But Sherman passed it forward. In 2000 after my husband Thomas Caruthers Jobe died Sherman sent me an email about the family. I thanked him kindly and forgot it until Tom's niece was so very interested. Sherman and Ann were so kind and I learned so much and now i have papers stacked up on all the research on different lines from my mother's mother and father. Don't know whether to thank them or cuss them! Actually, it is to thank them. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 5:36 PM Subject: [JOB] Sherman Jobe lineage > My connection is the North Carolina Jobe path.
