Research Notes

The 1850 Census shows Elizabeth Kunkle in two locations and it is believed she was enumerated twice, once with her parents and once in the household of her future husband. Both are entered within the Sources ( Mulhausen-2 12:06, 4 December 2017 (EST) )

At some time, Robert changed the family surname from ' Job ' to ' Jobe '. The transition seems to have occurred between 1870 and 1880. This action may or may not have been documented 'legally', as no records were found collaborating the name change other than Census activity. ( Mulhausen-2 12:06, 4 December 2017 (EST) )
