Job Francis Dye was a Kentucky trapper who traveled with Ewing Young’s hunting group and arrived in California in 1832. According to George Nidever, Dye joined Isaac Sparks and Lewis Burton on the 1834 voyage of the ship Peor es Nada to hunt sea otters along the California coast. Dye may have been on the Peor es Nada in 1835 when the Nicoleños were removed from San Nicolas Island and taken to San Pedro.
