The Worland Family in America and Beyond

I began my life in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, on an island filled with forests and wild rhododendrons. I was separated from my Worland family there at an early age. Recently, I was reunited with my family and learned of my heritage. And so, this journey to know my ancestors began. The Worlands, Gideons, Newtons, Conards... they were the colonists, the settlers, the pioneers. They fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War. This is their story, and the story of a nation. -Deci Worland MacKinnon

Reconstructed dwelling at St. Mary's City archealogical site in southern Maryland.

1720- John Worland III is born to John Worland II & Stacey Robey in Charles County, Maryland. It is assumed that his first wife, Rebecca, was born about the same year. But, we know little about her.

James Robey is born to John Robey & Sarah Smallwood in Charles County, Maryland.

James Pike is born to Archibald Pike & Mildred Thompson in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Elizabeth Skeen is born in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Thomas Newton is born to Thomas & Katherine Newton in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Thomas Thompson & Jane Tant are married in Charles County, Maryland. Their son, Joseph, is born later that year.
