This document shows Archibald Job and John White Jr., as the Executors of John White Sr.'s will, upholding a descision for his widow Agnes to retain 1/3 of his estate as stated in John's will. But it removes the stiplation that she would return any portion to the heirs, should she die or remarry as stated in his original will. We have John's will, this final descision, but not the beginning court proceedings concerning this matter. We also don't have a record of this marriage yet. If we did we could come close to a death date for Mary Job White.

These documents involve Archibald Job and James MacKay Jr. as the executors of John Hawthorne's estate. During his life, John Hawthorne sold property to John McKnight, but failed to record the transaction. This document makes it official. It is witnessed by Richard Bond, father of Morris Job's wife Lydia, and Timothy Kirk, son-in-law of Thomas Vernon Job's daughter Lydia who married Benjamin Willson...thier daughter Elizabeth married 2nd Timothy Kirk.

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?

This over-worded deed, yes it is a deed, straitens out 2 Wallace wills where Arch was Executor on both. It seems everyone died. This is a very tough read for even a seasoned genealogist to figure. I'll buy someone an ice cream to tell me the relationships between all the Wallaces mentioned! Is it 4 people? 5? There is a unique word used by Baruch Williams here that I have never seen before...enfeoffed & enfeoff. It means to invest with a feudal estate or fee, whatever that means. It is from the Middle Ages.----transcriber Nancy Thompson writes:
As best I can tell, Michael Wallace (1) in his will asked that wife Sarah Wallace and son David Wallace sell his plantation after he died. They didn't, so when David died, he appointed in his will Michael Wallace (2) and Thomas Wallace along with Archibald Job executors of his will and they finally got around to doing what Michael (1) wanted...selling his plantation. Michael Wallace (2) bought the property at auction. I can't tell how Michael (2) and Thomas Wallace were related to David; we'd have to research their relationships.As for enfeoff, it is indeed a French feudal term that I've generally taken to mean transferring possession of land.

Arch Jobe and George Wallace Deed
This deed is a Sheriff's sale of confiscated land once owned by Robert Alexander, who was convicted of treason. Then sold again for non-payment
"Fieri Facias" is Latin for "that you cause to be done". A Fieri Facias was a writ issued by the Assembly for the High Sheriff to take action against someone who owed debts that could not be recovered in the normal way. "Venditioni exponas" is Latin for "that you expose to sale". A writ of Venditione Exponas directed the High Sheriff to take the specific action of selling land, goods, etc. that he was ordered to take action on by a writ of fieri facias. In this case, the lands of Leonard Strows were sold by Archibald Job, High Sheriff.
