JOB(E) LEGACY
Descendants of Andrew Job Jr
Albert Davidson-4 whites*Mary's father and some brothers are also listed on this same census.
JOB , Abram 1789 TN , Margaret 1805 KY , Melissa 1829 IL DAVIS, Mary 1829 IL , William 1846 IOWA , Melissa 1850 IOWA*The name Davis SHOULD BE DAVIDSON. **Mary and her 2 children are listed with her parents. Persumably, her husband has already left for California.
"A cousin of mine looked up Abraham Jobe when she was doing some research in Missouri. She found the petition of Margaret, widow of Abraham. She wanted her dower rights established. This was in 1867. He died 12 Jun 1859. Among the copies she sent me were some receipts signed by Melissa Jobe and William Bowles. Those receipts seem to be for rents on the estate of Abraham from A. Preen. ""Yes, I think the census taker recorded the name wrong. Albert and Mary were married in 1845 in Clark Co., MO. They have two children William and Eliza Melissa. On the guardianship papers, it states that Albert died ca 1853 in California. That Mary had remarried (doesn't say who to) and had since died. No mention is made of William. Melissa Jobe is established as Eliza's guardian in 1861."
"Some notes attached by my cousin that don't state what source she found them in say: Eliza Melissa Davidson (Job) 1852 minor heir of Albert and Mary Davidson. Rhodes-Wescott appointed guardian. Also William Jaspar Davidson, minor heir of Albert and Mary Davidson Rhodes. Wescott appointed guardian. This leads me to believe that maybe Mary married second a Wescott? or Rhodes Wescott?"
"At a later date Enoch French was appointed guardian to handle Eliza's affairs. It states that Eliza is the only heir"
"Another cousin sent me information on Eliza Davidson. She is the daughter of Albert Davidson and Mary Jobe (daughter of Abraham.) He went west in 1853 and died somewhere in California. In April 1861 guardianship was given to her Aunt, Melissa Jobe. Those papers say Mary had remarried and had since died. Eliza eventually married William Riley Bowles (my line).
