Job GARD was born in New Jersey in 1763. His son, Gershom GARD was born 2 Dec 1788 (DAR Papers) in Mason County, KY (According to Margie Gard GRAY). This would indicate that Job went West before his father's move to Ohio in 1790. Maysville is on the Ohio River about 50 miles East of Cincinnati.

Following his stay in Kentucky, Job GARD moved to Ohio in 1803, settling first at Cincinnati and afterward at Dayton, from which he moved to Miami County, where he was the first settler upon the site of the present city of Piqua, OH. In 1805 he settled in German Township, Clark County, Ohio where he spent most of his remaining days. "THE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF CLARK COUNTY OHIO" (1902) p. 320-21.

Job GARD and his wife Elizabeth had six (6) children: Gershom, Daniel, Simon, Rachel, Sarah, and Phoebe. Job was a veteran of the war of 1812. He followed wagon making and repairing, and lived to the then advanced age of 76, dying at Urbana 19 May 1829. He and his wife are interred in the Rector Cemetery near Tremont. (Ibid: p. 289. Ed Goddard has furnished an excellent photograph of Job's headstone).
