    3. LOL--how about that!! Do we know how much is actually true? Patti Jobe RATTLESNAKE GOSPEL fer JACOB JOB Way down in the State of Old Kentuck, The hardest place that e'er was struck, There lived a man named Jacob Job, The meanest on this mundane globe. He cared not for God or man, Except his wild and wicked clan. He had six boys, both big and bad, Who followed right behind their dad. They drank that Wildcat Whiskey down, And painted red the country town. He had six daughters, buxom gals, Who danced and capered with their pals. They laughed and frolicked o'er the hills And, sometimes, tippled at the stills. Then, one day an awful rattlesnake Bit the oldest boy, Big Wicked Jake. And through his veins the poison flew; "He's going to die, what can we do?" They sent a runner to the town To fetch in haste, old Parson Brown; A Dutchman of John Wesley's band, As fine as any in the land. He prayed a curious, wondrous prayer, With words of faith and wisdon rare. Whether in heaven it reached or not, On earth it surely hit the spot. Oh Gott, we thank Thee for dis snake. that thou has sent to bite old Jake. To fetch him down from his high hoss, and lead him to the savior's cross. He would not mend his wicked way, until kind providence today. Now oh Lord the great I AM. Please send another to bite old Sam And Jock and Shawn, der vurst of rakes, Oh, Gott! we need more rattlesnakes! And send de biggest on the globe To bite ole Pappy, Jacob Job. And his vife, she need vun too; Perhaps a copperhead vould do. And chicken snakes to bite the gals, and all dere dancing, vicked pals. And now, Oh Gott before too late, Please hurry up dose Gospel snakes, And safe dis ole Kentucky State, And hear dis prayer for Jesus sake. Amen Jacob Job 1737-1808 This poem is older than my grandparents by many generations. It is also known as The Dutchman's Prayer. It was sent to me by an old Jobe, as told to her by another old Jobe...funny how that happens. Randy

    3. found this transcription online which lists the deaths from Yellow Fever in 1793 either in Philadelphia or elsewhere after leaving the city. There's a Joseph Job listed in the 1790 census in Phil, I wonder if it's the same person. Lorelei http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/carey.html A Short Account of the Malignant Fever, lately prevalent in Philadelphia: with a statement of the Proceedings that took place on the subject, in different parts of the United States --- to which are added, Accounts of the Plague in London and Marseilles; and a List of the Dead, From August 1, to the middle of December 1793. By Mathew Carey Fourth Edition, Improved Philadelphia: Printed by the Author. January 15, 1794 P. 121: LIST of the names of the persons who died in Philadelphia, or in distant parts of the union, after their departure from this city, from August 1st, to the middle of December, 1793. (Footnote: This list has been partly collected from the church books of all the different congregations, and partly from the information received by several persons who have been employed to make enquiry at every house in the city and liberties. Though very great pains have been taken and expense incurred, in its arrangement, still it is not given as fully complete and accurate. But it is hoped, that its defects and errors are but few, and, considering the difficulty of the business, such only, as will meet the reader's ready indulgence. Pages 121-159 of Carey's book.

I just have to say this, but one Tennessee fellow's name ca 1850 was "Marble Stone"!!! You should know that the Stone list appears quite good. I also think it has many, many subscribers. I know there are several just from my Nicholas who d. 1834 in Robertson Co. TN. Maybe we are cousins anyway!

He was British. He was awarded The Knight's Cross of St Olav by the King of Norway with the king's personal thanks for Patrick's accomplishments against the Germans in Norway. After his time in Norway, he joined Ian Fleming's group (the creator of the character James Bond; some say that character is based on Dalzel-Job or a composite of people, including Job). In the remainder of the war, he spent significant time behind the German lines in France and in Germany. The book includes the story of how he met his future wife (a Norwegian girl) and how they got together after the war and were married. His journey to get to her has a chilling ending! I highly recommend the book!! Sherman

    1. [JOB] Patrick Dazell-Job
    2. Wanda Gilbert
    3. According to a LETTER to the EDITOR of Lead and Line he died in October. Dear Editor, Patrick Dalzell-job died in Scotland in October at the ripe old age of 90. According to the GLOBE AND MAIL [Nov. 8] Dazell-Job had an adventurous life. As an RNVR officer he was involved in the evacuation from Norway in 1940 and was subsequently in MTB's raiding the Norwegian coast. He spoke several languages and was selected for a Commando Assault Unit. Dazell-Job was given parachute training and operated behind German lines under Ian Fleming in 44/45. It's speculated he was Fleming's inspiration for Jaqmes Bond. The Canadian content to this story is that Dazell-Job emigrated after the war with his Norwegian wife and homesteaded near prince George. In the early fifties he served in Esquimalt as a Lieutenant and Lieutenant-Commander RCN[R]. The July 53 NAVY LIST shows LCDR Patrick D Job RCN[R] on the Flag Officer's staff as Assistant to the Assistant chief of Staff [Training and Administration]. He was working for LCDR William Wilson,DSC,RCN, the Ass't Chief of Staff [Training]; Adm Hibbard DSC* was the Admiral. Do any NOAVI members remember LCDR Dazell-Job? He apparently left for Scotland in 56 where he taught at a local school. Jan Drent
