Revolutionary War Service ![]() In 1775, Job volunteered for duty in Surrey Co, NC, for a tour of six weeks. The troop ultimately marched to Campbelltown settlement, in NC, on the Cape Fear River, where were they were stationed until they were discharged. During 1775, Job volunteered several times to go against the Tories, but the skirmishes were each of short duration, ie., less than two weeks.

In Feb 1777, he moved to Wilkes Co, GA, re-joined the service and was stationed at Heard's Fort (a stockade built by Stephen Heard, in about 1774, Washington Co, GA).
