself, are Roman Catholics. Your letter
clears up that piont. You also give the date 1727 as the time when
he was there [Warwick RI]. You observe that Peleg LeValley was born
in 1759, as War Records show.
Any special information
respecting the ancestors prior to Peleg LeValley will be thankfully received.
--Would like to know the names of his father & mother in full if possible.
Warwick, R. I.
is surely the place where they lived in 1876 1776.
Very Truly,
D. W. LeValley

[The above two documents have been
typed faithfully. But the next two manuscripts are hand-drawn charts.
I hesitate to scan them in visually because:
a. They contain
too many inaccuracies that need commentary, and
b. They sometimes
reveal too much information about living persons.
So I have decided to type them, keeping
the order and notations as close as possible to the original manuscripts.]
4. LESLIE LAVALLEY CHARTS
[Around 1900, descendants of Peleg
LeValley's grandson David began spelling the family name LaValley or LaValle.
David's grandson Leslie included many family narratives in his local history
series, "The Basket Letters." But his charts show the relationships:
Page 1--Fragments of modern research
on Warwick RI--too garbled to post on the internet.
Page 2--Descendants of Peleg.
Page 3--Descendants of Peleg's grandson
David.
Page 4--A few descendants of Peleg's
brother Cook.
Page 5--Descendants of Cook's grandson
Leonard.
Note that an X after a name indicates
there were definitely no further descendants.]

5. THE CHURCH MANUSCRIPT
[Cook LeValley's great-granddaughter,
Mary LeValley Church dictated this information around 1916 to her son Herbert,
who drew it up in chart form 40 years later. There are three parts:
Part 1--Ancestors and descendants
of Cook's son James Nelson LeValley, with notes.
Part 2--Descendants of James Nelson's
son George Cook LeValley.
Part 3--Descendants of James McPique,
a Church ancestor (omitted here).
I have also omitted several obsolete
street addresses, but kept notations of cities. My copy has been
heavily updated by Herbert Church's cousin, Dorothy LeValley Otterson.
Where I can distinguish between the two sets of handwriting, and where
the added information does not infringe on living persons, I have put her
annotations in italics.]

NOTES
Note A: The story as I heard it from my mother: Traded estate in France for one or two vessels to trade with the American colonies. Encountered storms, dismasted, and foundered on Rhode Island shore. Traded hulls for Rhode Island land. The nurse who took care of my mother before her deaath was from the East, and her husband from a part of Rhode Island where Le or LaValley was a common name. His best man at the wedding was George LaValley. At one time I was associated with a LaValley from Wilkesbarre, Pa. [probably Daniel's family], but he knew nothing of his LaValley antecedents. Later the original or the next generation [actually the third] moved to the Mohawk Valley (Scoharie County) New York, a Huguenot settlement.
Note B: Cook LeValley enlisted on the last call for volunteers before the close of the Revolutionary War when sixteen years old, and served as a drummer boy for about six months. Some mention once that he either served in Massachussetts or with Massachusetts troops.
Note C: James Nelson LeValley moved to a day's wagon ride from Wilkesbarre, Pa., when his son George was ten years old.
Note D: George Slocum. "Should have been sent to the pen, but he is my sister's child and I can't do anything," said his uncle George Cook LeV. Brought family to Knox County, Illinois, ran off, wife pregnant and baby born in poor house.
Note E: Two of these boys deaf
and dumb. [Wrong. It was their brother William and their sister
Harriet, who married William Snyder and had four children.] George
C. attributed it to their father's life. [More likely, inbreeding
of cousins had something to do with it.]
