Surnames: Job Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/wJl.2ACEB/120.1 Message Board Post: My great-great grandfather was a Johnson Job who was born in Illogan in 1826. His father was Nathaniel Job who married Ann Simpson in 1814 in Illogan. I am wondering if there is some connection with Thomas R Job.

To M. W. Blair, Esq., Kossuth Iowa Dear Sir: I hereby furnish you with much of what I know of the Job family and connections. I have left blank for you to fill and continue the narrative; to gather this information has cost time, labor and money. I have some knowledge of the Wilmers who were ____ of Rayton Marsdun and Starton County of Warwick and of Sywell County of Nottingham England as far back as 1582 (three hundred years ago) When the crown confirmed their coat of arms which was by the way is crest and spread eagle in gold and the color of the shield are red white and blue- A coincidence is that two hundred years later the eagle became our national emblem and the red white and blue our national colors. From 1662 when Simon Bolivar came to America commissioned Clerk of the Court of the Isle of Kent, in the province of Maryland. I have a continuous record of the family. Hence I felt a great desire that my children should know all that was attainable of their maternal ancestors. Searches of musty records for the most part reveal only facts as dry as dust but occasionally an incident or historical fact in unearthed that when brought to the light of the present day flashes and sparkles with the beauty and brilliancy of a diamond like sunshine on the sea. I confess my hunt for family history has afforded me much real pleasure and if my efforts in that direction prove a delight and revelation to you I shall be glad to know it. Respectfully Yours, Edwin Wilmer Baltimore April 1883 I have but one copy of the "Whig" and have not been able to get another, hence, as opportunity has favored I have written out much that this paper contains and a good deal not in the article you saw at Mrs. Harrisons. I trust that I have at least put you on the right track to obtain some other information of your immediate family as may be accessible; If all were written it would make a book. If you have the time means and taste for visiting old places and scenes that were the homes of bygone ancestors whose memory is still fragrant, and meeting in social converse with those of your own (though remotely) blood, I think you would enjoy a visit to old Maryland. If you could bring James T. Megredy with you, you might both renew your youth. Our humble house is No. 379 Druid Hill Avenue where the latch string hangs out; come to see us and if you don't enjoy your visit you need not repeat it. E. Wilmer N. B. You will notice that James Trimble of Fairville Chester Co. Pa. is first cousin of your mother. I advise you to write to him. He is a rare avis flower in the garden of humanity and is as good as he is wise. A most interesting correspondent and writes in a hand that shows no infirmity of age. I send you an envelope of his recent specimen. RANDY What you have read is the last of Col. Wilmer's writings. As I mentioned in the Introduction, this paper is titled as written by Wilmer, but the rest of this document is written by Morris Blair, with excerpts from George Johnston, The Kirk Genealogy, and the Chester Monthly Meeting and letters written by Samuel Bond, Archibald and Morris Job.

New Cousins Records album for Joseph C. Baon and Elizabeth Baines. Both are Jobe 1st Cousins, being descendants of Jacob Jobe and Deborah MacKay. Joseph descends from Jacob's dauhter, Phebe (Jobe) Barron and Elizabeth descends from Mary Leah (Jobe) Cox. Joseph and Elizabeth married January 4, 1866 Washington Co., TN. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2101435486 http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/album/jc_bacon_eliz_baines.html All in album are new. And how I got these death certificates is quite a story in itself. A lady, unrelated to the Jobe family but a Bacon descendant, saw these on e-bay, and bought them as a bundle. She was then searching World Connect and noticed that several of the names that she had certificates for were in my file. She wrote and asked me if I wanted them and then she copied them all (probably close to 60) and mailed them to me free of charge - as we had so many common cousins and she was so happy to get the information that we had posted. Now there are some 'nice' people' out there. #1 Elizabeth (Baines) Bacon Death Certificate, 1926 Washington Co., TN. She was d/o Jesse J.

