THE JOB FAMILY Various spellings of the name Job and its derivitives found in old English records are Job, Jobe, Jobbe, Jobber, Joba, Jobb, Jobba, Joab, Jop, Jope, Jobson, Jobling, Juppe, and Chubb. Some Jobes were said to have come from Kent County, England. No one named Job was granted arms there. There was a family named Jobson granted arms in Essex County, which is just across the Thames River from Kent. Arms were granted to Job families in York and Lancaster Counties. Crests were granted to families with the name Job and Jope. The characteristics of the Job family were: great longevity, indomitable will and persistency, self reliance and self asserting, dry wit and good humor, fondness of books and flowers, generally married late in life if at all. The traits, more or less, have cropped out in their descendants down to the present generation. Description by M. W. Blair, Kossuth, Iowa, circa 1895 The Job name probably originated in the 13th century when the Mystery Plays made the biblical character popular. Tradition says the Job family of Pembrokeshire were descended from Flemish weavers that the English planted in the 11th and 12th centuries to build Britain's cloth trade. Some Job family members immigrated to Scotland and Germany and later settled in America. Description by Bill Jobe, Studio City, California, June 1988 Any help, corrections, and critiques will be appreciated. I am more than happy to share my info with anyone interested.
