Biography

ELIZABETH'S MARRIAGES:

There is some confusion on this line. There is the POSSIBILITY that Elizabeth Job, m/1 Jonathan Hayes, m/2 a Mr. Vernon, and m/3 a Samuel Hayes. Samuel may be the father of Elizabeth's children. We DO KNOW (from the Quaker records - listed below) that Elizabeth Job, d/o Thomas Job did indeed marry first Jonathan Hayes who died shortly after her marriage and almost immediately married a Mr. Vernon. It is NOT KNOWN whether there were any children from either the Jonathan Hayes or Mr. Vernon marriage. IF there were any children by Jonathan Hayes, there would NOT HAVE BEEN more than one and the child would have been born AFTER the death of Jonathan Hayes.

Though I have seen SEVERAL children listed for this Elizabeth - ALL seem to list Samuel Hayes as the father - but NONE have a marriage date of Elizabeth and Samuel!

Elizabeth was born about 1739.

• "London Grove, PA would be about 18 miles from the area of Old Swedes Church, Wilmington, DE. From the London Grove area they may have traveled down Newport Gap Pike (now Route 41) to Lancaster Pike (now Route 48) toward Old Swedes Church. Those were the "main roads" back then and still would be the most direct route!"