The Blue Ball Tavern was established by Andrew Job about 1710. This Inn is at the junction of the Lancaster County and Nottingham road which was the great through pass to New Castle on the Delaware. The Inn was a noted place for more than 100 years. (Note.) Elizabeth Maxwell widow of Thomas Vernon Job died 1782 age 82. Andrew Job the hermit lived on his farm alone for about fifty years, was forced to accede to taking shelter with a bachelor nephew and two maiden nieces in consequence of his dwelling having burned, died 1863 age 92. Joseph Trimble the rich bachelor referred to died a few years ago age 82 years. His brother James has much reputation as a florist and has contributed largely to Darlington Work "Floorida Cestcica" James Trimble gave the land and laid out the lots and planted the shrubbery for the cemetery at the Brick Meeting House and called it after the name of his farm Rose Bank Cemetery; it is a very pretty place. (Note.) The Job, Reynolds and Megredy intermarried. My wife's grandfather on her mother's side was John Reynolds. His brother Judge David Reynolds of Lewiston Pa. left a daughter Ellen Moore Reynolds who married her first cousin Dr. John Cromwell Reynolds Surgeon U. S. Army; she is a widow of means and has no children and has traveled extensively in Europe and when in England visited "Haddon hall". Her grandmother was a Job, her husband was a lineal descendent of Oliver Cromwell. At present she resides in Philadelphia Pa. (Note.) The characteristics of the Job family were, great longevity, indomitable will and persistency, self reliance and self asserting, dry wit and good humor, fondness of books and flowers, generally married late in life if at all. The traits, more or less, have cropped out in their descendants down to the present generation. (Note.) The Biographical Encyclopedia of Representative Men of Maryland of which Jans one of the editors contained sketches of a number of those referred to in this paper. The book is the size of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, price $25.00. It is elegantly bound and contains over one thousand sketches and one hundred portraits. (note.) Mrs. Richard Ireland the author of the article in Scribner is a daughter of the late Job Haynes; her mother was a Kirk on both paternal and maternal sides related to the Jobs. A widowed sister of Mrs. Ireland's (Mrs. Dr. Turner) resided with Mrs. Ireland. They have a brother Reuben Haynes a lawyer of some prominence in Elkton, quite literary and has traveled extensively in this country and Europe. (Note.) James Trimble for a number of years has been gathering incidents and genealogy of the early history of settlers of Nottingham Township; he will probably never publish the result of his labors though earnestly urged to do so. I expect he will bequeath his manuscripts to the "Nottingham Monthly Meeting" for the benefit of some historian who will probably profit by his labors. RANDY This post is a group of notes Wilmer had kind of as an endnote. You will see what I mean in the next post. The third note has always been attributed to Morris Blair, but I am having my doubts. RANDY "Floorida Cestcica" is actually Florula Cestrica written by William Darlington (1782-1863), an American botanist. In 1813 he began a descriptive catalogue of plants growing around West Chester, Pennsylvania with the title Florula Cestrica (1826), afterward enlarged as the Flora Cestrica (1837; new ed., 1853), containing a complete description and classification of every plant known in the county. A known copy is located at the University of Delaware Library, Special Collections, in Newark, Delaware. RANDY The note about "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Representative Men of Maryland" says 'Jans' was a contributor. I am unable at this time to find a copy although I believe I once researched this book in the McClung Collection at the Knoxville Library while working on the Barron and Bacon families in Maryland and their connection to the Jobes, Emmerts and Massengilles. I think he means "James" Trimble...and probably a typo. At one time I had a copier quality copy of Trimble's work. I must have loaned it out and never got it back. I 'think' I copied 60 pages at the Lancaster County Historical Society back in the mid-90's.

ATTENTION: Descendants of Andrew Job Jr and Elizabeth Vernon, Job(e) Legacy I just finished going through the researcher's page. For Andrew jr's children that I checked (Caleb, Jacob,, Thomas, Abraham, Mary and Patience) I got 14 returned - so their addresses, etc have now been removed from the site. Hopefully, we'll get some new ones to add. Remember any old photos, tombstone photos or any scans of documents or anything for our albums or for our letter pages - then please send these to myself or to Freida (if a Joshua Job descendant) Thanks, Ann

Descendant of Andrew Job Jr or listed in Job(e) Legacy, I need you to check the researcher's pae at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/researchersa.html I just went through the file that I had for address changes and made some updates. I need you to check YOUR name and e-mail address on the site and if it is wrong or needs changed to WRITE ME personally at ann@personainternet.com Also, if your ancestor is listed in Job(e) Legacy and you're not listed as a researcher on this page, then I need you to send me persoanlly something similiar to: Ann (Jobe)Brown - Jesse Jobe/Susan Ann McINTIRE - Caleb Jobe/Martha Emily BREWER - Jesse William JOBE/Minnie MEARS -Earl Frederick Jobe/Venetia DAVIS Also, if you've ever contributed anything to any of the albums - your name and e-mail address should be HERE with your lineage. Every index page has a link back to this page. It is easier to work with trying to keep addresses current on one page than it is many. As you can see, this page has not had a complete recheck of it in 3 years now. Goal is to check within the next 2 weeks EVERY ADDRESS on this page - so do expect a letter from one of us - verifying your address and lineage. If all is correct, you don't need to do anything, if something needs to be changed - we need to know about it. And if the letter is returned at the address that is posted - then your name will be removed until it is updated. For now, I'll start working with Caleb's descendants. I'm going to leave Joshua's group for Patti and/or Freida to check as they get time and they will advice me of any corrections. P.S. - For now, I'm only working on the ones in Legacy. Will do Branches at a later date. Ann (Jobe) Brown ann@personainternet.com

