These letters certainly move you and 'almost' makes you wish you were one of the women that these Job men were courting. What similies and metaphors that they use. I've always had a passion for poetry and these 'words' 'feelings' are just hard to top. "a husband is to a woman what the sun is to the Solar system which defuseth light and warmth on all around it;" "matrimony is like a lottery where we find a hundred blanks, to a capitol prize and yet how anxious we are to buy a ticket" "love which is not built on friendship and esteem is like the blazing meteor which leaves a trail of fire in the heavens, but in the end is succeeded by a deeper gloom. " Margaret Job had married Thomas Blair on May 19, 1816. So that everyone knows, Archibald Job and Jane Brierley were married not long after this letter as they married October 18, 1816. So the Quaker family that he was staying with must have got him thinking. Archibald and Jane had 57 1/2 years together and died within 3 weeks of each other. "Your father who is acquainted with human nature has justly observed that a man must be in years, or in other words have some knowledge of the world, before he can love with that purity which is the groundwork of domestic happiness; wether it will be our case time must unfold" **Now WHY does the man have to be in years (Archibald was 32 1/2 first marriage) and Jane is barely 20? In the previous post, Archibald's parents, Morris Job was almost 26 and Lydia, his future wife was 18 1/2 "That we should make the first overtures, and it is only that dignified modesty which so many of your sex so eminently possess that renders your powers irresistible." **Makes you wonder what Archibald would think if he lived in 2006.

Copied from the original letter on June 15th 1891, at Kansas City, Mo. By Hannah G. Job. Punctuation and orthography as in original letter. My Dearest Jane: Accident threw in my way this morning W. Johnston a merchant from our town in Ohio; and as he starts this day week for Pittsburgh in his way home I have thought the opportunity too favorable not to write to one that is ever uppermost in my mind. I have learned through him that my sister Margaret is married since I left home which is the first notice I have got from that quarter since leaving Ohio; how strange that I should let all the girls tread the Alysian fields before I have sacrifice at the Altar of Human; a husband is to a woman what the sun is to the Solar system which defuseth light and warmth on all around it; but alas; too many shed darkness and disappointment on all beneath their influence: matrimony is like a lottery where we find a hundred blanks, to a capitol prize and yet how anxious we are to buy a ticket; love which is not built on friendship and esteem is like the blazing meteor which leaves a trail of fire in the heavens, but in the end is succeeded by a deeper gloom. Your father who is acquainted with human nature has justly observed that a man must be in years, or in other words have some knowledge of the world, before he can love with that purity which is the groundwork of domestic happiness; wether it will be our case time must unfold. I have been in sixteen states and territories of the Union, I have seen the witty and the fair of each; and such is my want of taste or judgment that I would at the feet of my amiable Jane offer up all their boasted charms for one approving smile from the lips of her that I love. As man and manners have claimed much of my attention in my various peregrinations through life I of course seldom let characters be as eccentric as my present landlord and lady pass without notice; they are both Quakers and he was a merchant formerly of some note, but at present keeps only a grocery store; he is one of those kind creatures that dare not look his Ribb in the face and say you shant; passionately fond of long stories and invariably laughs loudest at those of his own relation; thinks Hannah one of the wisest women in creation, and at table gives an ample proof that he loves her cooking; his spouse is one of the most intolerable talkers I ever met with; will entertain you with "Joses" smart sayings when he commence his courtship and bring up the history to the very birth of her last child which by the way is only four short of a dozen; now as Eliza is the oldest and the very image and turn of her Mamma the old folks have taken a notion that I would make a good sort of husband for her, consequently I am doomed to listen for hours to a detail of the good qualities of their favorite daughter; and all that has entitled me to this uncommon good fortune has been a Yes Madam; No Sir, or a well timed grin, for as to supporting my lawful share of the conversation it was out of the question; Oh, Heavens; with what heartfelt sigh I have thought of Brierly Hall wilst undergoing those firey ordeals. Woman always sinks in the estimation of men when the o'er-step the "modesty of nature"; custom renders it indispensable That we should make the first overtures, and it is only that dignified modesty which so many of your sex so eminently possess that renders your powers irresistible. But with all her talk my worthy hostess is a most notable housewife; her kitchen and neatness and economy does honor to her industry; as they are subscribers to the library and I am fond of a book to employ a leisure moment you must not be surprised if to gain this gratification I should coquette a little to suit the times. How much do I long for the calm tranquility of the country, for her it is all tumult and uproar, not a moment for reflection, save when the moon rears its silver crest above the eastern horizon; that benign luminary seldom shows its face but it reminds me of the evening I returned from _____ Neals in the company with one that I promised for the first time to unfold my heart to; never did tongue so completely deny its office; my heart was fraught with matter; but I found not language to express it; strange that when we wish to show to most advantage we are sure to be most deficient; when the heart is disengaged the tongue is most flippant; the lengthened sigh, the languid glance, or faltering tongue are characteristics of tru love that can never be mistaken; With what impatience did I await the return mail form Pitt-g, but alas; it brought no letter. I have framed in my own mind fifty excuses, but love is never impatient of delay. Perhaps the next mail will convince me I was unreasonable. Present my love to the family and say what you please to the Doctor, but remember that whilst the red current gives warmth and motion to my heart I shall ever remain your devoted. Archibald Job RANDY This is the full copy of 1816 Letter from Archibald Job to his future wife, Jane Brierley. We had portions of it from Bill Jobe's Journal. It's a great read.

