Job Stiles Jr. is found on page 192 as Family 12 of Mary Stiles (Paul) Guild's 1892 book "The Stiles Family in America - Genealogies of the Massachusetts Family (Descendants of Robert Stiles of Rowley, MA) and the Dover, NH family (Descendants of William Stiles of Dover NH) (hereafter referred to simply as MSPG). His lineage ascends as follows:

Job Stiles Sr. (1715-1797) Family 5, page 178 of MSPG (memorial 81701855)
Robert Stiles Jr. (1675-1720) Family 2, page 174 of MSPG (no memorial)
Robert Stiles Sr. the Immigrant (1637-1690), Family 1, page 13 of MSPG (memorial 174454423)

Job Stiles Jr's second marriage to Dorcas Stiles is of particular interest. Dorcas Stiles was the daughter of Lt. Martin Stiles (Family 17, page 227 of Henry Reed Stiles' 1895 book "Stiles Family in America - Genealogies of the Connecticut Family, Descendants of John Stiles of Windsor and Francis Stiles of Windsor and Stratford, CT" (hereafter referred to simply as HRS). To my knowledge, this is the first connection between MSPG and HRS (i.e., the Massachusetts Stiles' and the Connecticut Stiles').

MSPG p. 193 states: "Job Stiles...m. (as 2nd wife), July 1, 1781 Dorcas (dau. of Martin and Dorcas (Adams) Stiles of Westfield, Mass. (Stiles' Ancient Windsor p. 789). The ancestry of Mrs. Dorcas (Stiles) Stiles will be found in the line of John Stiles - Conn. Family; her descendants, of course, belong to the Mass. Family, and will be found in their proper place." Similarly, HRS p. 228 states "Dorcas, born at Westfield, MA; married Job Stiles (WMS: Jr.) of Granville, MA, July _____, 1781."

Job's date of death is approximate. According to MSPG pages 192-197, Job had 6 children by his first marriage (Lydia) and two children by his second marriage (Dorcas). His youngest child Mr. Bliss Stiles was born 17 March 1788. He is almost certainly buried in Granville, Hampden, MA but the exact cemetery is unknown at this time.
