    MY NOTE (Ann):

    Who exactly is her father?

    ----Priscillia Young and John Jobe had seperated BEFORE the 1840 Lawrence Co., KY Census.
    ----Could her father be John Meeks?
    ----Elisha Wellman Jobe did NOT list her, along with Luvina, as a sibling
    ----1850 census does list her as Jobe
    ----She married with Job surname

    Since she used the Jobe surname, I have listed her as a Jobe descendant Here
