The marriage of a John Jobes with possible connections (no proof) is found in Stewart Co., TN which is located on the Kentucky border also where the Tenn. & Cumberland rivers cross. It is reported here one John Jobes married Sarah Hobbs 6-11-1851.

Another possible connection of this same union is found in the Will of Joseph Hobbs filed in Guadalupe Co., TX in 1863. His Will refers to "Sarah E. Jobs daughter of B. G. Hobbs deceased". Benedict G. Hobbs was a son of Joseph born about 1814 in Indiana.
