The letter page that we had for Archibald Job and Margaret Rees has been redone to the 'new style' and is now 3 pages instead of the one. These are all people who are closely-related to the transcriptions that Randy are now doing. Some of the letters, though transcriped in Decmeber and posted to the Job list, had never been posted to a Memory Lane Letter page. Thanks to Lonnie for reminding me about them. *Know just after Christmas I had had some problems with the computer and somehow these got 'lost' in the shuffle. Sorry for the delay in getting them posted to their proper place.

JOBS AGAIN Archibald Job, son of Thomas Vernon and Elizabeth Maxwell Job, was married in 1782 to Margaret Rees, a daughter of Morris and Sarah Rees, who are described as descendents of the ancient Brittons and who moved from the Welsh settlement on the Scuykill in Pa. to Nottingham Cecil Co. Md. In 1730. Archibald Job was a public spirited and popular man as evidenced by the fact that he was for several terms high sheriff of Cecil Co. Md., at a period when the best men only were chosen for officers. Some anecdotes are told of him in connection with his zealous participation in the struggles of the Revolution. The following copied from the records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting of Friends in Cecil County Maryland was done by Kirk Brown, No. 1813 Caroline Street Baltimore Md. 3rd month 28, 1896 by request of M. W. Blair, Kossuth Iowa. "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held 27 day of the 2nd month 1776 A complaint is brought from East Nottingham preparative Meeting against Daniel Job, son of Archibald, for joining in that of war preparations, he having attended the place of mustering and been active thereon; which having acknowledges and on being treated with several times on the occasion, appears to justify himself thereon, Wherefore William Churchman and Thomas Underhill are appointed to treat again with him." "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held the 31st day of 8th month 1776 The friend to treat with Daniel Job report they have done so and that he continues to justify himself in what he ahs done, saying he thinks it consistent with his duty" Yet for some reason it is left for another month. "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held the 12th day of the 10th month 1776 East Nottingham Preparative Meeting introduce a complaint against Archibald Job in that he hath appealed, plead for or vindicated war-like measures, which it is thought has been an encouragement to several of his sons to rather join in the mustering or running with the current of the world in the commotion of the present times. Also attended and been somewhat active at one of their elections for the choice of an officer or officers. Also that it appears he has in a light manner spoken by way of undervaluing the sacred writers of the New Testament several times; which after several opportunities taken with him it is now thought best to be laid before the monthly meeting for the further care. Whereupon Henry Reynolds, Jr. and William Webster are appointed to take a silent opportunity with him." "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held the 26th day of the 10th month 1776 East Nottingham preparative Meeting brings complaint against Morris and Thomas Job, sons of Archibald, the first for attending a place or places of mustering or training in the military way and hireing himself to work at the business of making or putting gun barrels in order for military use and on being treated with by that meeting justifies his conduct therein, and that Thomas has joined associating and mustering and on being treated with as above justifies his proceedings and says he knew it was contrary to Friends principals before he entered into it, and considered it well and thought it his duty in the present circumstances of affairs to do (or to that purpose). The cases are left under care of Henry Reynolds Jr. and William Churchman who are to treat further with them and report their success and how they find them disposed, to next Meeting. "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held the 30th day of the 11th month 1776 The Friends appointed about Archibald Job and his sons report they had an opportunity with them in which they discharged themselves tho it did not appear acceptable to Archibald from some of the committees and that some of the sons on the whole rather justified themselves and left friends at liberty to proceed as they thought best which being considered and friends think it as well that Archibald should be visited once more that the meeting may be fully clear and Mordecai James and Joshua Brown are named for the purpose." "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held 28 day of the 12th month 1776 Joshua Brown Sr. reports that since the decease of Mordecai James, he in Company with other friends visited Archibald Job and labored as abilitated to convince him of his error which labor he appeared to take kindly, but still appeared on the whole to continue the same disposition, preferring or not distinguishing