Biography
Job Alcock immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).
Job Alcock , reported by Savage as of York in 1666, was born either in this country just after emigration, or shortly before in Engand, as he was not old enough to sign the submission to Massachusetts in 1652. He was Lieutenant of the militia in 1677, and a magistrate under authority of Massachusetts in 1 678. In 1 68 1 he became captain, and ten years later had risen to the distinction of Councillor of New Hampshire, appointed by William and Mary. In 1697 he was appointed Assistant Judge of the Superior Court of Pleas of New Hampshire. In the Provincial Papers of New Hampshire (1704), the following account occurs : Job Alcok, his debenter am^ to 1. 8. 2. for oars for her Majesty's service." His will, which is datedl 2 December, 1712, and was pro bated 1716, contained tliese bequests: To cousins John Snell [son of George? and Hannah (Alcock) Snell, his sister] and Joseph Banks and John Banks [sons of Richard and Elizabeth (Alcock) Banks, his sister ], my farme at York provide^ that Richard Millbree who now lives upon it has the refuse " ; to Robert Walker and Wife ; to Abigail Walker, " my lands in England, which was her aunts desire " ; to Samuel and Joseph Alcock, Mary Wheelwright and Hannah Littlefield. (Rockingham Probate Records.) He left a widow Dorothy, who may have been a Walker, the " aunt " of Abigail. I do not know who Samuel and Joseph were ; perhaps sons of Captain Samuel of Portsmouth, mentioned above. [1]
