His father may have been William Campbell but this is speculation. However, it is known that a William Campbell who was old enough to be his father lived near him and is listed in the tax lists and in the Census. On the 1870 Census Valentine mentions that his father was of foreign birth. Since the surname originates in Scotland, his father may have been born in Northern Ireland or Scotland. Valentine is a name that was used by Germans at that time and not very much by the Scots. Therefore, it is possible that his mother may have had ancestors from Germany.
Valentine married Charlotta Corbin around 1824 or 1825, likely in Hardy Co. No record has survived. It is important to note that during the time that Valentine lived in Hardy Co. the county was still part of Virginia. It became West Virginia in 1863.
Valentine was a farmer and was looking for new land. The family migrated to Franklin Co., Ohio about 1839 and to Brown Co., Indiana in the mid-1850s. He was the father of eight children: son 1820's (possibly Isaac 1827-1904), daughter 1820's, Joseph 1829, Reuben 1831, Rebecca A Kemp 1838, Elizabeth Fleener 1840, James V 1845 and Edward McDonald Campbell 1847.
He died in the 1870s. It is believed that he is buried in an unmarked grave next to his daughter, Elizabeth Campbell Fleener. In 1870 he was living with Elizabeth and her family. She lived one mile west of Needmore on what is now South Shore Drive. She is buried at the Brock Cemetery near Shuffle Creek and Lake Lemon in Monroe Co. Another possible burial place is Needmore Cemetery, Brown Co. although there is nothing specific to indicate that he is buried there. There are two Campbells buried there; it is unknown if they are related to Valentine.
Perhaps the Civil War file of his son will shed some light on this family.
