Christ Church, Middlesex Co., VA, show both James Mayo, father of
Valentine, and Edmund Mickleborough, father of Anne, who married
Valentine in 1710. Valentine was killed in 1716, by Indians, according
to one source. The Inventory of Estate sale indicated that Valentine was a tailor and/or sailmaker.
