"Caleb Job (b. 1704) was living on the South River Shenandoah north and east of present-day Overall, Warren county, Virignia where there were two waterways named after him. Present-day Overall Run was called Caleb Job's Mill Run in the Fairfax grants issued to Michael Hilligas on 10 March 1768 and to Andrew McKay on 23 May 1794. McKay's 261-acre acre tract had been surveyed on 22 November 1766. (according to Gray, Northern Neck Grants) Both of these tracts were located approximately two miles east of Overall, Virginia on Overall Run. The term "Caleb Jobs Mill Run" established that Caleb was operating a mill on this run before his death in 1750. The surveys for William Saffer's tract located adjacent south of Overall referred to Over Run as "Caleb's Run". The other waterway named after Caleb Job was called Calebs/Caleps/Cunningham Run and emptied into the South River about three-fourths mile down river, running north on both sides of U.S. Highway 340 to near Bentonville, Virginia. The run was referred to as "Caleps Run" in Ephriam Leith's 133 acre Fairfax grand and as "Caleb Jobs Run" in Josiah Leith's (George Leith's son) 214-acre grant. When these two tracts were sold, the run was referred to as 'Cunningham's Run' in the deeds."

The Leath (Leeth/Leith) Family History, Volume 1
by Leslie R. Waltman and Andrew L. Leathpage 6, "Caleb Jobe's will probated in June 1750, names his wife Barbara and four children, Samuel, Jacob, Nathan and Elizabeth Jobe. The three Jobe sons went to present-day Tennessee in the 1780's and are found in Sullivan County, Tennessee, records at an early date. We have no evidence of what happened to the daughter Elizabeth who appears to be the youngest of the Jobe children so was probably born ca. 1748. We speculate that she may be the same as the Elizabeth, b ca 1748, who married Josiah Leath, Ephraim's nephew, whose land adjoined Ephraim's."
-Ephriam Leeth was named in the will of his brother, George Leath in Frederick Co., VA. He was given the land where he now lives. Their father was James.-Ephriam Leeth made bond for title to the church wardens of the parish of Frederick for half of an acre of land when he had clear title to the land.' It appears that Ephraim Leeth lived on his portion of the 200 acres he inherited from his father James Leath
-Son, Samuel Job, and his family moved to Caswell Co, NC -which then extended to the Holston River. (Likely he was one of the 1st ettlers of those Virginians known as the Wataugua Association.--soon realized that this settlement was part of NC)
-Nathan Job, s/o Caleb Job, married Lydia McCorky probably in Shenandoah or Old Dunmore Co., VA-Samuel Job, s/o Caleb Job, resided in the Wataugua Settlement

-Ephriam Leith appeared in court in the 1770's in the case of Hite et a]. vs. Fairfax to claim this land which was due his father as an early settler of the Hite and McKay survey. Ephraim Leeth finally received clear title to this land in 1791, some six years after his death. The grant totaled 133 acres and was on Jeremy's Run. As Previously written, the land is located in present-day northern Page County, Virginia-Wataugua Settlement was annexed to NC. Washington District became Washington Co.-with Mississippi River as Western Boundary. After start of RW, Samuel enlisted as Private and became one of the hardy mountaineers of Washington Co., who under John Seiver & Evan Shelby, did valiant service against the loyalist and royal troops.
-Samuel Job, s/o Caleb Job, and his young sons left the Shenandoah Valley to join the Continental Army. He was 42. The Quakers asked him to resign; he refused and was therefore dismissed. During the war year, Samuel & his sons were quartered at the plantation of Richard Pryor in Louisa Co, VA. Samuel's sons Caleb & Daniel later returned to Augusta Co, VA after the war and married the red-haired Pryor sisters.
-The war had depleted the family coffers. The offer of gvt. lands in lieu of unpaid wages were accepted. (Large tracts of land were being given to the veterans for their services)Samuel Job, s/o Caleb, received Land Grant #189 (state of NC-now TN)-issued 24 Oct 1782 for 512 acres on Kendricks Creek in Washington Co, NC
-Ephriam Leith was given a receipt for selling one steer to the Continental Army