natural reasoning from the divine light and rather satisfies his sentiment respecting the present commotion and that defense is necessary and no encouragement to expect a change of mind. Which being considered and several friends sentiments expressed, it appears to be the sense and judgment of Friends that the case may be ripe to close and George Churchman and Samuel England now appointed yet to take another brotherly opportunity with him and if he still continues to justify himself as heretofore they are to inform him the Meeting cant come short in support of our discipline and principles of declaring our disunity with him and authorized to prepare something for that purpose, and acquaint him so, And his sons case are committed to them also to prepare that may be suitable in their cases and produce to next meeting.""At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held the 25 day of the 1st month 1777 The Friends appointed about Archibald Job and sons, that they have fulfilled their charge to them and no alteration appearing in their disposition they have prepared a testimony against them which after reading and approved and signed by the Clerk and Thomas Churchman and Thomas Barrett are named to offer them a copy. "At Nottingham Monthly Meeting held 29 day of 3rd month 1777 Whereas Archibald Job who made profession amongst us the people called Quakers, but closely adhering to the dictates of divine grace and truth inwardly manifested hath deviated from the principals professed by us and so far given way to a contrary disposition as to encourage or countenance war-like measured and in course of our dealing with him and his sons for joining in such measures hath frequently pleaded for the use of the same which we apprehend is contrary to the nature and purity of the gospel of our blessed savior, And being he being treated with for this deviation did manifest unsoundness in faith mistrusting or setting light by some of the doctrines contained in the new testament seeming to prefer or not to distinguish natural reason from the divine light of Christ which we profess to believe in as the only leader into all truth. Therefore accounting such things dangerous and sorrowful departure from our Christian testimony and from that wisdom which is from above and is pure and peaceable one endeavored to restore the said Archibald not proving effectual, we think it our duty for maintaining the good order established amongst us to signify that is gone out of fellowship with us that we do not own him as a member of our society until through a more close attention to the spirit of truth he may come to see and acknowledge his error herein which we desire he may, Given forth at Nottingham Monthly Meeting held 25 day of 1st month 1777 and signed on behalf of the same by Samuel England Clerk" "Whereas Morris, Thomas and Daniel, sons of Archibald Job having a birth right in our society but not strictly attending to the inward teaching of grace and truth which comes by Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace, have too much given way to a contrary disposition whereby they have repeatedly drawn in to join with the commotion of the times, so far as to muster and engage in warlike measures which being a manifest deviation from our peaceable principles They have been deliberately treated with in tenderness and love in order to reclaim them and that not proving effectual but they each of them continue to justify themselves in that conduct we think it our duty for maintaining out testimony against such practice to testify that they by doing so are gone out of fellowship with us and that we do not own them, the said Morris, Thomas and Daniel job as members of our society until by a more close attention to the spirit of truth they may come to see their error and acknowledge the same to satisfaction which we desire they may. Given by and signed in and on behalf of Nottingham Monthly Meeting held 25 day of 1 month 1777. Samuel England Clerk RANDY Here is a large thread of Quaker records. The story tells itself with no elaboration by me. I transcribed as I read, but this is not the way they (the Quaker clergy and clerks) wrote or spoke. Most of the original is here, but seems to be reworded to suit the reader of 1875-1899. I do not have copies of the original records mentioned to compare to. I can see where the written word of 1777 may be closer to the common day than that of say Andrew Job's will written 75 years before. What is missing is the "Ye" and "Thou" which is common reference even in Revolutionary times. It seems Mr. Kirk Brown may have broken a strict genealogical rule by correcting a transcription. We have some of these records partially posted at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe.html RANDY Kirk Brown b. 1845 in Baltimore, was the son of Clemson Brown and Lydia Ann Griffith, Lydia being the daughter of Nathan Griffith and Mary Kirk, daughter of William A. Kirk and Lydia Job, daughter of J. Daniel Job and Mary Brown, Daniel was the son of Thomas Vernon Job and Elizabeth Maxwell, Thomas being the 3rd son of Andrew Jr. and Elizabeth Vernon.

