p. 236 In 1752, Job is listed with his father Jason on the tax list for Lunenburg County, Virginia, implying that he was living in the same household as his father, and that he was between the ages of 16 and 21 [estimated birth date of 1731-1736]. He did not appear on the tax list for 1750, although both his father and two older brothers (Jason Jr. and Lewis) did, suggesting that he turned 16 sometime between 1750 and 1752 [estimated birth date of 1735-36]. p. 222 14 May, 1781 - Samuel Mobley, planter to Job Meador. Whereas a grant bearing date 24 Jan 1770 was made to Thomas Meador for a tract containing 200 acres in Fairfield Co. on a branch of Beaver Creek and whereas 160 acres of it was conveyed from said Thomas Meadors to s. Samuel Mobley 21 pounds being paid by said Job Meadors, therefore a deed is executed. Wit: Thomas Meador -- Jason Meador. Book I, p. 442 [Fairfax County, South Carolina] p. 227 Job Meador lived in Lunenburg Co., VA with the Moberleys. He is said to have died October 1822, age 101, in Fairfield County, SC [estimated birth date of 1721]. He received a land grant of 150 acres on Beaver Creek dated 17 Mar 1760. He was shown on the 1790 census of Fairfield District as Job Meadows 1 male over 16 years, 2 under and four females. He was one of the Bondsmen in the settlement of the estate of Elijah Beam in 1798.

- ↑ 18.0 18.1 There is a persistent family story that Job lived to be over 100, dying at the age of 103. While the story no doubt honours his longevity, it is grossly exaggerated.
If Job died in 1822 or 1823, for example, at the age of 100 or 101, he would have been born about 1722 or 1723, before his parents married. Estimated birth dates based on records when people are still young (and closer to the actual time of birth) are usually more reliable, as age was less likely to be exaggerated, and events like first tax payments more likely to be accurate. (See Hill for a calculation of estimated birth.) Based on Job's estimated birth date, which is consistent with early records, he would have been about 87 when he died.
