If anyone has Valiant's that passed through any of these states, I would enjoy hearing from them.

The father in this case was Henry Valiant (b. in NY) that married a Sophia Dittmore or Dypper of Bellevue, MI (depending on which child's death certificate you read). A couple of the known children are Alice M and Fred. There was also a "Myrtie," but I don't have any further information on her.
