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

1725 Pennsylvania

1725- Joseph Conard is born to Cunraed Cunraeds & Ann Burson in Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

David Potts marries Elizabeth Jane Lane,  a daughter of Edward Lane of Perkioman, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Perkiomen was in the neighborhood of Gilberts Manor, and the Lanes and Jonas Potts family did not live far apart. Elizabeth is said to have been a woman of fair complexion, and was familiarly known as "Betty."

(Joseph Conard is my sixth great granduncle. David Potts is my sixth great grandfather.)
