I, like Ernest, am looking in Frederick Co. MD, searching for a Valentine HUFF/Hoof/Huf/Phelty Hoof/Zelty Huf/Hoof, etc., who bought land in Funkville MD in 1771 from Jacob Funk. He is thought to be married to one of my KERST kin - Mary KERST- of Oley, Berks Co., PA. I found him in Rowan Co NC in 1776 having bought 320 acres of land from that had been owned by Squire Boone. He and Mary had 7 children: Valentine Jr., Jacob, Frederick, Elizabeth, Anna Rosannah, Esther and Mary. If anyone has knowledge of this line, I would sure appreciate some info!