Patti, I'm copying the lists also. Marjorie just got the links off a website, using a search engine, after seeing Randy's posts. She and her husband are presently visiting their daughter in England so it really sparked their interest. Elizabeth Vernon was the d/o Thomas Vernon (abt 1639 - Oct 25, 1698 Chester co., PA) and Elizabeth Unknown. And Thomas Vernon was the s/o James Vernon born March 13, 1609/10 Stanthorne, Middlewich, Cheshire, England and died June 1, 1675 Chester, Cheshire, England. JAmes Vernon married Hester Brown about 1638 England. She was born Jan 1, 1608/09 Cheshire, England and died Apri l4, 1675 Cheshire, England. This much we know for sure. James was a Quaker. His ancestral home was Haddon Hall and was featured in National Geographic in November 1985. He lived in Davenham, between Norwich and Middlewich in Cheshire, England - excert taken from RootsWeb's "Stuart/Morgan Family History Change Now some say that James Vernon was the s/o Hugh Vernon - but this I believe is under question. Bruce Family History: Traditions and Letters] by Edith Bruce Heinzman in 1899. This is page 103 that was in the papers that Vaughn Lawrence sent to Ann 8/3/2000 ---- -103- VERNON The family of Vernon of Cheshire is one of the most ancient in England, dating from the Norman Conquest. Richard de Vernon, who was the son of William, Lord of Vernon, in Normandy, had a grant of Shipbroke in Cheshsire, before Doomsday. His son William, was Daron of Shipbroke and from them derive, apparently all of the name in this country (America). From this neighborhood six hundred years later came three brothers to America: Thomas, Randall, and Robert Vernon. The immediate ancestor of the three Vernon brothers we James Vernon, whose wife was Esther. She died 4/1/1675. James and Esther lived between Norwich and Middlewich in Davenheaven. (1) In 1682, three brothers, Thomas, Randal, and Robert Vernon emigrated from Stanthorn on the river Dee in Cheshire, England and settled in Nether Providence, PA. These Vernons are believed to be descendants of the above mentioned ancient Vernons and the Vernons of Haddon Hall, one of the notable places visited by tourists in England. In the halls of Haddon Hall hangs the Vernon coat of Arms, a ferocious Boars Head. Haddon Hall is located on the river Wye, between London and Liverpool. Through this line some claim to aristocracy can be claimed. (2) Thomas Vernon b.______ , of Stanthorne, near Middlewich, Co Palatine,Chester, England. d. 10-25-1698/9 Thomas Vernon was supposed to have been the oldest of the three brothers, arrived in Chester Co. Pa. Sometime in 1682 and became a large land owner, as did all three of his brothers. The are of Chester Co in which they settled in now Delaware Co. Thomas and Randall Vernon occurred the same house for some time. Both were active members of the Society of Friends. Their home was often used as a Meeting House. He is listed as having been juror at the first court held for Chester Co. He was a yeoman, and as exemplory member of the Society of Friends, and a good citizen. He had not entirely escaped religious persecution in England. (3) Thomas Vernon had a 250 acres tract of land surveyed 10/16/1702 near Ridley Creek. The property extended on the Providence Road a short distance above Hinkson's Corners. He also received a grant of land, 625 acres, March 3, 1681, deeded from William Penn on that date. According to Cope he had a large family, possibly nine children, though we know of only three. Vernon Children 1. Thomas Jr. b. 1673 d 11, 4, 1754 ,m, Lydia Ralfe 2.

They had two daughters: ---Ann Worley who married Henry Reynolds April 23, 1733 Nottingham, Chester co., Pennsylvania ---Mary Worley who married Elisha Gatchell, Jr. Oct 3, 1733 West Nottingham, Chester co., PA. Mary and Elisha had a son, Joseph Gatchell who married Hannah Churchman, d/o Thomas Churchman and Rachel Reynolds. There were many intermarriages amongst these families. Ann From: Patti To: Ann Jobe Brown Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 9:20 PM Do you have any lineage from Elizabeth Vernon on back to show how she hooks up to the last Vernons listed as owners of this Haddon Hall?? Beautiful place! I checked the Job/e Legacy but it starts with Elizabeth, do you know where Marjorie got the Vernon family history she mentions? xoxo Patti

Well everyoe, having to use 'plain text' like we do on the list, really missed up this posting - especially Randy's comemnts and the chart of names, which was really jumbled and run together. On my way out shortly, grandson's 4th birthday party, but I did get the posting on the website (though my comments, if any, will have to wait, probably until tomorrow afternoon. But you can get a 'better grasp' of Randy's comments from the website, which I did have a chance to get posted. This link will take you directly to the 3rd posting http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/wilmer_job_history.html#3rd Ann (Jobe) Brown

