BIOGRAPHY: 

In the History of Allen County, Barbara was listed as one of the first members of the Old Hartford Christian Church:

"Christian Church was founded March 31, 1867, with the following named members: William Moorman and wife; B. D. Harter, Sarah J. Harter, Eliza Moorman, Nancy E. Hill, Merritt Harvey, Eliza J. Harvey, Adeline Monroe, Anna Harter, and Barbara Workman. In 1868 a house of worship was erected at a cost of $1500..."

Most probably the Workman and Moorman families moved from the Clinton County area to Allen County, Ohio in 1845. There are many members of the Workman and Moorman families buried together in the Old Hartford Cemetery.

Clinton County was an early settlement point for members of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers. Many of the areas founding families arrived in the early 1800's from North Carolina. In 1870 the Society of Friends established Wilmington College of Ohio. The Society of Friends still maintains a large presence in the Clinton County area.
