WORKMAN FAMILY HISTORY
Ref: Phoebe (Long) Klee was the daughter of Margaret (Workman) Long
The name of Workman appears in it's various forms in England from about 1535 according to the Workman Family History by Thelma Anderson. This genealogy concerns the descendants of John William Workman, who, it is believed, emigrated from England to Amsterdam, Holland to escape religious persecution during the time of the Puritan upheavals. In Holland, the family integrated into the social and religious way of life of the people there and adopted the Dutch form of his name - Jans William Woertman. His descendants did not change the name back to Workman until the early 1700s.
In 1647, Richard John Workman (Dirck Jans Woertman) emigrated to America and settled in New Netherlands (Brooklyn, NY). His son, John Derick (Jan Derick) moved to Somerville, New Jersey in 1699, and sometimes before 1704 to Raitan, New Jersey, and then later to Pluckemin, New Jersey. The migration of this family west began sometime before 1750 when they settled in Frederick County, Maryland (now Allegheny Co.) on the Pennsylvania-Maryland border north of Frostburg, Maryland. The younger men enlisted first in the Pennsylvania militia and later in the service to fight the Revolution in the cause of Liberty. About 1799 some of the sons of William P. Workman moved to Belmont County, Ohio.
WORKMAN MEMORIES, LORE, AND LEGENDS
1. As early as 1650, a Dutch explorer, Cornelius Van Tunhover, described the area around Somerville and Raritan, New Jersey where John Derick Workman (2) and family moved in 1699 as follows: A valley where the fattest deer roamed and 60 pound turkeys could be had for the shooting. This land, he said, was the Pleasant and handsome place a man had ever seen. Huge pines, oaks, chestnut, and hickory trees grew there and a glistening river (Raritan River) meandered through the meadows and fields of corn.
2. Phoebe (Critchfield) Workman's (4) sister, Hester, married Stephen Workman, a cousin of her husband, William. It was reported in the record of "The Clutter Family" by Clarence Stafford that Hester's and Stephens two daughters were stolen away by the Indians in Maryland, but were later returned to their parents.
3. On August 28, 1776, Isaac, Stephen, Joseph, John, Jacob, and Andrew
Workman all joined the service, declaring themselves to be for the cause
of Liberty. Jacob and Andrew were sons of Abraham (3).
