  == Biography == Birth: Sep. 7, 1736 Somerset County New Jersey, USA Death: May 11, 1836 Belmont County Ohio, USA Phoebe Critchfield was born September 7, 1736 in Somerset County, New Jersey, died May 11, 1836 in Belmont Co., Ohio. Phoebe married William P. Workman in 1762. The home of William P. and Phoebe (Critchfield) was on the Pennsylvania-Maryland border, hence the birth of their children shows both states. It was said that William could avoid tax collectors from either state by moving from one side of the house to the other. As the children of the family matured, they, one by one, answered the call of the west and as early as 1799 were establishing themselves in Belmont County, Ohio. It was not, however, until William was 59 years of age and his wife was 69, in 1805, that they made the journey from Maryland to Belmont County on horseback to join their family. They probably came by way of a wagon road which George Washington had surveyed. This road later became the National Pike - Route 40. When William and Phoebe arrived in the territory, their youngest son David, and an older son, William, helped clear the land of timber to build a cabin. On Feb. 14, 1811 they purchased 200 acres - the land being conveyed by Executor of the estate of Daniel McElheran. The deed was signed by William and by Phoebe, her mark. This proberty was located on what is now Winding Hill Road. A portion of the farm was set aside for the "Workman Hill Cemetery" (now Davis-Workman Cemetery) Phoebe and William are buried there, as are many of their descendants.
