George Womack, son of Thomas Womack and Louvisa Rice

George Womack, son of Thomas/Louvisa, is not generally recognized as such. However, there are records of George in Rutherford Co, NC, in Warren Co, TN, and he is next to his brother Abraham Womack in the 1830 Census of Pope Co, IL. His wife was Margaret LNU. This Margaret has been claimed as wife of James Womack, George's brother, but that is incorrect.

George Womack - born 1780-1790, NC, died before 1840
Margaret LNU - born c1794 SC
George Washington Womack - c1820 TN
John G Womack - c1823 TN
Sarah J Womack - c1826 TN
Shepherd F Womack - c1827 TN
Green B Womack - c1831 IL (moved to Nebraska)

Sarah J Womack Mick thought to be dau of George/Margaret because she fits with girl in HH in 1830 and 1840, she is near her brothers in 1860, she had son named Green B.

This is an interesting new theory. My ancestor was Green B., dob 1832, son of Margaret and either George or James.

What reason do you have to think that Thomas and Louvisa had a son named George? What makes you think he, rather than James, married Margaret?

What happened to James? I had some correspondence a few years ago with Beth Howser. She said that James died in Pope County, but I don’t know if she had a source for that.

I found George in the 1830 census as you mentioned, and the ages all seem to match fairly closely. Of course Margaret is widowed by 1840. Do you think the older woman living with Margaret in 1840 could be Louvisa? She is about the right age.
