Valentine was the original progenitor of the Hunsicker family and resided in Skippack & Perkiomen Twps., Montg. Co., Pa. He married his first wife whose name is unknown. They had two children and she died in childbirth. Their children were Elizabeth and Samuel.

Valentine married secondly Elizabeth Kolb and had seven children: Jacob, Isaac, Sarah, Valentine (died young), Catherine, Abraham (died young), and Henry. I trace my lineage through three of their children, namely Isaac, Sarah and Henry.

Valentine's parents were Samuel Hunziker and Catherine Bar Klemmer.

Bishop Heinrich Funck and family came to America from Ibersheim in the Palatinate, leaving on March 21, 1717 and arrived in Philadelphia on August 10, 1717.
