Bond Valentine was educated at West Chester, Pa., and studied law with Judge Darlington. He brought a certificate from Centre Mo. Mtg., 1, 8, 1824, and took one back, dated 10, 6, 1825. At Bellefonte, he rose to prominence at the bar and was elected to the legislature. Being a birthright member of the Society of Friends, he became, with advancing years, more convinced of their principles, and gave up a lucrative practice from conscientious scruples, after which he was an earnest minister in that Society. He was a member of the firm of Valentine and Thomas, having inherited the interest of his older brother, Jacob, who died unmarried. Smedley Family, p 304-305.
