Events

• Biography: ANNA FOSDICK, the sixth child of Samuel
Fosdick third, was born in 1764, at Oyster Bay ; mar-
ried John Valentine, of Flushing, in Queens County,
and lived at Little Neck in that Town ; was a Quak-
eress. She was the only one of the children who did
not leave Long Island, and for that reason probably
did not have much intercourse with her brothers and
and sisters. Her niece, AngeUne, daughter of Solo-
mon, however recollected going with her little cousin
Fanny, daughter of Morris, with their parents, when
they lived at Eockaway, to visit her aunt Anna Valen-
tine, at Little Neck. It was on Sunday, and they met
her on her way to meeting. Her aunt gave her a
token on the occasion which is still preserved by her
daughter as a memento.

For some time before her death she resided vnth.
her youngest daughter in Flushing Village. She died
there on September 16, 1827.

Her children were: 1, MARY; 2, JAMES; 3,
SAMUEL ; 4, SUSAN ; 5, ELIZA ; 6, DEBOEAH
ANN ; and 7, SARAH PRUDENCE.
