Sources

  • The historical information was taken from The life History of the United States Volume 2:1775-1789 The making of a Nation” pp. 99-101, published by Time - Life Books, New York. The Fall of 1781 saw Job and thousands of other Revolutionary soldiers journey back to their homes. Of course Job’s home at that time was on Bedford, Va. There he went back to farming for the next eight years. During this time Job’s daughter Rachel (probably named after Job’s sister), married Harris Standley. In a book I found in Archives in Charleston, West Virginia, Marriage Bonds of Bedford, County Va. 1755-1800” by Earl S. Dennis & Jane E. Smith,1932; pg. 64, I copied down this information: "Harris Standley and Rachel Martin September 28,1787, Joseph Martin, surety. Consent of Job and Elizabeth Martin, parents of Rachel.” Wondering what a surety was I inquired fo one of the assistants at the State Archives. She told me “that this person gave $150 to the state of Virginia for the bride to get married.”