To Morris and Lydia Job Well Respected Grandchildren, These lines may inform you we are in some good measure of health at present thanks be to God for it; we rec'd yours sent by James Baley six days after date wherein we were told of your safe arrival and settlement in that place together with a prospect of an agreeable living which we were glad to here, so having nothing strange to inform you of, shall conclude, letting you know that our children here are all well except Rich'd Jr. is not very well &c. so with our kind love to you we remain your grandfather and mother. May ye 11th 1782 Saml and Ann Bond Mr. Morris Job, Maryland, Baltimore Town Children- This spring has been cold and the corn came up uneven and has been remarkable in the neighborhood for birds and other things destroying it about half. My patch stands pretty well the other part not so well but by frequent replanting I hope to make it stand. The people are generally in health and working and scheming as usual to make a living it seems as if there is no new thing under the sun. Your relatives are well; what occasions me to write is that Daniel, in his letter to Joseph Rogers, mentions some cloth to make clothes for me. I want clothes and should have got them myself but waited to see if the cloth would come but as it is not yet, cannot wait much longer but shall suit myself here, but if the cloth is ready, send it up and the bill of it, and plash and trimming that I have got I will send the money down by the first safe hand. I was told that John Taylor was going to Baltimore and I wrote this to go by him and so conclude, with love to all. Arch Job June 2nd 1797 To Morris and Daniel Job Mr. Morris Job, Virginia Son Morris his having been so lately in these parts makes it unnecessary for me to write as he knows all about us and there is little change since he was here. Yet I cannot forebear expressing the satisfaction I have in addressing you in your home for your situation in Baltimore as renters was an uneasiness to me. A growing family and no house of your own to shelter you in sickness or health was a very precarious situation. Your present residence were it no half as large as it is would be more agreeable to me than the finest house in Baltimore on rent. Industry and care, being favored with health will increase your store without being pushed about from post to pillar like renters. God bless you with love to all. Archibald Job Oct. 25, 1802 These letters are not intended as fac-similes for the mere spelling capital letters and punctuation or the want of it; the penmanship is so greatly better than that of the copyist that it is vain to try; these letters are in the possession of M. W. Blair. Those attached are copies and fairly good fac-similes by W. A. Oliver Jacksonville Ill., who has the originals. The blanks illegible original contained the words lips kiss and the signature---Morris Job. Nottingham July 15th, 1777 As my mind is almost wholly taken up with you I thought I could not better amuse myself not pass a leisure minute away with more pleasure than in writing some scrawl according to my ability in your praise; tho but a faint resemblance of you, when having placed the letters of your name in order I proceeded to draw a line from each letter still having in view the name I so much admire; but as it is impossible for pen to express the regard I have for you, you must only take them for a small part of the sentiments of one who is wholly devoted to your service. Love: My jewel does my soul inspire, Your person too is what I most admire Divine in sense and great good nature In beauty bright complete in feature All must admire so sweet a creature. Blest with each charm my heart to warm Or beat my soul with loves alarm Neat clean and gay in shape complete Delicious ____, they ____ most sweet. from your friend to serve Well Respected Children Morris and Lydia Job These comes to let you know we are yet in ye land of ye living and in some good repose of health at this time we are glad to hear of yours, And that we have the happiness to hear from you so often as we do which is matter of satisfaction. So in hope we shall conclude with our kind love to you all wishing you health happiness and everlasting rest. December ye 30, 1782. Saml & Anna Bond Pray excuse shortness as my time is so RANDY Many of you have seen these letters. They are posted on the website.

