The Register zu den Evangelish-Lutherischen Kirchenbuchern Der Pfarri Thaleishweiler 1720-1798 FHL Film # 193184 mentions the birth of Johann Velten’s daughter Anna Magdalena along with a note that the family moved to America. No date is given for the note. Nothing else is known about his life in Froeschen (which today is called Thaleishweiler-Froeschen in the Südwestpfalz district, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany)

MARRIAGE:
Anna Kunigunde Unknown by 1727. Based on birth of first known child.

CHURCH:
Valentine was a member of the St Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church or "Old Straw Church" in Greenwich. This Lutheran Church was erected by 1762. It was constructed of logs, about 30' by 40' with a thatched roof made of straw, hence the name. It was enlarged and rebuilt in 1790 with stone, but it was still referred to as the Old Straw Church. (citation: The Early Germans of New Jersey, Their History, Churches and Genealogies" by Theodore Frelinghuysen Chambers publication date unknown p625)

Records of the St Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church (Communion Records of St. James Lutheran ("Straw") Church Greenwich, Warren County, NJ 1770-1773 from the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey Volume VIII, 1932-33 as appears at http://www.raub-and-more.com/straw/strawcommunion1.html) show that Valentin Schultz took communion on the following dates:

A list of names signed to the "articles of faith and order" in 1772 at the Old Straw Church includes Peter Schaultz. (citation: The Early Germans of New Jersey, Their History, Churches and Genealogies" by Theodore Frelinghuysen Chambers publication date unknown p626)

NOTES: I have seen an online tree showing the father of Johann Velten to be Ferdinandus Schulte baptized 5 Dec 1677 in a catholic church in Coesfeld. Coesfeld is about 250 miles from Froeschen. Our ancestor was a member of the Evangelich Church, not Catholic. This identification without evidence seems highly doubtful.
However, there is a different Ferdinandus Schultz who had baptized Johann Valentin Schultz on 10 Oct 1706 in the Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche, Dackenheim, Bayern, Germany. Dackenheim is about 50 miles from Froeschen. That is not outside the realm of possibility, but we have no corroborating evidence that this is the same person. The record can be found at familysearch.org.
