Born in Berwick upon Tweed, reputedly the illegitimate son of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon. BA Christ’s College, Cambridge 1589, fellow of St John’s 1591, MA 1592, moved back to Christ’s 1597, where he proceeded BD 1599.

The remainder of his books (not quantified) were left to Ernestus Carey, great grandson of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon. Valentine seems to have adopted Ernestus, who was five at the time of his death, and as well as leaving him books he entrusted his care and education to his wife. Carey also left £50 to St John’s College, Cambridge, for the purchase of books (this was principally spent on legal texts).
