Looking for the wife of Joseph Valentine4 (Richard3, Richard2, Richard1) probably born at North Hempstead or Oyster Bay abt 1710-18, probably died Columbia Co., NY bef 1790, son of Richard Valentine and Mary Pearsall. He is confused with his son of the same name in "Valentines of America", by T. W. Valentine.
It appears that he must have been married by 1748. According to family records he had children: Samuel (of whom I have not been able to find anything); Joseph b 6 Jan 1750, m 1776 Esther Atherson, d 1814 Cambridge, Washington, NY; Richard bc 1754, m (1) Sylvesta Beebe (2) Abigail Lee, d 1825 Caanan, Columbia, NY; John resided Windham, Greene, NY; Stephen (youngest son) bc 1761, d 1808 Herkimer Co, NY; Betsey; Effanna; Phebe (possibly the one m Abraham Mudge, tho most researcher don't think so); & Nancy. (I have never been able fine anything on any of the daughter.)