MORRIS JOB AND DESCENDENTS Morris Job was born at Nottingham May 26th 1753. His father, himself, his brothers and brother-inlaw were iron workers and were generally disowned by the Friends for taking a contract to make arms for the Continental Army. He married Lydia daughter of Richard Bond and Mary Garman of Nottingham in the latter part of the year 1779. In 1782 he moved to Baltimore accompanied by his brother Daniel and was in the employ of the government superintending the iron work of the frigate Constellation. In 1802 he moved to Germantown Berkley Co. Va. And died there the following spring. His widow (with her daughters) moved to Fayette Co. Ohio ten years later and dies there June 1821. Their children were Levi and Ann Bond born in Nottingham, Archibald, Mary B., Margaret and Sarah born in Baltimore. Levi born 1778 learned furniture making, worked in Baltimore and Washington, was with the family when his father died, and afterwards, lured by reports of golden gains in the south west, went to New Orleans and all trace of him lost; he was unmarried. Anna married at a very early age to Captain Gross of Baltimore who ill treated her, the irate father administered to the recreant husband, took his daughter away and sent her to her grandfathers. Gross sailed for the Indies and never returned. After teaching for some time in Virginia she married James Bruce and moved to Ohio, came to Iowa with her family in 1838 and died near Mt. Pleasant at age 80 at the house of Jane Terry. Her children were Jane Terry, James Bruce, Lawrence Bruce, Sarah Anderson and Lydia Smith. Archibald Job was a cabinet maker, followed his brother to New Orleans and took part in the defense if that city under the command of Lafitte of the Baritaria Jan 8, 1815. Returning to the north he stopped at Pittsburg and married Jane Brierly in 1821. He came to Illinois settling on a farm in what is now Cass Co. He was a Postmaster, member of the State Legislature and Commissioner for building the first State House at Springfield. He was a man of culture, strict integrity, great public spirit, widely known and much respected through out his state. He was born March 10th 1784 died March 10th 1874. His children were Adelaide Schneider, Lydia Ann Oliver, Elizabeth Woods, Cornelia Buckley, Brierly Harris Job, Morris Bond Job, Virginia Douglas, Sarah Margaret Gates, Levi Thomas Job, and Archibald Job Jr. Mary B. Married James Crothers in Va. And moved to East Monroe Ohio and died there Sept. 10, 1854; her children were Jane Baker, Horatio G. Crothers, Isabella G. Putnam, Ann Crothers, Caroline Parrett and Ellen Crothers. Margaret married Thomas Blair and Sarah married David Evans Blair in Ohio and all their lives were spent near each other. Thomas and David E. Blair were of the pioneer race, their father Wm. Blair born near Lancaster Pa. entered the Revolutionary Army at 16 and at the close of the war he married and moved by pack horse to Westmoreland Co., two or three years later floated his family by flatboat to Kentucky and in 1799 again by pack horse moved to Ross Co. Ohio; in 1819 a week after the marriage of D. E. Blair he and Thomas moved to Indiana and in 1822 joined their brother-in-law in Cass Co. Ill.; three years later they crossed the Illinois river and settled near Rushville. In 1834 made claims in the New Purchase and in 1835 Thomas moved his family over the Mississippi followed by his brother D. E. in 1836 and here they reared their families, cultivated their farm and lived quiet and useful lives for forty years. Both were office bearers in the Presbyterian Church of which their wives were constant members from the beginning and active in all church work. Thomas Blair represented his county in the first Wisconsin Legislature. D. E. Blair was a member Iowa Territorial Legislature in 1842 and of the first State Legislature. D. E. Blair dies in 1874 age 82, Thomas in 1875 age 86, his wife Margaret in 1877 age 89, and Sarah in 1882 age 91. RANDY This section is well written and organized. The next post continues with this family and is equally well written.

Just updated Job(e) Legacy, Descendants of Andrew Job Jr, with 174 new entries in the last 11 days. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown Major updates include the: ---Col.

