Valentine, Robert, 1717-1786
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.
