Hi Timothy,
I am Joseph son of Joseph Worman/Phoebe McMeher.
I think we are in the same family tree. My grandmother’s maiden name is Workman. A cousin of mine has been working on the family tree for both the Workman’s and Baldwin’s. The family tree stops at Abraham Workman abt 1716.
From Ralph Sayre’s book:
Abraham Workman was believed to live in the borough of Oxford, Chester County, PA in 1758, where he may have later died. Some sons enlisted in military service in Chester County, PA as early as 1756. One of them, Joseph, is believed to be the main ancestor of the early Workman families of the present West Virginia.
It would be interesting to compare family trees. I have noticed a few of the family members marrying other Workman’s.
I hope this was helpful. Sorry I don’t know much more about the different Workman and Woertman. I was wondering the same thing.
Thanks,
Shelby
