    Married to Hannah Harmtje     		It is believed that John William Workman emigrated from England to Holland in the early 1600s. All of the children left Holland to come to the New Netherlands in America. At this time the colony was under the judicial powers of Peter Stuyvesant. This area was not named "New York" until 1664 when the area was captured by the English. Elizabeth and her husband were among the first settlers of the town of Bushwick (now in Brooklyn) and Richard and Annetje made their home in what is now Brooklyn, Kings County.

    WORTMAN TO WORKMAN

    Closely related, with the same background and carrying the same traits of thrift, industry and the onward look, their descendants converting the Dutch Woertman or Wortman to the American and English Workman, at least two men and their descendants moved on from New Jersey to expand the westward moving boundaries of a new nation. With the Dutch training in frugality and the English love of liberty they taught their children that basically they were English in heritage and that their forefathers had gone to Holland for their religious con¬victions. This refrain is echoed strongly in all parts of their families, no matter how separated they became through the years to follow. Although some of the descendants of the early Woertmans chose to retain the Dutch form of the name, by far the majority reverted to the English form, lending credence to the claim they made.
    The founders of the families of this story were Abraham Workman Wo8 and Isaac Workman 2.

The fact that his mother's maiden name was Andries or Andrews and that his eldest brother was named Andrew may account for the belief. Abraham married Abraham's 'family was born and raised in Somerset Co., New Jersey, but by the time the youngest were teenagers, same of the group, following the lead of Abraham's cousin Peter16H and others of the family, had started westward. As early as 1756 his sons were enlisting in the Militia of Pennsylvania, going there, no doubt, from old Washington County, Maryland, which was just over a state border und not yet protected by militiamen.
    Whether Abraham and his wife died in Pennsylvania or Maryland is not known. The records of that area having been lost or destroyed has made it difficult to determine these facts. For this reason it has not been possible to identify all of the children of the family which was known to be quite large.
