Biography

Back Creek bottom land,
once called Hog Bottom,
where Dennis Springer and his family
lived in the mid-18th century
Job Springer[1][2] was born on 23 April 1758 in Frederick County, Virginia, probably on Hog Bottom, just north of present-day Glengary, Berkeley County, West Virginia, the youngest of eleven children and nine sons of Dennis and Ann Prickett Springer.
He is said to have married in 1769, but he would have been only about eleven years old in that year, and no source is given for the information.
Job moved to Georgia by the mid 1770s and lived there for over thirty years at which time he moved to Greene County, Alabama. He married three times. The name of his first wife, who bore him six children (two sons and four daughters), is unknown.

Job Springer, Sr.
Birth: 1750; Death: 1832, Greene County, Alabama, USA.
Job was on the Tax and Census records in Wilkes, Warren, Clarke, and Baldwin Counties[,] Georgia[,] from 1774 to 1809. He probably relocated to Alabama around 1810 where he purchased land in Cherokee Co.
Job and his 1st wife unknown had 6 children; Nancy, Job Jr., Anna, John, Mary, and Keziah.
About 1797 he married Lydia Bishop May, the widow of James May. Lydia May, daughter of James May and Lydia Bishop, married Job Springer, Jr.
In 1825 he bought land in Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama and in 1827 married Emily Foster.
He sold his land to son John in 1830 and moved to near Boligee in Greene Co., where he later died.
Job died in the Spring of 1832 in Greene Co., Alabama.
I believe he is buried in an unmarked grave in DeVille Estate Cemetery. This cemetery is on the very edge of his property.

From Ancestry.com I have an image of a transcribed copy of Job Springer's will. If anyone would like the image, please contact me. Basically it says he wills the household furniture to his wife as well as a sorrel mare and her property she owned before marrying him. He gives his oldest daughter Nancy Jackson, and other daughters (in order) Anna White, Mary Norsworthy, and Keziah Elder his property where he keeps his "corn cattle hogs". He gives his two "negros" Jack and Jessy to his sons, John and Job Springer. He appointed Ezekiel Miller his executor. Signed 16 Jan 1832. Witnesses: John Gilmore, Solomon McCalpin, John Springer. The mother of the daughters was Lydia Bishop B: 1752 in North Carolina. D: 3 Aug 1827 Greene, Alabama.
