He had a nephew who was about the same age and entered the Civil War on the same day. It is easy to get the two mixed up. This Amos Workman married Mary Elizabeth Skaggs. (2) Mary Jane Workman, daughter of Amos and Jemima, was my great grandmother. If you have specific questions regarding this family, contact me directly. It is impractical for me to do a "data dump" of large files in this forum. (3) You can download my book, TRACKING THE PIONEERS III: A History of Workman Families of Southern West Virginia, from LULU.com free of charge. It is a good source of information on the early families.