Vernons In 1682 three brothers Thomas, Randal, and Robert Vernon, emigrated from Stauthorn on the river Dee in Cheshire England and settled in Nether Province Pa. Thomas was the elder and it was his daughter Elizabeth who in 1692 married Andrew Job. These Vernons were descendents of the Vernons of Haddon Hall, one of the notable places visited by tourists in England. (N. B.- I have a photo of this immense old castle with it's weather beaten towers, walls, battlements, turrets and windows.) In the hall hangs the Vernon Coat of Arms, ferocious Boars head, and beside it portraits of Henry VII and his consort. An English family now residing in Elkton claim to have lived near and often been at Haddon Hall. It is situated between London and Liverpool on the river Wye in the peaks of Derbyshire; for more than 350 years previous to the reign of Queen Elizabeth it has been in the possession of the Vernons. The founder of Vernons in England is presumed to have been one of the tr______r barons Normandy who followed William the Conqueror to England in the 11th Century and received in return large estates in Derbyshire and Cheshire from which the Saxon nobles were expelled. In the division of the estates in the latter part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth the Derbyshire including Haddon Hall fell to the lot of Dorathy Vernon and through her husband Sir John manners has descended to the present Duke of Rutland. The King of the Peak held high carnival for twelve days at Christmas times and on one "Haddon" festive night on the marriage of Margaret to the Earl of Derby when the hall was crowded with gay and joyous guests and revelry prevailed, Dorathy eloped with Sir John Manners. It is said that the door through which Dorathy eloped was closed that night and had never been opened since and that the long flight of stone steps down which she descended are covered with a moss and ivy. The Vernons are all buried in the chapel of the Castle and busts of full length figures of them with jeweled sword handles are positioned around the chapel, on the neck of Dorathy is a string of massive gold and jeweled beads and that an armed guard is on duty day and night. In Cromwell's time much defacement occurred which has since been partially restored. Such are some of the representations that have been made to me. N. B.- The foregoing furnished a peg on which you may hang a claim to English Aristocracy, let those who dispute it prove to the contrary. The Vernons were all active in public affairs and the old Norman blood cropped out in some of their descendents. Captain Joe Vernon's name is on the list printed by order of Congress of officers who served faithfully to the end of the Revolution. He died in 1810. Major Frederick Vernon also served to the end of the Revolutionary War. RANDY I have some research on the Vernons over the years, but kept only what what I saw while researching Jobes. More can be seen at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/l/e/Andrew-A-Alexis/GENE1-0001.html Here is a timeline I made for Thomas: 1678 The Quarter sessions found 23 Quakers guilty of one month's absence from Parish Church. They were fined 20 pounds. Among those sentenced were Thomas Vernon, Peter Dix, Joseph Powell, and John Sharpless. 1681 May 6, Thomas Vernon received a patent from William Penn for 625 acres in Pennsylvania. It is believed that Thomas Vernon first made a surveying trip to Pennsylvania, then returned to England. 1682 August 14, the ship "Friendship", with Robert Crossman, master, arrived from Liverpool; aboard was Thomas Vernon, wife, children, brothers, and other extended family members. After the arrival, Thomas was prominent in many Quaker affairs; his home was used as a meeting house; and he served as a juror in the first Chester County Court. His lands in Nether Providence, on the west side of Providence Road, adjoined his brothers' tracts. The area is now know as Rose Valley. Before sailing to his colony in America, William Penn sold many tracts of land. One of them was sold to the Vernon brothers; Thomas of Stanthorne, Randall of Sandway, and Robert of Stoke, Parish of Action. They each bought 625 acres. 1685 Thomas Vernon was named a peacemaker. He and Andrew Job, Jr. agreed to the bad affects of selling whiskey to the Indians. They subscribed to the building of a meeting house in Chester and collected subscriptions for Friends who were suffering in other parts of the colonies. They also subscribed to the first printing press in Pennsylvania. 1687 April, It was agreed that certain members including Randal Vernon and Caleb Pusey would contract men to build a meeting house. (later, Mary Vernon, daughter to Thomas Vernon, married Henry Worley, step-son to Caleb Pusey) 1687 December 5, trustees were appointed and 10 pounds was advanced for ground for the Chester Meeting House. The trustees included Thomas Vernon. 1688 Thomas Vernon gave testimony to the evil and bad effects of selling whiskey to the Indians; those present and signing were Robert Vernon, Andrew Job, and Randal Vernon. 1690 Thomas Vernon was named appraiser. 