Robert Valentine, Pennsylvania Quaker minister, was born in Ballybrumhill, Ireland. His parents came to Pennsylvania in the late 1720s or early 1730s, settling in Chester and then Delaware Counties. In 1747 Robert Valentine married Rachel Edge (1725-1779). In 1764, the Concord Monthly Meeting recommended him for ministry. He was a well-known public figure who maintained contacts with many leading Quakers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ireland, and England. As a "public Friend," he traveled extensively, and in 1781-1784 journeyed to England and Ireland. He died in East Caln in 1786. The Valentines had ten children who married into Sharpless, Malin, Massey, and Ashbridge families.

Title: Papers of Robert Valentine, ca. 1712-1927 (bulk 1781-1786).

Correspondence and papers of Robert Valentine that cover chiefly his voyage to Great Britain and its aftermath. Included are his letters to his daughters (often both retained and sent copies) and letters from Friends in England, Ireland, and Pennsylvania. A significant number of the letters was written by women Quakers. The collection also includes an account of Robert Valentine's journey to New Jersey in 1775 and other Quaker travel accounts. Also included are minutes and correspondence of various meetings in Pennsylvania, England, and Ireland, including London Yearly Meeting of Women Friends, personal testimonies of individual Quakers recounting their visions and prophesies, devotional treatises and poems. There are also a few items relating to the relations between Quakers communities and Indians, including the minutes of a meeting between a group of Philadelphia Quakers headed by Israel Pemberton and representatives of the Six Nations (1756) and a few pieces of correspondence between women Friends of Philadelphia and Oneida Indian women (1796-1797). There is also a copy of the congratulatory address from London Yearly Meeting to George III on the occasion of the end of the Seven Years War (1763). The collection also includes a smaller group of correspondence of Robert Valentine's daughter Rachel Valentin Malin and his granddaughter Rachel Valentine Sharpless Ashbridge. The latter group consists chiefly of the letters to her from her father, a Pennsylvania ironmaster Abraham Sharpless written between 1824 and 1834. Also included are a few pieces of later family correspondence.
