Birth*

24 December 1718

Sieur Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt was born on 24 December 1718 at Paris, France.²

Baptism

25 December 1718

He was baptized on 25 December 1718 at St. Eustache Parish, Paris, France.²

He was the son of Jean Baptiste Gallopin and Anne Marie Madeleine Bonnet.²

MARRIAGE*

before 1760

He married Catherine Marguerite Francfort before 1760.²

Death*

circa 1798

He died circa 1798 at Paris, France, Parish Archives Reference ET/XVII/1089: May 28th, 1799, three of Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt's children ---Adelaide, Angelique Sophie, and Alexandre --- and one sister, Adelaide Theodora, are selling two houses, one on the rue Montmartre and on the rue Ponceau, that they have inherited from their father. The rue Monmartre house had been inherited by Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt from his parents, Jean Baptiste Galopin and Anne Bonnet. (I do not have a copy; this is edited transcript.)

Jean Baptiste DeValcourt would be about eighty years old when he died meaning that he probably was not at Versailles when the Bastille was stormed in 1789 or when the monarchy was abolished in 1792, but it's likely he witnessed the "reign of terror" and the execution of the king and queen because these events took place in Paris.³

Occupation

He was Comptroller of La Sainte Chappelle at Paris, France.²

Occupation*

He was Procureur, La Chambre des Comptes at Paris, France.²

Note*

He In 1978 there was a letter from an Alexandre Joseph DeValcourt, G. H. G. Norman, to another cousin in which, among other things, he pointed out that the most of the de Valcourt papers, including the original patent of nobility and gone from François Alexandre to son, Alexandre Joseph, then to his son Edouard (1860-1947), then to Edouard's eldest daughter, Simone (1896-1986), wife of Georges Jouasset. And from Simone, the documents went to her son, Daniel Jouasset (1918 - ), who in 1978 was living 16 Chemin de Prunay, 78340 Louveciennes, France, but in poor health. Since in 2006 it is unlikely he is still alive, the papers probably went to daughter Muriel Jouasset (1950- ) who married Jean-Jaques Schulberger in about 1970.
I once saw, at a DeValcourt reunion in the nineties, what was purported to be a copy of the original patent of nobility but the holder was reluctant to have a copy made. For someone who is interested in having a copy of the original, it would be worthwhile to try and contact the Jouassets or Schulbergers in France.
In case you don't already have it, attached is a copy of the marriage record of our common ancestors --- François Alexandre and Margaret Gold DeValcourt. Have copies of the orignal entries in the baptism register of St. Peter's for all their children save Caroline, born 4 May 1801 in Paris. Her baptism record may be in the archives for St. Eustache Parish there.

27 November 1737

He was Jean Baptiste Gallopin (DeValcourt) assumed the position his father had held preiviously. He served under the reign of Louis XV who granted him nobility in 1770 just four years before Louis XV died. We assume that Jean Gollopin DeValcourt continued in his position during the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. on 27 November 1737.

Name Variation

1746

As of 1746, Sieur Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt was also known as Jean Baptiste Bernard Galopin Paris Archives Reference 01 901532: Letters allowing Jean Baptiste Bernard Galopin to change his hame to Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt. March 1746.
He was born with the name Galopin, but changed it to DeValcourt after petitioning the king and being granted approval. Probably his ancestors had a connection with an area east of Paris called Valcourt.²

He lived on 12 April 1765 at rue Tiquetonne, Paris, France.²

NOBILITY*

November 1770

He wasconfirmed to nobility Paris Archives Reference 01 11611163: At Versailles in November of 1770, Nobleness was given by Louis XV to Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt and to all his descendants. Apparently, it took a number of years for the paper work to get processed.
Excerpts from a letter from Daniel Jousaset, great-great-grandson of Alexandre Joseph de Valcourt:
By letter dated November 1770, 57^th year of Louis XV’s reign, the King grants nobility to Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt..
These patent letters, signed by Louis XV in 1770, show registration by the “Chambre des Comptes” on May 20^th 1772 and by the “Cour des Aides” on Feb. 26^th .... 1777!
In the meantime, we find two receipt dated April 14^th 1772 and May 9^th1772, for 2.000 and 6.000 “livres” (pounds of the time) expressly referring to the above patent letters.
What is the reason for the new patent letters, identical to those of 1770, signed Louis XV and dated August 1772? Probably by the fact things had remained pending since the registration of the “Chambre des Comptes” in May 1772.
These did not have ... effect either, since there is a letter dated March 3^rd 1775, signed Louis XVI, on desiring the Parliament to register them. On March 21^st, 1775, this registration is requested from the members of the Parliament by a letter of Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt.
The patent letter of March 3^rd 1775 is handed over at the same date to the “Prosecutor General of the King”, who orders an inquest on the applicant. Witnesses designated for this inquest give a favorable advice on April 1^st 1775.
Two documents, not dated but coming after this inquest again request registration of the patent letters of 1772 --- yet another letter, dated March 27^th 1776 and signed by Louis XVI firmly orders to the “Cour des Aides” to proceed with registration.
Is that the end of it? Not yet! Another letter of Louis XVI, dated 10^th (or 6^th) of January 1777 orders again to the “Cour des Aides” to register the patent letters of ...1770… And here it goes:... Feb, 21^st 1777 and leads to the registration by the “Cour des Aides” on Feb 26^th on the patent letters of 1770.
The original order was issued by Louis XV and it was his successor Louis XVI who finalized the order seven years later.
in November 1770.

Misc*

1771

In 1771 The following inscription was written by SLB on the back of photo of Madame de Valcourt:
This is a photograph of a picture of Martha deValcourt, wife of Sire Jean Baptiste Bernard de Valcourt, enobled in 1771 by Louis XV, King of France, who conferred on him and his descendants the Degree of Chevalier,
"For good conduct, intelligence, sense of justice and activity." as a solicitor in the Royal Treasury during thirty-three years of service.
SLB then goes on to name the descendants in his family and state: "The original picture, painted 1770-1780 is still in the original gold frame in which it was brought from France." The original was located in 2010 in California in the possession of Kate Stamps. she offered to sell it to me, but the price of $8,000. seemed a bit high so I declined. MVW

A new patent letter, identical to the one of 1770, is signed by Louis XV and dated August 1772.

Evidentally his family name was Galopin and he petioned the king for a name change about the time he was granted nobility. My guess is that the name means something like "of the good heart" and was an honorific.
