I have been researching the Workman family of Logan County, Ohio for many years. While in
Logan County several years ago I found a marriage record for a James Workman to a Hannah
Dowden, 29 March 1814 In Champaign County, OH.
The Historical Review of Logan County Ohio, states that James M. Workman married Hannah
McCulloch and that Simon Kenton Jr. was supposedly married to a Workman girl, but I have
found no evidence of this in the Logan Co. marriage records. There is, however, a
marriage record for a Simon Kenton to a Sally Dowden, 1 Dec 1818. So I guessed that Sally
may well have been a daughter of Hannah by a previous marriage.
Today I found a Bible record for the John & Jean (Biggs) Dowden family. In this Bible
it states that John Posey Dowden b. 18 Jul 1773 in Maryland married Hannah McCullock
(sec). So I do believe that Sarah/Sally Dowden is the daughter of Thomas P and Hannah
(McCulloch) Dowden. Thomas died 10 Oct 1810.
There is a deed (Logan Co, OH Deed Book B, p. 25) dated 27 Sep 1824 where Simon and Sarah
(Sally is a nickname for Sarah) sold their property in Logan County.
