David Thomas Valentine was born in East Chester, Westchester County, New York. He was the second son of Daniel and Miriam (Fisher) Valentine, and a descendant of Benjamin Valentine of Holland, who settled near the town of Yonkers in 1679.
On his mother's side, he was descended from English stock which became established in America as early as 1611.
Valentine received his principal schooling in the Westchester Academy at White Plains.
In 1815, Valentine removed to New York City, where he found employment as a grocer's clerk. A few years later, he became a member of the national guard, and after passing through the lower ranks he declined to become major of the regiment in 1826, and definitely retired from military life. Meanwhile, he had acquired the friendship of persons prominent in municipal political affairs, and through their influence he became clerk of the marine court. He held his position from 1826 until 1830, when he was appointed deputy clerk of the common council.
In 1842, he became clerk of the council and chief of the legislative department and held the position without interruption until 1868, despite numerous political changes. In January 1868, however, he was superseded in office a circumstance which probably hastened his death. Pursuant to a legislative resolution, Valentine published in 1841 his first Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York, and thereafter he added a volume annually until 1867. These volumes, copiously illustrated, and containing a jumbled mass of historical and miscellaneous matter, became so popular that they were said to have become by 1869 "almost a necessity among New-Yorkers".
Had he not remained so absorbed in uncovering, compiling, and preserving local historical and antiquarian materials, he could probably have risen with ease to high official position.
