Note

Valentine Overturf was born in Wurttemberg, which is located in the Black Forest in southwes t Germany. In the 1600's this region was hit hard by religious wars and by such epidemics a s typhoid and the plague. By the early 1700's, economic privation, high taxes, and simmerin g religious tensions inspired thousands from the Black Forest to emigrate to America.

Valentine arrived at the Port of Philadelphia on September 24, 1753, on the ship Neptune. H e signed an Oath of Allegiance, which indicates he was at least 16 years old. He lived in Yor k County, Pennsylvania, from about 1762 to 1780. By 1785, he was in Fayette County. Shortly b efore his death, he joined son Conrad in Bracken County, Kentucky. He is buried there on th e family farm.

The maiden name of Agnes Elizabeth Overturf is unknown. She and Valentine had seven children : Johannes (1760), Martin (1762), Catherine (1766), Anna Marie (1768), Simon and Samuel (1771 ), and Conrad (1774).
