  == Biography ==THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS FOUND ON AN ANCESTRY PAGE FOR AMOS WORKMAN, THE PERSON WHO ADDED IT IS LISTED AS JWORKMAN. I AM ADDING IT TO THIS BIO AS I FEEL IT MAKES VALID POINTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OR EVIDENCE TO ANY OF THIS, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT abakerowen@yahoo.com Questions about Amos Workman? This is to attatch questions about the connections and sources for Amos Workman's connections to William Workman and Phoebe Critchfield, along with marriages to Jane Matheny and Jane Conner. I am not going to question the marriage to Rebeccah ? at this time, as there is a source for marriage to her and it does fit with his timeline events. . I have been researching this branch of the Workmans and this particular Amos Workman for years always ending up with more questions than answers. I have found no solid evidence linking this Amos to William and Phoebe Workman. I have been in contact with other researchers as well- including Ralph Sayers and others. They were unable to find the connection either. . We did find evidence of an Amos Workman being in Monongalia county, Virginia in 1796. Amos Workman came from Allegany, Maryland in 1796 and on 4 April, he purchased 100 acres in Monongalia county from John and Rachel Aldridge. It is not known whether he lived there or not, but on 8 Nov. 1813, he sold the land giving his residence as Belmont county, Ohio. this information is from Ralph Sayers Workman Family History. Also in that history-. Stephen Workman and William Workman came to Monongalia county about 1798. On April 14, 1800 Stephen Workman purchased 250 acres known as London glades. There is no record of the elder, William purchasing any land. He posted a bond for the marriage in August 1807 of his son, John Workman to Mary Miller- daughter of Andrew Miller.. William Workman also posted bond for the 12 June 1816 marriage of Amos Workman to a Jane Matheny. In the records of Monongalia county, West Virginia marriages there is a record of a marriage: . Date & Groom- June 12, 1816/ Amos Workman Bride- Jane Matheny Daughter of is blank bondsman William Workman. Later information lists Jane Conner as marrying Amos Workman between 1816 and 1819? I am wondering if possibly Jane Conner and Jane Matheny are same person? Possibly, Jane Conner was married to a Matheny before marrying Amos Workman? I am suggesting this only because there seems to be a lot of discrepancy over the names and the marriages? I think this needs to be mentioned in any histories of this branch of the family since we have little or no information on either Jane Conner or Jane Matheny? . As to a connection possibility for Jane Conner, I did find a family tree for another branch of the family that contains Conner families? . Abraham Workman b. 13 nov 1779, son of Stephen Workman and Hester Critchfield, married a Grace Conner in 1784. This would suggest a connection between the Workman family and a Conner family? My personal thought right now is that yes, our Amos Workman was most likely a relative of the Workman/Critchfield branch and possibly Jane Conner was a relative of the Conners listed as connected to that family.. In going through my information for an actual burial place for Amos Workman, I did find that there was no burial site listed or found for him in Fayette county, Illinois, so the burial place listed in Belmont county, Ohio could very well be correct. . I just wanted to attatch all of these questions and discrepancies to this history because everyone seems to be linking our Amos to the William Workman/Critchfield line without any actual facts other than someone else's tree! == Sources == <references /> * www.workmanfamily.org/histories/AndersonBook http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/27914654/person/12110040054 Author: Janice Tomaschefsky