1698 Thomas Vernon died on October 25th. This from "Papers of William Penn, Vol 3, 1685-1700" "Virtually from the beginning of his proprietorship, WP had focused on the Susquehanna Valley as a major area of development. Strategically situated near a vital northern fur trade route, this region had great potential to augment WP's economic base. He was aware of the Great Mingas Path, also known as the Conestoga Path, which crossed the fork of the Brandywine Creek and continued southeast to Manayunk, and which had been used by the Susquehannocks and Contestogas to bring beaver skins to trading posts on the lower Schuylkill and Delaware rivers. WP was hoping to expand this trade by taking over the Susquehanna region and diverting the principal Indian fur trade route, then terminating at Albany, to an all water route down the Susquehanna, Schuylkill, and Delaware rivers. Unfortunately, this effort was blocked by the Iroquois, who controlled the region, and also by Governor Dongan of New York, who in 1683 claimed to have privately purchased the land WP wanted from the Iroquois. ...Despite this setback, WP in 1690 published a tract entitled Some Proposals for a Second Settlement in the Province of Pennsylvania, announcing his intention to build a city in the Susquehanna Valley and offering land for sale along the Susquehanna River... . Any investors would receive, in addition to land on the river, a proportionate share in the proposed city 'to build a House or Houses upon.' ...WP was in no position in 1690 to push his Susquehanna project, but apparently in 1695 he revived the plan, claiming that he would come to Pennsylvania within two years to negotiate the treaties necessary to establish his right to the region.. ...In the spring of 1696, approximately 450 persons from Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties pledged to pay WP in the neighborhood of 4000 pounds for land on the Susquehanna. The following lists identify 332 subscribers who pledged him 2970 pounds. ...Enthusiasm for this new settlement may have been dampened in June 1696 when ! Indians from the Ohio Valley raided the Susquehanna region..., and WP's failure to come to America by May 1698 voided the proposed subscriptions."

He served as a juror at the first court held for the county of Chester. He, with his brother Randal Vernon, settled on adjoining tracts of land in Nether Providence, and for some time occupied but one dwelling, at which the MM of the Society of Friends in early times, were frequently held. He was an exemplary member of the society and a good citizen. Thomas had not entirely escaped religious persecution in England. He died 10-25-1689, and his widow, Elizabeth 3-24-1714. Their son, Thomas, born ca 1670, died 11-4-1754, married 8-13-1702, Lydia Ralfe, and had the following children; Thomas b 5-23-1703, d ca 1760; Lydia b 1-13-1706 m Nathaniel Ring; Jonathan b 4-3-1707, died young; Jonathan b 6-11-1708 d 1785 m. 8-19-1838 to Ann Cloud Engle; Nathan b. 7-10-1710; Esther b 8-10-1712 m Abraham Ashton; Nathaniel b 12-5-1714 m. 7-13-1744, Mary Engle Salkeld; Hannah b. 1-3-1716/7 m. John Calvert; Mordecai b 2-3-1720 d. ca 1792, settled in Marlborough and had children - Lydia (Hall), Mary, Elizabeth, Mordecai, Thomas James, and Hannah. Nathaniel (sheriff) and Mary Salkeld Vernon had children - Thomas, John, Job, and Frederick. He was a tavern-keeper at Easton, 1754. His property was confiscated on account of loyalty to the British crown. Job Vernon , Capt.. in the Rev. Army, was born in Lower Providence, ca 1750. He entered the army at the commencement of the Rev. war and served faithfully and without intermission until its termination and the disbanding of the army. His name appears in the lists, printed by order of Congress, of officers who served to the end of the war, and thereby acquired the right to Half-pay and bounty lands, and also as one of the founders of the Society of Cincinnati. He was commissioned ensign in Capt. Thomas Church's co of Col Anthony Wayne's Pa battalion 1-5-1776, and was promoted to be lieut. in Capt Thomas Robinson's co of the same battalion 10-1-1776. In 1779 and 1780 he was paymaster of the 5th Pa REgt. which was then commanded by Col Francis Johnston, and in which he also held commission of Capt.. This regt.was attached to the Army of the North, and seems to have participated in all its services up to the storming of Stony Point. Capt, Vernon died in Concord twp c! a 1810. From fragments of his accounts and other documents in the possession of a relative, he seems to have been an intimate acquaintance and favorite of Gen. Wayne, and was a very brave and judicious officer. Frederick Vernon, maj. in the Rev. army, perhaps a brother of the preceding officer, was also born in Lower Providence; but nothing of his personal history nor any account of his military services is known to be preserved. His name appears on the lists above referred to as one who served faithfully to the end of the war, and he was also one of the founders of the Soc. of Cincinnati. He was a major in the 1st P Reg. of Infantry.