The 6th posting is now on the website and can be found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/wilmer_job_history.html#6th *on the site I did add a link for James Robinson Torbert (know Randy has Forbert?) and there is a photo of him. In 1855, he was valdictorian of Dickson college. He was at one time editor and publisher of the Cecil Whit, a newspaper founded in 1841. Quite a bit of new information in this post, especially full names where I only had an initial and a few extra children that I'll be checking out further and updating Job(e) Legacy with on the next update. I agree the way that Col. Wilmer wrote this, it can be very confusing if you don't have the families in front of you to follow. Thank goodness for FTM - which made it pretty easy for me since I had most of it entered or at least enough that I could follow. Ann (Jobe) Brown

RANDY Don't let the numbers (13 etc.) at the end of the first paragraph confuse you. They are who he says they are, not Enoch's children. Not all James' children are listed here in either. The next paragraph will confuse you by the use of and lack of numbers. Read slowly and deliberately and keep the family files close by. There is new info in this post we didn't have. The Jane that married John M. McClenahan is Laura Jane Farrow.

We are to resume the narrative after having copied proceedings of Nottingham Monthly Meeting Archibald Job is the man we were writing about and we here resume an account of him which was interrupted by copying the church trial. (Marginal Note--Some account of Andrew Job the hermit and his brother "Red Dan" as he was called, is in the No. referenced to of Scribner. They were first cousins of Morris Job.) (Family of Archibald son of Daniel son Thomas / Morris' wife was Lydia Bond--Blair.) Archibald Job was Captain or leader of the Job scouting party and it is said through him or by reason of information given by him, Washington was induced to put the Brandywine between him and the British on a certain memorable occasion. He was an active member of the Society of Friends until he took part in the war. A document dated 7th month 1st 1775 making report to the Friends Meeting by a committee to whom had been referred a complaint is signed with others by Arch' Job in a bold copy plate hand with considerable flourish with taking pen from paper. Archibald Job dies about 1805. The children Archibald and Margaret Rees Jobe were 1st Daniel Defoe Job who married Margaret Megreedy and left one child Rebecca who died 1882 aged 85 years; she was unmarried, and Morris Job, he with his brother Daniel Defoe and their father Archibald were scouts until after the battle of the Brandywine when they were transferred to Col. Hollingsworth "Guards" at Elkton to accumulate military stores for the troops passing through Cecil Co. After the war they returned to their forge and smithing which they conducted in connection with farming. James Trimble residing at Fairville Chester Co., Pa. has some personal recollections of his uncle Morris Job and described him as a tall athletic looking man wearing a full military coat of the old revolutionary pattern. (probably his company uniform as a member of Baltimore artillery an engraved ornament of which was in existence when the above was written. Blair.) 3rd Sarah who married James Trimble a man of much prominence, The children of James and Sarah Job Trimble were (1) Joseph and eccentric rich bachelor who died a few years ago at a ripe old age. (2) Job, who married Margaret Farrell and left a son James R. Trimble who is living on his farm near Baltimore. He has quite a family some of them married and two sons doing business in Baltimore. (3) Thomas who removed to Ohio and married a Miss ____ Kelly; he afterwards moved to Illinois (near Peoria); he left six children. (4) Ann who married Wm. Phillips of Cecil Co. Md. and left a large family of children who have moved to different sections. (5) Rees, was a Campbellite Baptist minister of some prominence in the west. He was twice married and left children who are scattered through the west. (6) James the youngest Hannah Mendenhall have no children they lived for many years in Cecil Co. Md. But afterward moved to Fairville Chester Co. Pa. He is much above mediocrity in intellect, culture and research. To him I am indebted for much information obtained of the Job family. 4th Elizabeth Job who married John Megredy & their children (1) Daniel who married Mary Reynolds who left one child Hannah Elizabeth who married Edwin Wilmer; they have five living children and three grandchildren-- three of the five are married and all the families live in Baltimore except the oldest child Mary Rachel who married Henry M. Forbert of Elkton Cecil Co. Md. And resides there. 5th Margaret Job the 5th child married John Reynolds and left children in Little Britton, Lancaster Co. Pa. (N. B.) I have portraits of John Megredy and his two sons Daniel an Enoch Megredy. RANDY Only comment on the birth order, Wilmer jumps around alot. Be prepared, it gets harder to comprehend without the family files handy. RANDY It seems James R. Trimble (son of Job Trimble) didn't go to Illinois with his parents. We'll have to research his family In Baltimore County. RANDY The Miss Kelly that married Thomas Trimble is Margaret. More on all these families in our family files. RANDY The N. B. in parenthesis is either Newton Blair, a typo for Morris Blair or short for Note Book as far as I can cipher...you will see this several times in the following posts. Newton is the son of Thomas Blair and Margaret Job, daughter of Morris Job and Lydia Bond.
