About Abraham Woertman
Samuel Workman, Sr. is seen as the son of Abraham Woertman & Annetje Hanna "Anna" Woertman But there's a Y-DNA conflict. Descendants of Samuel Workman, Sr. test as R-A88 (Y-DNA) but "should" be I-FGC53464 (I-M269).

Records in PA indicates he had an agreement with a Philadelphia man to settle on a plot in the borough of Lancaster. After he failed to develop the land, it was resold. In 1758 he was a renter living in the borough of Oxford, Chester County, PA. It is believed he died in Chester County, PA. Some of his sons enlisted in military service in Chester County. One of them Joseph is believed to be the main ancestor of the early Workman families of the present West Virginia." from booklet by Samuel Paul Perry who gives credit to Sayre.
Closely related, with the same background and carrying the same traits of thrift, industry and the onward look, their descendants converting the Dutch Woertman or Wortman to the American and English Workman, at least two men and their descendants moved on from New Jersey to expand the westward moving boundaries of a new nation, With the Dutch training in frugality and the English love of liberty they taught their children that basically they were English in heritage and that their forefathers had gone to Holland for their religious convictions. This refrain is echoed strongly in all parts of their families, no matter how separated they became through the years to follow. Although some of the descendants of the early Woertmans chose to retain the Dutch form of the name, by far the majority reverted to the English form, lending credence to the claim they made. The founders of the families of this story were Abraham Workman and Isaac Workman. http://home.earthlink.net/~n3kpn8crd/Family%20Hist/workman_hist.htm
ABRAHAM WORKMAN, son of
- Jan Derick Woertman 7H (Dirck Jans3H John William 1H) and
- Anna Maria Andries (Andrews);
christened 27 April 1709 in Raritan, Somerset, New Jersey; later was a resident of Pluckemin, Somerset, New Jersey. The fallacy that Abraham was the son of Andrew was exploded completely in the references of the foregoing section. The fact that his mother's maiden name was Andreis or Andrews and that his eldest brother was named Andrew may account for the belief. Abraham married ANNETJE (ANNA) SMITH (who was christened 14 July 1706 in New York; dau of Able Smith and Tryntje Wybrantz.) Abraham 's family was born and raised in Somerset Co., New Jersey, but by the time the youngest were teenagers, some of the group, following the lead of Abraham 's cousin Peter 16H and others of the family, had started westward. As early as 1756 his sons were enlisting in the Militia of Pennsylvania, going there, no doubt, from old Washington County, Maryland, which was just over a state border and not yet protected by militiamen.
Whether Abraham and his wife died in Pennsylvania or Maryland is not known. The records of that area having been lost or destroyed has made it difficult to determine these facts. For this reason it has not been possible to identify all of the children of the family which was known to be quite large.
So far as known and proved, the children of Abraham and Annetje were:
- BENJAMIN WORKMAN born about 1727 in Somerset Co., New Jersey.

Abraham married and had a son Abraham Workman born about 1758. Abraham Workman, Jr., was married in 1787 to ANN .....................