First of all apologies for some of the formatting that appears on the list - due to having to send things to the lists in plain text. One of the reasons that I do have the website and most of you will want to go to the website after I''ve added Randy's postings, his narration and usually additional notes that I've added. Since the website is not confined to plain text formatting, it may be easier to follow and everything may be viewed at once. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/wilmer_job_history.html Since this site could be quite long before we're finished, I've also made links at the top of the page which will take you directly to the various postings - so from now on, I'll be giving the newest link. (no more having to scroll the entire site) The link for the 2nd posting, with Randy's comments, and mine http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajobebrown/jobe/wilmer_job_history.html#2nd My comments today are quite brief. Within Randy's notes, I made an actual link to Mary E. Ireland's article that appeared in Scribner's Magazine May 1876 pg. 61-64. You can click on the link and go directly to the article and since it is pdf format, enlarge to any size. Within my notes, I've added an explanation and link to the Historical Society of Delaware. Has anyone on the list ever been there? If so, please give us your experiences and what you thought about the place. It really sounds like a place that I would like to visit. Ann (Jobe) Brown

As I've mentioned before, there is no Jobs or Jobes Rootsweb lists, though there are message boards, with no administrators. These 2 queries were recently posted on the Jobes board. If you had family in these areas, you may want to take a look or contact Ramona. The links below will take you to the postings in the Jobes message boards.

Thomas Vernon Job married the famous Elizabeth runaway girl Elizabeth Maxwell who has been the subject of articles in some of the leading periodicals of past years. See Scribners of may 1876, a cut of Defoe and chair are in that number. She was a niece of Defoe (Daniel) the Quaker author of renown, notably Robinson Crusoe, and other works. Being thwarted by her widowed mother and her uncle in an engagement of marriage she revenged by leaving a home of comfort and luxury, and clandestinely came to America, giving no clue to her whereabouts until after the marriage, when she did write home---her mother was dead. Her uncle Defoe immediately informed her of the death of her mother and that was thereby heir to considerable property and sent her an inventory of the same; her also forwarded some articles of personal property with the request that she would preserve them with special care. "That they had descended to the family from their Flemish ancestors who sought refuge under the banner of Queen Elizabeth from the tyranny of Phillippe." One of the articles a chair is now in the "Historical Society of Delaware" at the city of Wilmington Del. Another is in the possession of James Trimble of Fairville Chester Co. Pa. Other articles were some years ago were held by Hannah and Ann Kirk , family connections who resided near the "Brick Meeting House", a Friends church from which a village in Nottingham Twp. Cecil Co. Md. Took it's name. Thomas Vernon Job appears to have been a quiet man of domestic habits and agricultural pursuits, content to live and die at the old Homestead; He died in 1780, his wife survived him retaining her vigorous health, sound mind, indomitable will (Defoe), love of flowers. And vivacity of wit and spirits, till her death in 1782. (Note by M. W. Blair--- The children of Thomas and Elizabeth are not named except Archibald, there seems to have been a son Daniel and daughters Sidwell Hays Wilson and others: see page __ for Daniel and descendents including Archibald, given by error for Morris on page __.) RANDY Almost all of the entirety of this post can be traced to Mary E. Ireland's article, The DeFoe Family in America , which can be read online. It was published in Scribner's Magazine May 1876 pg. 61-64. See JOB, JOBE, JOBS & JOBES for information on the daughters of Thomas Vernon and Elizabeth Maxwell Job (Ann Job Sidwell, Lydia Job Wilson and Catherine Job Wilson) as they are not mentioned again in this document. I will reserve discussion of the Haynes, Trimble and Kirk families for later posts. RANDY Here also you will see the first interjection by Morris William Blair, confirming that this essay of sorts is a combination by two historians. This leads me to believe me this is a draft of several histories by Blair using Wilmer's original document and correspondence. At this point, I leave it to the reader to decide and will revisit it at the end of the postings. RANDY From the first posting, the Ernest Blalock listed on the title page is William Ernest Blalock, son of Robert Pierce Blalock and Mildred Ursula Squires. Mildred being the daughter of James William Squires and Lucy Jobe, daughter of Levi Jonathan Jobe and Caroline Gill, Levi was the son of James Emsley Jobe and Mary Catherine Isley, James being the son of Jonathan and Esther Whitt Job, son of James and Ann Crosbie Job, son of John and Elizabeth Ruggle Job, son of Thomas b. 1710 and Mary Job of Chester County, PA.
