Descendants of Andrew Job Jr
"History of Old Tishomingo Co."
-- published in 1903
"Mr John Jobe, Sr. Among the many pioneers of Tishomingo Co., no one attained to greater confidence, nor made a better or more loyal citizen, than Mr. John Jobe, Sr. Fifty-five years of his long and eventful life were spent in this section, where he was always recognized as an honorable and upright gentle- eman. He was born in Lawrence Co.,, Tennessee, in June, 1801, and at the age of eighteen enlisted under General Andrew Jackson and served with that illustrious soldier and statesman in the many Indian wars of that period. After the cession of North Mississippi to the Federal government by the Chickasaws, and the passage of an act by the Congress of the United States providing for the survey of the newly acquired territory, Mr. Jobe was employed as one of the surveyors, and the latter part of 1833 and the whole of 1834 was devoted to the work. Mr. Jobe moved to Tishomingo Co., from McNairy Co.,, Tennessee, after the organization of the former, and settled between Danville and Corinth, in which neighborhood he continued to live until his death, which occurred in April, 1889, his remains being interred in Shady Grove cemetery. Mr. Jobe enlisted under Gen. Reuben Davis, when the first call was made for sixty-day troops, and went with his company to Bowling Green, Ky. At the expiration of the time for which he enlisted he returned home and did not again enter the army owing to his advanced years. Mr. Jobe's descendants are quite numerous in this section, and all have every reason for feeling proud of their worthy ancestor." *lived in part that later became Alcorn Co, MS)
