From the History of Pickaway County, Ohio, page 571:
"EDWARD VALENTINE, one of the best known citizens of Pickaway County, prominently connected with stock interests and known all over as owner of the noted horse, 'Maggie V,' resides on what is known as the 'Maggie V. Stock Farm,' which is a tract of 180 acres, situated in section 20, Circleville Township. Mr. Valentine belongs to one of the old families of the county and was born at Circleville, Ohio, April 12, 1861, being a son of Israel and Catherine (Stout) Valentine. The Valentine Family is of German extraction and the grandparents of Mr. Valentine were the founders of the family in Ohio, coming here from Baltimore, Maryland. As early as 1800 the grandfather, John Valentine, traveled over a large part of the State on horse-back and finally selected a tract in Circleville Township, Pickaway County, which he purchased from his father-in-law, Jacob Zeiger, a still earlier settler. Israel Valentine, son of John and father of Edward, was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, January 26, 1819. He remained at home with his father until the age of 22 years and then started out for himself, purchasing 83 acres in Circleville Township. In 1841 he married Caroline Stout, a daughter of John Stout, of Pennsylvania. Later Mr. Valentine added 86 acres and still later bought the old Stout farm of 200 acres in Washington Township. Other property that he subsequently bought consisted of the Market Farm of 105 acres, in Circleville Township; the old Zearingfarm of 80 acres in Fairfield County, and the old Tobey Farm of 200 acres, in Washington Township. At one time, he owned 760 acres of valuable land, the greater part of it being subsequently given to his sons. Israel Valentine died in November, 1903, his wife having passed away in 1887. They had reared a family of 11 children, viz.: William, Lydia A., Lizzie, John, George, James, Mary, Emanuel, Sarah E., and Edward and Israel S. (twins). Edward Valentine was reared in Circleville Township and attended the local school. He has always made his home in this locality. In addition to his homestead, he owns a farm of 103 acres in Washington Township, which is occupied by a tenant. The Circleville Township farm is owned jointly by himself and wife. In association with his twin brother, Israel S. Valentine, our subject has been identified with the breeding of race horses for some years. At the present time, they own a string of 10 head, among them being the beautiful mare, 'Maggie V,' which has a record of 2:12 1/2. This valuable mare is well-known and appreciated in racing circles and when it took the prize of $2,000 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, taking the second heat in 2:12 1/2 and also winning the third and fourth heats, beating the great race horse, 'Klondike,' for the first time in the latter's racing life, immense sums were offered the Valentine Brothers for the little beauty. They value it too highly, however, to be induced to part with it and there is every expectation that 'Maggie V.' will lower her already remarkable record. On October 28, 1886, Mr. Valentine was married to Maggie D. Walters, who is a daughter of John J. and Mary (Dresbach) Walters. They have one son, John Walters, who was born August 24, 1887. Mr. Valentine is a member of the township School Board. He belongs to the Knights of Pythias."
