I keep finding references online to a book called "The Valentines in America" so I looked for it and found an online copy. It's very old and I thought some here might be interested as it has some interesting information about the origins of the surname Valentine.

You can find it here - scroll down and click on the title:

In particular, read Chapter 1 - The Name of Valentine. It's in
PDF format and each page is a separate scan. Enjoy!
