Including an Ahnentafel chart which counts upwards listing ancestors of Maude Workman, my grandmother; and a Register which counts downward listing descendants of Amos Workman, my great-great-great grandfather. I did not include dates about any living persons, to respect their privacy. If you have information you would like me to change or add, please e-mail me at the bottom of this page. You may use this information for your own personal, church or family use, but not for commercial uses, please.
| To read this type of ancestral chart, double the number of the person to find that person's father. For example, #3's father is #6, whose father is #12, whose father is #24, and so on up the line of generations. As I hit an end-of-line (dead-end) those ahnentafel numbers will drop out, although the other parents' numbers continue on. When I find more information eventually (hopefully!), I will plug the new names into the page into the correct place, with their ahnentafel numbers now visible. |

To read this genealogical register of descendants, look at this example: + 10 M ix. Berrey Guffey was born 27 February 1860 and died 9 November 1935. The plus sign (+) means he has descendants, so you will find him and his own family of children later too, with even more info about him listed there, just look for the 10 again later in the list. Then you see his own "ID number (10)" then whether or not he is "male (M) or female (F) (U=unknown gender)" and then the Roman numeral means "which number child he is, within his siblings." He is the 9th child born in that family. i=1 ii=2 iii=3 iv=4 v=5 vi=6 vii=7 viii=8 ix=9 x=10 xi=11 and so on. If there are no + signs, it means that either that person had no children, or I don't have any information about any children (and I would like to know some!) |

MARRIAGE: Possibly married in Fairfield County Ohio. DEATH: death date may be 22 August 1845. Fayette Facts Vol. 5 No. 2 page 9 shows "Workman Isaac A. d 22 August 1855, aged 46ys, 6ms" That could be a transcribing mistake as he is not listed with his family in the 1850 Census and apparently died before. This Workman is buried Yolton Cemetery in Fayette County, along with other known Workman family members. NOTES: Isaac bought land in the Avena township on 6 July 1839 location Sec. 6 W 90.41 Acres.

"WORKMAN Mary 60, female, keeping house, born Ohio". Son's census form of one year stated mother born in Tennessee. Death: Other family records say she died about 1850. This is apparently not correct. She died after 1860 and she does not appear in the 1870 Census. NOTES: Two of her brothers Nathan and William C. OWEN and a half-brother George W. McCONKEY came to Fayette County. No burial place for her has been found.

I calculated her birthdate from the age on tombstone. Abraham and Jane had the following children: 40 M i. William WORKMAN was born 1850/1855. He died 6 August 1855 and was buried in Mt.

He was alive in June 1886 as he witnessed his wife's half-sister Jane Workman's wedding, at his home. (See her license.) Malinda also married (2) Emanuel KNIERIM on 11 October 1902.

It notes his two marriages, calling Malinda Workman "WETHERALL". He left two sons John & George by Agnes.

NOTE the different birthplaces! Son Isham in 1900 census list her as being born in Illinois too. NOTES: Photo exists of her tombstone, rather interesting one.

NOTES: Also have a death date of 1955 for him. That may be confused with his brother William, who died around 1955. Note that his brother William was born on the death date given for Noah. This needs to be checked out. In the 1900 Census his mother states 4 of 7 children are still alive. We know for sure that Jane, Isham, and William were; that Lyman probably was; so Noah and Jessie (born abt 1869) and an unknown baby are probably the ones who were dead by 1900. + 53 M viii.

Right next to her stone is two children without a last-name stone, "Samuel d June 8 1858 aged 25 ds" & "Sarah A. d January 1 1860 aged 4ms, 9ds" These could be his children also as the next stone is a WORKMAN stone also. These children would not show in either the 1850 or 1860 census because of birth/death dates. Lyman married (1) Mary Clear or CLEARY on 17 June 1856 in Fayette County, Illinois.
