Early Origins of the Vallette familyThe surname Vallette was first found in Somerset where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held lands.

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Vallettes to arrive on North American shores:
Vallette Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- Elie Vallette, who settled in Maryland in 1764
Vallette Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- Migl Vallette, aged 29, who arrived in New Orleans, La in 1831 2
- W Vallette, who landed in San Francisco, California in 1851 2
