Hi Gene, What you're asking for would be a dream come true for all of us searching for our ancestors - but sadly family members weren't listed on the census records until 1850 and birth records weren't kept until after 1867 in Knox Co. If someone can check the 1820 census for you - you will get the head of household and simply how many males and females of various age groups. Checking land records might help you for this early family. The only marriage listing I have for the Wogan surname is: Isaac Wogan m. Mary Harris d/o Abram __ Sep 1823 by John Davis, elder > > Surname: Wogan > ------------------------- > > Anyone having an 1820 Knox Co. census, Iwould like to know > the names of Daniel and Betsy Feagle Wogan's children, Either by census > or birth notices.

Michelle, My grandfather left Howard, Knox Co, 1896, and I have never been there! Some day, though, I a going to go there, and wander thru the townships, and spend a day in the Workman Cemetery in Danville. I can look at the map and see Workman road, #330 in Brown Township, but it does not go by the cemetery in Danville. Someone else can help. Myron

Steve, Some of the dates and info of Florence Herietta Workman's kids are different that in the Workman Book.Also some information there on the Whistlers. Here is the entry: "James Workman married (2) 5 April 1875 to AMANDA WHISTLER (born 20 Jan 1852 in Pike Twp., Knox, Ohio; died 4 Jan 1909 in Brown Twp., Knox, Ohio; dau of Samuel Whistler and Heneretta Goodman) and had children born in Brown Twp., Knox, Ohio: FLORENCE HENRIETTA WORKMAN born 17 March 1876; married 23 May 1897 in Union Two., Knox, Ohio to JOHN JACOB NYHART (born 23 May 1876 in Brown Twp., Ohio; son of Noah Nyhart and Ella Hall) and had children in Brown Twp., Ohio: Edythe Permelia Nyhart born 10 Dec 1898, married 25 Dec 1916 to Edward Shult; Howard Elden Nyhart born 28 March 1900, married in 1924 to Mabel Keller; Dorothy Ellen Nyhart born 25 July 1905, married 4 June 1926 to Donal Lamont Severn." Steve, 1-- there is no entry for the other child for Florence and John that you, ie a Nyhart, a son EDWARD. 2--You had no Howard Eldon Nyhart as a son 3--birth dates are subtlely different Finally, the entry in the book on James Workman, Florence's father, is very long, and first, wife, etc. and carries on to more generations, (but not for Florence). Let me know if any are interested. Myron

Cata (Catherine) would have been born about 1802 in PA, she died in 1845 and is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery, Auglaize Co., OH. I know there were earlier Niahart's in Somerset Co., PA and can share a bit of info once you've traced your line back that far. I descend from John & Catherine Niahart Harden. Thanks, Karen

Steve, William Robeson did have a sister Elizabeth, but I think she was born in 1784 in PA. Got this from familysearch.com...family of Hugh Robeson. Guess the connection just isn't there. Rosanne

Steve von Hitritz in Richmond, VA Here is Florence's ancestry as far as i have it (Hope it helps): Ancestors of Florence Henrietta Workman Generation No. 1 1. Florence Henrietta Workman, born March 17, 1876. She was the daughter of 2. James Workman and 3. Amanda Whisler. She married (1) John Jacob Nyhart May 23, 1897 in Union Twp., Knox Co., Ohio.

Notes for Solomon Nance Connor Workman: Courtesy Myron Hinrichs: In continuing with excerpts from the "Workman Family History," 1962, Thelma C Anderson, there are many entries about this church, called by various names, North Bend Church, German Baptist Church, and Church of the Brethern. Was not there some anniversary of the church on this site recently? The Founding of the Church involves Solomon Nance Conner Workman whose father, Joseph C Workman, is my GGGGUncle. Solomon was born in Alleghany Co, Maryland, in 1807 and died in 1888 in Brown Twp, Knox Co, in 1888. From the Book: "The Workmans came to Ohio when the country was thinly settled and wild Indians were still creating a problem. As a young boy Solomon N. C. Workman watched a block house being erected on his father's farm to protect the inhabitants of the community---------Eventually he secured title to 300 acres of land in Brown Twp and moved into Jelloway Valley in 1837 and concentrated on improving the land. In politics he was a Democrat, in religion a German Baptist. He was elected by his church to be the preacher but out of a lack charity for his own little faults he declined, saying, ""I believe a minister should teach by example as well as words.""-----------In May 1868 the original home burned wiht loss of practically all the goods. During the same year, Solomon built the home which still stands. In 1870 Solomon N. C. Workman gave a piece of ground on the northwest corner of his farm, about 6 miles north of Danville, for the erection of the North Bend Church and cemetary. This church has been the center of the activities of the Workman family in Knox Co for many generations." end of excerpt Myron Hinrichs 2 ii.
