Anne, My father had a good friend in Missouri with the last name Jobe. I don't know if they have done any research, but there is a family of them around Green City. You might want to check census records, etc. in Sullivan and Putnam Counties for the name. It can't hurt!

Thank you Martha, All advice is appreciated and I will check the records you suggest. No it cant hurt any more than the pain in the 'proverbial' this elusive branch has caused me so far!
