Not long afterwards, he moved to the mouth of White Oak Creek, across the creek from his cousin Peter Pritchard. He married Mary Ann Amos from Berea (where fellow Seventh Day Baptists lived), and she returned there after he died. They joined the Pine Grove Seventh Day Baptist Church on the South Fork of the Hughes River on Nov. 3, 1844, ten years after its founding. Five of Job's twelve children died in childhood. In 1852, Job relocated to Berea, and died in Salem in 1881, where he had gone just a few weeks before. His strong character and deep faith left its mark on his family, which included daughter Elmina Meredith and his granddaughter Addie Lawson. <A HREF="http://www.gencircles.com/users/terilynn/1/data/http://homepages.go.com/~mdmcginn/wv.htm#38">!Biography!</A> 1850 - Census, Ritchie Co., p. 241 (not 1790 or 1830) Marion Co. is next to Monongalia, near PA, Salem is in Harrison Co near Clarksburg, one of his daughters married Joel Bee, five of his twelve kids died in childhood, !BIRTH: LDS International Genealogical Index says Monogalia, VA and 1815.
