1800s VA>IN, John L.
Are there members of the John L. and Sophia Workman family who left Virginia for Indiana?I have wondered if my great grandfather, also a John L. Workman, was given that name to honor a relative of an older generation.A gap is created by the geo-distance between VA and IN-IL, however.My great grandfather was born in Illinois in 1850 and said on F. Cen. that his own father was born in Indiana.There was a John L. Workman b. 1824 in VA who settled in the Adams Co., IL area but that is on the far western border of IL.Also, that gentleman married after the birth of my great grandfather.
