Research Notes

This profile has shows born Rhode Island, spouse Francis, the War of 1812, and died Nova Scotia. This may be a combination of two different Job Cards because:

1. The marriage to Francis was in 1775 in Nova Scotia.
2. A Job Card appears in the 1790 and 1800 US censuses in Rhode Island.
3. A Job Card appears in Nova Scotia census records from 1791 to 1795 and in 1838.
4. The military records for 1812 indicate Rhode island which would coincide with the US census records.
5. The Job Card in the family tree that was sourced below, does not show a daughter Nancy.
6. There is a Find A Grave: Memorial #96240811 for Job Card 1723-1802 (no grave picture and unsourced), born/died/buried in Rhode Island, married to Martha. Perhaps the Job from the US Census records?

A Job Card appeared in the 1790 and 1800 US Censuses in North Kingstown, Washington, Rhode Island, United States and then he appeared in the 1810 census in Charlestown, Washington, Rhode Island, United States.
