This is a real puzzle. I'm wondering why nobody has pointed out that Christian WAGNER, b. 1768, would not be likely to have married and had a child in 1784 at age 16.

I am a descendant of Johann Georg Valentine and have quite a bit of information that I have gathered.....mainly through one 1874 family letter from Rev. Milton Valentine who says this:
... published in Valentines of America: “Though the precise date of his immigaration cannot be fixed, circumstances seem to connect it with the time of the bitter sufferings of the Protestants of Germany, in connection with The War of the Spanish Succession. Circumstances likewise point to his first settlement, or at least residence, in New York, Delaware or Eastern Pennnsylvania, as traditions in the family represent that the captains of the emigrant ships were required to report their immigrants, and these had to go to Philadelphia to take the oath of allegiance. “ Letter of Milton Valentine dated 18 Mar 1874.
and through Ancestry.com where I found this:Georg Valentine , Joh., (Valentin) was born 1715 in Mutterstadt über Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Pfalz, Germany, and died DEC 1783 in Frederick County, Maryland. He was buried DEC 1783 in Valentine Family Cemetery, near Miller's Bridge, Frederick County, Maryland. He married Anna Margaretha MATHIAS, daughter of Hans Jacob MATHIAS and Maria Margaretha JUNG. She was born 11 JUN 1734, and died AFT 1790. She was buried AFT 1790.

Rotterdam, but last from Plymouth, England, Master James Abercrombie with a shipment of 111 persons, 400 Palatinates.

Just had a Valentine Reunion last week end.There is a current genelogy book done very well by Paul Valentine of Ohio, he past this past fall. Conversion was had by some on the continuation of such look forward to here from you

I am very interested on how to obtain Paul Valentine's family history. I would like to know more about the Ohio familes of Grooms, Stouts and Valentines, especially of John Valentine b 1780 Frederick Co., Maryland & died 7 April 1845 Pickaway Co., OH-daughter Sarah Ann b 28 Oct 1823 in Fairfield Co., OH & died before 1900 Edgar Co., IL she married Elias Stout 1841 Circleville, Pickaway Co., OH, son of John Stout and Ana Meyer, he died in Edgar Co ?. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm curious to know whether you might live in OH. If so, we might be able to meet in person. I have Valentine & Stout ancestors.

First of all, you stated that John Valentine, b. 1780 in MD had a daughter Sarah Ann, b. 1823 Fairfield Co., OH, and that she married Elias Stout. My records show that John Valentine had three wives: Margaret Ziegler, Mary/Nancy McCreary, and Elizabeth Bowers. And my file does not show a daughter named Sarah Ann for any of these wives. But, much of what I have on this branch of the Valentine family hasn't been proven yet, so more research is needed.

I also have in my files an Elias Stout, born 1821 Pickaway Co., OH, s/o John Stout & Anna Meyer. However, my research has go far enough to locate a wife for Elias yet. I guess I need to go a bit further on this family and start looking at census records, etc.

Your John Valentine, b. 1780 MD, was the son of Jacob Valentine, b. 1753 Frederick Co., MD, and his wife Anna Mary Freeze. (The original spelling of that family name was "Friess.") At least four of their children ended up in Pickaway Co., OH.

As for Paul Valentine's family history book on the Valentine family, he passed away, last year I believe. The address he had at the time I purchased his book was: 59 Little Glen Rd., Pittsford, NY 14534-2619. You might try sending a letter to Mrs. Paul Valentine at that address on the chance that he had a surviving widow, and on the chance that she might still have some of his books left to sell. I will warn you, though, that it is not an easy book to navigate, and as with many family history books, it does have some errors in it.
