He is the son of George and Christina (Crowbarger) Pence. The father was a native of Virginia, where he died in 1825. The mother was a native of Pennsylvania. She moved to Clinton Co., Ind., in 1836, where she died two years later. Valentine went to Indiana with his mother, and stayed with her until the spring of 1838, when he came to Clark County and commenced laboring as a millwright with his brother and Samuel Sprinkle, and continuing in this business for twelve years. He was married Oct. 4, 1842, to Catharine F., daughter of George and Catharine (Fair) Stafl'ord, who were both natives of Ireland. Mr. Pence bought his present farm in Section 26, of Samuel Arnold, Aug. 16, 1845, since which time he has devoted his attention principally to farming. By his marriage with Miss Stafl'ord he became father of two children—Caroline Elizabeth, born May 28, 1844, and Margaret Almira, born May 4, 1847. Caroline was married Nov. 6, 1872, by Rev. J. G. Black, to Thomas Swanger. Margaret was married Dec. 13, 1867, by Rev. L. G. Edgar, to Antony Stafford. Mr. Pence and wife are both energetic members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which they have zealously labored for some time. Mr. P. was raised a Democrat, but has always voted the Whig and Republican ticket. He has served as Township Trustee for two terms with great credit to himself and constituents.

doned. One day, northeast of this point, he was surprised to discover a large band of Indians camped on a stream, and he was compelled to hide from them some days in the hazel bush. He named this stream “Indian Creek.” A little later, fur- ther east, he cut a bee-tree, and contrary to his desire, it fell across another stream, and this in consequence he called Honey Creek.

These pioneers were not simply tillers of the soil, they were men of enterprise to a degree that sems wondrful to the present gneration. There was in Pike Township on Honey Creek the Deaton sawmill on Section 35, the Sterrett sawmill, gristmill and distillery on Section 34, the Sprinkle sawmill on Section 33, the Pence sawmill on Section 31, or seven manufacturing concerns within a distance of four miles. https://archive.org/stream/historyofmiamico21ster/historyofmiamico2...
