Notes: THE VALENTINE FAMILY, of Westchester, from which most of this name in N. Y. City have sprung, has been quite misapprehended, as regards its common ancestor, who was not “Benjamin Valentine, a dragoon in the French military service, Canada,” as per Bolton, ii, 544; but Valentine Claessen aforesaid, who as a soldier gained his laurels under Stuyvesant, not in Canada, but in an expedition to Esopus in 1660. His sons took and retained the patronymic Valentine. He was from Saxenlant, in Transylvania; m. in 1662 Marritie Jacobs, from Beest, and before settling in Westchester co., lived some years in H., where his vrouw found people from her native place, the Kortrights and Buys brothers. Valentine Claessen is named as late as 1688. His chn., Jacob, b. 1663, living 1690; Matthys, b. 1665; John, b. 1671; Mary, b. 1674, are all of which we find notice. Matthys, living 1710, probably d. before May 3, 1724, when a division of land was made by John and Matthias Valentine, of Lower Yonkers, his sons, if we are not much mistaken. John was b. in 1691. Matthias was b. in 1693 – not ’98, as his chn.’s ages show – and d. in 1781, being the “first proprietor of Valentine's Hill, Yonkers,” as says Mr. Bolton; in whose work upon Westchester co., but more fully in the later History of the Valentine Family, may be found the several branches of the family tree, of which we have given the trunk. Valentine married Marritje Joosten Jacobs on 14 Apr 1662 in First Collegiate Church of Harlem, Manhattan, New York, New York, USA. Marritje was born in Abt. 1640 in Beesd, West Betuwe, Gelderland, Netherlands. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
