Biography

From descendant/researcher Alan Sparks in March 2000:

• "there is still a building attributed to Abraham's son Abraham standing on this very land. The land Abraham owned contains 2 Jobe family cemeteries within a mile of each other. They both contain several Jobe burials and one is the cemetery noted in Ann's original notes suggesting Abraham is buried in the Jobe Family cemetery in Moniteau Co.,. Add to these facts the Old Salem cemetery, where the younger Abraham Jobe and his wife are buried with large, beautiful stones, is within a couple miles of the other cemeteries.
