Job was a Friend (Quaker)

Contents

Biography

Job was a Quaker. Virginia Quakers were percecuted by colonal Virginia. Maryland Gov. Calvert invited them to flee to Maryland and gave them each 50 acres of land.The Truitt's and Timmons were early Marland Quaker families. And they married within their religion. [1]

In October 1705, Jobe Truitt was listed among many Somerset residents indebted to the estate of John Edgar. Edgar was probably an English merchant who was a middleman in the tobacco trade.[2] There are a number of other Truitt family members on the list:

Truitt, George, probably George Truitt 1465 lbs of tobacco; £0.11.1
Truitt, Phillip: 2022 lbs of tobacco; £5.14.1. Could this be Phillip Truitt? It is the largest debt in the group.
Truitt, Job 95 lbs of tobacco; £0.12.0
Truitt, James, possibly James Truitt: 67 lbs of tobacco; £0
Truitt, John: 1880 lbs of tobacco; £5.6.0; 565 (of another crop)

Marriages

  • Note: I think these two Marys are really just one woman: Mary Powell Timmons.
  1. Mary POWELL b: Abt 1660. m. in Accomac Co.,, VA (b. c.1660 Somerset, MD - d. c.1724 Somerset, MD).
  2. Mary TIMMONS b: Abt 1660 m.1691 in Somerset Co.,, MD [3]

Job was married to a woman named Mary at the time of his death, as his widow declined to be co-executor in 1730.

Job Truitt's Will

Job Truitt's will was transcribed into the Worcester County, Maryland, Will Books in the early 19th century. The transcription appears to transpose the Signing and Proving dates: 10 May 1730; Proved: 1 April 1730. However, Job clearly died in the spring of 1730.

The will makes bequests to:

-daughter in Law Pritheny [Partheny?] Truitt – the plantation where she now lives until death or remarriage, then to granddaughter
-granddaughter Levinah Truitt

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Job by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Job:

Truitt-138 and Truitt-109 appear to represent the same person because: Correcting the Jon to Job and moving to right George as father.

Dawn, I believe you are correct that this profile should be two generations back, either Job (1667) or John (1662), son of George Truitt and Alice Watson. OK to change this accordingly? See MilesFiles for some references.

Morning, Cuz' Dawn.. I am working on the error report and this is one...we get

"Warning: Check the data. A mother's death date should not be before one of her children's birth dates." ANSWER: Appears that Jon born 1672, his poor mom would have been 53 years OLD!... not sure mother nature would allow it, but it has been done... I think we need to find a source for this very late in life child....Taylor-25258 09:14, 24 April 2017 (EDT)

and then I looked at Jon's and it too has a WARNING... Thank you for your help Carole
