These pages document the bond given for Archibald Job for his first term as High Sheriff of Cecil County. Notice the witnesses. Daniel Job and Sarah Job, his brother and his daughter! Yes, the Daniel could be his son, Daniel Defoe Job, but Daniel Defoe had just gotten married that year in Baltimore. So I speculate it was his brother who was closeby. Also because in the documents to come you will see Daniel the brother there. More speculation: Who is Margaret Campbell? Arch had a sister Margaret b. 1730 that we never found. Could she have married a Campbell?
