Michael Bacon and Mary Jeve (Jobo or Job) were married August 31, 1634 in Winston, Suffolk.
Their children:
Lydia Bacon born about 1637 in Winston.
Michael Bacon baptized February 16, 1639 in Winston.
Mary Bacon born February 18, 1640 in Groton, Mass.
Elizabeth Bacon born January 4, 1642 in Woburn, Mass.
Sarah Bacon born August 24, 1644 in Woburn, Mass.
Hi
I just want to let you know that the wife of Michael Bacon was not Jobo or Jobs.
Her surname was Jeve. Her father was Richard Jeve he was born in Steeple Morden, Cambridgeshire England. He was buried the 15 September 1636, Winston, Suffolk, England.
He was the minster of Winston. When I read the Record I knew he had to go go to a university.
I checked Cambridge and he did not go there. I checked Oxford University and found his name.
And read the information, my mistake, I did not make a copy of the record. I looked for it again and could not find it. That was just about two years ago.
The man that helped me was a member of the staff. The book I had used was not to be found.
In the record I found first said where Richard Jeve was born so I looked for the record but it did not go back far enough to get the name of his father.
The record of his school recorded his name as Jeve.
He penmanship was beautiful and he recorded the names of his children. The way he made the letter “A” could look the letter “O” but it had the little line going across the top part making it an A.
The letter V the way it was made could be mistaken for a lower case B. The record in the Oxford University book was a typed record and it agreed with what I had read in the Hand written record of Richard Jeve.
So would you please change the record you made in Find a Grave to reflect the the correct name of Richard.
Thank you very much

She was not Mary "Jobo" according to Douglas Richardson, “The English Origins of the Lakins of Mass.,” The American Genealogist (TAG), Vol. 70 (1995), pp. 147-148.

However, Torrey in "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" suggests Mary's maiden name was Jobs.
This is the first I have ever seen of Mary's surname of being Jeve. However I have seen it in other documentation, including baronetage books that her surname was Jobo, as well as birth records of the Bacons that are found in MA.
How do you explain the differences? Perhaps a different wife?

I could spend the rest of eternity changing Mary's last name back and forth on the suggestions of her descendants. The thing is this, if people had spent much time in English parish records one would soon discover there was no standardization in spelling, and as well would see that some of these record keepers were not very good at spelling at all, nothing to say of the hand writing it self. The results can be a wide variety of spelling and interpretation of spelling.
