This DNA test subject does confirm this unclassified individual does genetically descend from Daniel and Job's father Capt. Samuel St. John and Rebecca Olmstead but confirming which brother he belongs to, remains unclear. The popular opinion is that he is the son of Job, therefore we place him conditionally under Job until further evidence becomes available.