Ohio Short Creek Meeting, Ruth, Elizabeth, Mary, Samuel and Allen Mt Pleasant Ohio; Lydia Job was a granddaughter of Samuel Bond and Ann Sharpless; Richard Bond sees to have been in America in 1702 and died within a few years of that date, as his widow remarried 1708.

Their son Samuel born 1-1-1692 died 4-10-1783 married Ann Sharpless about 1724 or later. Tradition speaks of the marriage as an elopement before she was of age and occurring in New Jersey. At Chester Monthly Meeting 1726 complaint was made after marriage by a "Priest" to one not a member. John Sharpless, son of Geoffrey and Margaret, was baptized at Wybunburg Cheshire England Aug. 15, 1624 died 4/11, 1685 near Chester Pa. married 2, 24, 1662 to Jane Moor born 1638 died 9, 1, 1722. The date of settlement at Ridley near Chester Pa. is 8, 16, 1682. The date of the release of 1000 acres of land by Wm. Penn is the 5th April 1682- in the 33rd year of the reign of King Charles the 2nd over England. John third child of the preceding, was born at Blakenhall Cheshire England 11, 16, 1666 died near Chester Pa. 7, 9, 1717 married to Hannah Pennell daughter of Robert and Hannah, born in Bouldertown Nottinghamshire Eng. 3, 23, 1673 died 10, 31, 1721. The records of Chester Monthly Meeting recite that: "At a monthly Meeting held at Walter Ffaucetts the 3rd of ye 8th month 1692 John Sharpless and Hannah Pennell belonging to this meeting laid their intentions of marriage before this meeting, being the first time The meeting orders Thomas Vernon and Walter Ffaucett to inquire concerning his clearances and Margaret Winchell and Lydia Carter to inquire concerning her clearances and report the same to next monthly meeting." "At a monthly meeting held at Walter Ffaucetts the 7th of the 5th month 1692 John Sharpless and Hannah Pennell said their intentions of marriage before this meeting being the 2nd time All things being found clear concerning them they are referred to their liberty to proceed according to the order of truth." The marriage certificate dated 23rd ninth month and signed by 48 witnesses is still in existence. Thomas Vernon above was the father-in-law of Andrew Job. A certificate of clearness from Chester Mo. Meeting to that of Haverford of James Sharpless, a younger brother who proposed marriage with Mary ye daughter of Ralph Cluis is signed by order and in behalf by Andrew Job. Ann was the 8th child of John and Hannah born 6-25-1708 died and buried at Shiloh N. J. where her daughter lived, ____ ____. Shortly after marriage she removed to Nottingham Cecil Co. Md.

V., where he died 1, 1, 1819; He was the father of fifteen children, Lydia the fifth a daughter of the first wife married Morris Job as heretofore given, moved to Baltimore. RANDY In the second paragraph is where things run together again and it took me a minute to see he had jumped to Lydia's brother, 2nd Archibald without punctuation or paragraph. This Kirk and Sharples info in important for a few reasons but not to all Jobes. What is most important is that Andrew Job Jr.'s signature is recorded in the Chester Monthly Meeting minutes. This we must get a copy of for our records.

