ABRAHAM WOMACK

The deed probably says "376 acres" not 326, and was mis-transcribed in the book I found it in.
Abraham Womack who married Elizabeth Stubblefield moved from VA to Orange Co, NC, the area which later became Caswell Co, NC.
Pittsylvania Co, VA was formed frm Halifax in 1766/1767.
Henry Co, VA was formed from Pittsylvania in 1776/1777.
