H/O NANCY JANE (SIMMS) 02 APR 1804.When Job Westover was born on April 2, 1773, in Plymouth, Sheffield, Massachusetts, his father, Job, was 30 and his mother, Rachel, was 28. He married Nancy Jane Simms on April 12, 1804. They had 11 children in 22 years. He died on April 1, 1838, in Potosi, Missouri, at the age of 64, and was buried there.

They were among the first settlers in Missouri

and as far as known the oldest grave in the Cemetery. There is a duplicate record showing him in the City Cemetery and is likely correct but confusing as there is no boundry, no fence and no sign for the City Cemetery. My GGGGGrandfather, I have been there, I'll leave this record as is thank you Larry