6th To the list of sons and daughters of Archibald job we add not knowing their birth order Enoch Job who died unmarried Cecil Co. Md. 1795 from disease induced by exposure in the army of Gov. Mifflins campaign against the whiskey insurrection in western Pennsylvania, and 7th Thomas job who married Charity Rees probably a cousin in Pa., moved to Berkly Co. Pa. and died there 1862; Mrs. Job with her family moved to Ohio 1812 and died there 1832; they had eight children, Mrs. Margaret Green, Sarah Sellers, Elizabeth Todhunter, Hannah Ellis, Jane Jewry, Leah Ayers, Patty Jewry and Thomas Rees Job; of these only Hannah Ellis remains, born Oct. 9th 1795 died 1884 at Pleasant Plains Jefferson Co. Iowa. Her son Capt. A. Ellis has been prominent in politics in Louisa Co. Iowa, holding the office of Sheriff and State Senator. He is now a resident of Madison Ia. The family traditions among the descendents of Morris Job differ in some particulars from that given by Col. Wilmer. A quaint and brief paper of which several copies exist written in 1796 and during the lifetime of Archibald Job titled A genealogy from old Job tho the present, recites that Andrew, son of Andrew and Elizabeth his wife was born at sea on his passage to Portsmouth New England; his son Thomas was born near Chester Pa., married Elizabeth Maxwell of London, who was mother of Archibald Job who is the father of Levi Job who lives in Baltimore. Then follows a brief record of the Rees line; Morris Rees was born in Wales in Carmarthenshire, he arrived in America at 8 years of age, settled in North Wales Township near Philadelphia where he married Elizabeth Butterfield who was the mother of Archibald Job's wife, Archibald is the father of Morris who is the father of Levi job who lives in Baltimore. This shows two of the _____ of Andrew and also proves an earlier date of arrival than that of Wm. Penn, and as the name nowhere appears in list of Penn's comrades the location of their first place of landing is entirely reasonable and if Quakers before leaving England the date would probably be 1642 to 1660 when citizenship and church membership were in New Hampshire not identical though Portsmouth R. I. may have been the place of landing. The above is written by M. W. Blair >From History of Cecil Co. Md., by George Johnston, Elkton Md. "Nottingham Lots" were settled 1701. A warrant was issued by commissioners at Philadelphia 7th of 1st month 1701 to Henry Hollingsworth to survey the same in tracts of 1000 acres for Andrew Job and 14 others, price £ 8 per 100 acres or two bushels wheat rent; these lots were supposed to be in Pennsylvania but Mason Dixon survey 1768 threw them mainly in Maryland, A. Job's wholly, his lots were no. 35 the extreme S. E. 500 acres and No. 32, %00 west of the first, two lots intervening, and one lot between No. 432 and 30 the meeting house and common. Andrew job established the first tavern in Nottingham on lot 35 about 1710 in a small brick house which is believed to be standing a few rods north of the house formerly called Blueball Inn. Of which it was doubtless the forerunner. The Blue Ball being at the junction of the Lancaster Co. and Nottingham Roads which were the great thoroughfares between those places and New Castle a century ago was well patronized and for a long time was one of the most celebrated hotels in the country. In 1787 the old warehouse in Charlestown former County Seat was sold as public sale to Archibald job for $200. In 1782 A. Job was one of the appraisers of confiscated iron works. Elizabeth Maxwell was the only daughter of Elizabeth Maxwell Defoe, was married 1725 died 7-9-1792 age 82. The family of Jacob Job a reputable citizen and farmer was great-grandson of E. M. Job, are all of that name now residing in Cecil Co. Md. The wife of Nathan Griffith of the Brick Meeting House was a grand-niece of Andrew the hermit who was a grandson of Elizabeth. He died Apr. 1st 1863 age 92." Joseph Trimble died at 82 unmarried leaving an estate of over $52,000.00. On what grounds Defoe is called Quaker by Col. Wilmer and Mrs. Ireland I (M. W. Blair) cannot imagine. He says for himself he is a Presbyterian; his enemies denounce him as a rank Presbyterian, he took part in Monmouth's Rebellion; was under arms for William and Mary; he dressed in lace and ruffles and wore a sword; he wrote in favor of a standing and war with France, and in Robinson Crusoe inculcates baptism and marriage by an ordained priest. HADDON HALL King of the Peak thy hearth is lone No sword girt vassals gather there No minstrels harp pours forth its tone In praise of Dorathy and Margaret fair Where are the high and stately dames Of princely Vernon's bannered Hall And where the knights and what their names That led them forth to Festival They slumber low and in the dust Prostrate and fallen the warrior lies His falchion blade is dim with rust And quenched the ray of beauties eye RANDY This is where Morris Blair begins to attach his thoughts and research. The "quaint" paper mentioned above is a part of this collection I have transcribed. It is the last page.
