About Pvt Jacob Workman
JACOB WORKMAN born 1740 in Somerset Co., New Jersey; died 1821 in Bourbon Co., Kentucky.
He was a sharpshooter in the Revolutionary War having enlisted 26 Aug. 1776. He was also a notable and daring hunter of the savage mountains of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. His ability was such that he was called the "Daniel Boone" of Maryland.
Jacob's Revolutionary service was rewarded by the grant of title to Military Lot No. 3660, Fort Cumberland, Maryland, containing fifty acres of land, title to which was granted in the April Assembly of 1787.

it was probably not until after his revolutionary service, or about 1778, that he married ELIZABETH WYCKOFF (born 1755-8 in New Jersey; died in 1823-4 in Bourbon Co., Ky. Her two brothers John and Jacob Wyckoff followed the Workman move from New Jersey to Maryland and from there to Kentucky.) The first child of Jacob and Elizabeth was born in New Jersey and then the young family went to Allegany Co., Maryland where the rest of the children were born and raised.

Jacob Workman, born abt 1740 in Somerset, NJ (son of Abraham Workman (Woertman) and Annetje Smith), was a sharpshooter in the Revolutionary War having enlisted 26 Aug 1776. Jacob's Revolutionary service was rewarded by the grant of title to Military Lot No. 3660, Fort Cumberland, Maryland, containing fifty acres of land, title to which was granted in the April Assembly of 1787. Military Lot No. 3659 was awarded at the same time to his brother Andrew Workman (b abt 1742, Somerset, NJ). Andrew, however, neglected to pay the amount submitted by law and continued vacancy of the tract gave Jacob the right to buy this 52 1/2 acres which he joined to the other property to become a tract which he named "Brotherly Love." Jacob received patent for this tract of land 25 May 1801 having paid all fees. Of the other tracts, "Workman's Desire" was owned originally by brother John Workman (b abt 1734, Somerset, NJ) and later came into the possession of brother Isaac Workman (b abt 1736, Somerset, NJ). "Workman's Fortune" and "Workman's Sugar Camp" were both owned by Jacob Workman. By this account in Thelma C. Anderson's, Workman Family History, (Salt Lake City: Publishers Press, 1962), p. 28., I conclude that all four brothers served, but only Jacob and Andrew are mentioned as having proved their service and recieved land grants.
