Research

Job appears as head of household in the 1774 census of Rhode Island^[1]. Actually, two Jobs appear in Portsmouth, and there is no good candidate for the second Job. As discussed at father Job's profile, it may be that the second Job is the father and that his death date of 1767 given by Almy and Almy is an error. A third possibility is that the household with no children is just housing laborers and that both Jobs listed are actually the same Job.

The distribution of the two households and inferred attributions are

• two white males over 16: Job and unknown
• three white males under 16: brothers William, Peleg, and Isaace
• two white females over 16: stepmother Katherine and sister Alice
• two white females under 16: sister Rebecca and unknown
• two black males over 16: unknown
• two black males under 16: unknown
• two black females over 16: unknown
• one black female under 16: unknown

and

• five white males over 16: unknown
• three white females over 16: unknown
• one Indian male under 16: unknown
• one Indian female under 16: unknown
• one black male under 16: unknown
