The first name John comes from the obituary of John M. Lawson in 1913 - his son-in-law. "1913 -Obituary as transcribed by Alan Sparks Thurs., August 7, 1913 California Democrat Death of John M. Lawson John Miller Lawson died at the home of his son-in-law B. D. Wilson several miles northwest of California Sunday last. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church in this city Monday afternoon, Rev. T. R. White, assisted by Rev. L. B. Arvin officiating and the interment was by the side of his wife at the Masonic cemetery. Mr. Lawson was within a few days of 81 years of age, born in Stokes county, North Carolina, August 14, 1832. When about 7 years of age his father John Lawson, wife and two children came over-land to Missouri with a long train of emigrants from Stokes county, including the Redfords, Dearings, Wilsons, and others who located in what is now Linn township in this county, then Cole county. Stokes county is in western North Carolina and the emigrants came through east Tennessee, thence north through Kentucky to the Ohio river, crossing into Indiana through Indiana and Illinois to Missouri, crossing the Mississippi river at St. Louis. Mr. Lawson said he walked about the entire distance. When gold was discovered in California in '49, John Lawson in '53 drove an ox team across the plains and the great American desert to the land of gold, where he remained two or three years and often remarked to his friends that he had virtually walked from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. In December 1850 he married Hester Ann Jobe, daughter of John Logan Jobe, the Jobe family were from Tennessee and settled here as early as 1818, he was but 18 years old when he married, and in '53 when but 21 he bid his wife and baby good-bye and started on the perflous trip west. After his return he continued to live here, and was always an active energetic citizen. He was rather a remarkable man, having much energy and industry and always thrifty - he was of a genial, social nature and very generous, especially with his friends, to whom he was true and lasting, in fact he would go the full length to accomodate or protect a friend and had an abundance of shrewd native talent. Thurs., August 14, 1913 California Democrat John M. Lawson's Brothers In our sketch of John M. Lawson's death last week we failed to mention in connection with his children that he is also survived by four brothers - Alex and G ? Lawson of this county, Edward Lawson of the state of California and William D. (Bud) Lawson of Miller county. Bud Lawson, who is the father of the late Mrs Wm. Barnhill of this city, is 77 years of age, was in attendance at the funeral and is still a remarkably active man."

Hmmm, that's the only source? Wonder if the author could have mistakenly put 'John' in there since he was writing about John Lawson.....just thinking of possibilities.

Great!! Say, noticed in that one that it says John Logan.....do you know what proof there is for the full name with John? I probably missed the information somewhere. Need to correct my records from Logan to John Logan.

Two interesting finds include: 1860 Clark Co., MO for the Wiliam Jobe and Elizabeth Gray.

He was s/o Abraham Job(e) and Mary 'Polly' Simpson 1860 Shelbo Co., MO for the Andrew J Jobe and Delilah Summers family. We now have the names of 3 children for this family that didn't have before.

Greeting Freida and other cousins on line, With interest i read the below extract, and i may add some interest/light to the topic... With my JOB/JOBE ancestors ( Gwennap, Cornwall), they were miners, and in my case they were there for 200 hundred years mining.... Now giveing some local history of the mining as an example, when mines went dust/broke/did not pay enought to pay wages,, owners of mines looked elserwhere to start new mines with a small crew, leaving a whole lot of miners out of work, or seeking work elsewhere. got cousins who went to the next county which is Devon, worked the mines and later in life, moved back. while others had moved further afield into UK heartland, looking for work, in mining wheather it be coal, copper or other, one cousin did finish up in Wales, for a while, then went to the States. We also had miners ( even mine) had went to the Americas, Sth America, Jamica, Sth AFrica, to work in the mines, either as miners, or as supervisors ( Captain), when they had made enought they then came home to live out the rest of their lives,,, others may have been disappointed in their new surroundsings and had moved back home to look for work etc... So far in the UK they are getting their Cenus on line, 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891. She can look in the 1861 cenus, looking for Nicholas age 2 or 3, with his parents and if possible other brothers and sisters... Once establish the parents name, then back tract to the 1851/1841 cenus of the area. and if they still in residencce, then be able to go to the LDS church and hire in the microfish/film of the parish register, ( as most of the English parish registers commenced about the late 1500s, early 1600s, and ceased about the 1840s, due to centralizing all BDMs).... The other thing to keep in mind is the trade of what Nicholas did, sometimes in those early days sons followed the fathers trade ))). And finally only with a guess ( and remenber it is only a guess), Nicholas father could have been called William, and a possiblity the grandfather was Thomas...???? I hope some of these little words of wisdom helps in someway, if i am wrong please tell me and fray me alive, with cap in hand waiting with bended head.. kind regards Warren Job Australia .................................... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Freida Wells" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 2:51 AM Subject: [JOB] Exciting Contact!! > Hello Everyone, > > I had to share a letter I received yesterday.
