Ann, Last week I sent you a note about a Jobe Harman here where I am living, Shiro, Texas and you agreed that Jobe Harman was probably named after his mother's family - after searching real hard, I have not been successful. I appreciate your help. Now I have run across another possible Jobe connection and this time it is Jobe "Doss" Francklow. Again I am thinking that his mother's maiden name was Jobe but his mother was Barbara Margaret Taylor Rikard. I did find out that Jobe "Doss" Francklow was born in 1863 in Lexington, Lexington Co., South Carolina. What I am now wondering is this - do you have a Rikard or a Taylor in your file and possibly linked to a Jobe in the South Carolina area? I sure hope to discover a link to this area. Thanks, Stan Jobe
