Notes - 22 sixth mo., 1702. Again Bill Jobe is inconsistent. In another part of his notes he lists Abraham's date of birth as "the 22 of the eighth month (think 8th month was considered November at that that time, the first month being April) 1702" Who could blame him for the confusion!!??
He was a Constable, Masauntiah, Augusta County--Bill Jobe
1736 To Shenandoah Valley with a hundred families, mostly related.
1739-40 Wife Sarah dies
1741 Told by meeting to Mary Elizabeh McKay, as she was pregnant. [By whom?]
1750 25 July, will probated by Henry Netherton, wife Elizabeth Executrix, bond signed by Robert McKay and Henry Netherton.
Death: 24th of eighth month 1750--Bill Jobe
Basically there is great confusion as to which children were born to which wife. Some believe that Elisha was Elizabeth's oldest child, but this would have made him too young to serve as the executor of his father's will which he did. Thus he would seem to be Sarah's child
Notes by Bess Reynolds sent to JET in Oct. 1986 and taken from the Chester Co. Pa Church records.
"1736, p. 103: 'Abraham Job req. certif. to meeting of Hopewell in Virginia settlement.'
"7 mo. 1739, p. 129: 'according to information from Opeckon [sic.] whereas Abraham Job (after he had obtained our certificate of M. m of Hopewell before he delivered in the same according to directions ran away to a priest in Va and was married to a daughter of Robert McKay he having had carnal knowledge of her before and doth not deliver. In his certificate nor give satisfaction
"20th of 8th mo, 1739, p. 131: 'Whereas Abraham Job (one of the Society of the people called Quakers having obtained our certificate to Friends of Hopewell in Va but before he delivered it was married to Elizabeth McKay, daughter of Robert McKay of the society, she being first with child by him which being a scandal to our profession and the said Abraham delaying to give satisfaction though tenderly labored with we do disown him from the Society.'
