General Notes: Husband - Gen. Samuel Workman

---

In 1819 he assumed the editorial management of the Reporter, while his brother-in-law, William Sample, was acting as prothonotary. He was treasurer of the county in 1822, sheriff from 1824 to 1827, member of Legislature from 1828 to 1830, and secretary of the landoffice under Governor Wolf.

He was editor of the Washington, Pennsylvania, "Reporter" from 1819 until 1821, and during that time showed that he was a fearless and effective writer. Upon leaving journalistic work he entered the militia and rose through the various ranks to Brig.-General. On Aug. 11, 1821, he was appointed county treasurer by the commissioners, was reappointed the two succeeding years, and at the October election in 1823 was chosen sheriff, and being commissioned on the 25th of that same month, he resigned the treasurership. He was elected a member of the State Legislature in 1827, re-elected in 1828 and 1829, and on May 11, 1830, Gov. Wolf appointed him secretary of the land office, to which he was reappointed in 1833, and served in that capacity until May 10, 1836. He was appointed postmaster of Washington on Mar. 23, 1839, and served until Dec. 24, 1840, and on Jan. 4, 1841, was again appointed treasurer of the county.
