Martha Womack Bean - Bible Record

Martha Womack was married to Robert Bean. A grandson, Lemuel Beene (1 Nov 1812 - 16 Jan 1884), fought in the Cherokee Disturbance circa 1836. Lemuel's widow, Easter (Fraiser) Beene of Alcorn Co, MS, applied for his pension. The Bean/Beene Bible record was included in the pension application.

My main concern is the Bible record included with this pension application, so my notes are sparse on other matters. Anyone sufficiently interested can order this pension application from National Archives with info below.

Will of Abraham Womack, 1803, Lincoln County, North Carolina

I transcribed this will mostly as is, keeping the spelling and punctuation. The will was divided into paragraphs, and the only thing I added was an extra line between paragraphs.

See notes following the will.

Notes on this will

This will has been transcribed before, see Womack Wills and Inventories, though some words are missing, and a few are mis-transcribed.

This is a "loose will", not recorded in the Lincoln County will books. As such, it is the original, and the signature of Abraham Womack is actually his signature. Likewise, the signatures of the witnesses are original. Abraham did not actually write the will, but dictated it to someone else, since handwriting is so different.

The signature of Abraham Womack seems to be from a shaky hand. Since Abraham was close to or slightly over 100 years old, this make sense.

The name of the third witness was definitely John Robinson. The other signatues are harder to make out, but I think they were John Beati (sic, Beatty) and H L Hager.

Perhaps one reason this will was not recorded is that is does not name an Executor, as was customary. Lincoln Co, NC court records of the time do not mention Abraham's will being probated. From dates on the will, we can place Abraham death between 4 Aug 1803 and 5 Jan 1804. Several places have his death incorrect as 16 May 1800, impossible since he wrote his will in 1803. His son, Abraham Womack Jr, died 6 May 1800 in Caswell Co, NC, and perhaps this is the source of the mistaken death date for Abraham Sr.

I do not think Margaret Hager was a relative of Abraham Womack, though he left her money from the sales of some his property in his will. I think she may have cared for him since he was so old. She was possibly paid to do so by Abner Womack, who moved to Kentucky in 1797. By coincidence, an Archibald Womack from the Richmond, VA area came to Lincoln Co, NC in the early 1800s and married there Sarah Hager. This Archibald Womack was only very distantly related to Abraham Womack.

Note that at the time of his death, Abraham Womack owned no real estate. He had purchased 160 acres in Tryon Co, NC in 1772:

Tryon Lincoln Deeds, Volume 1
Pp. 694—695: 23 1772, JOHN REED of Tryon Co., to ABRAHAM WAMMOCK of same, for lb 5 sterling …land on W side Catawba River, granted to JOHN BEATY, then conveyed to JOHN REED, 160 A…. JOHN REED (SEAL), MARTHA REED (SEAL), Wit: ABEL BEATTY, JNO. BEATY. Rec. Jan. term 1773.


See my NC Womack records.

In 1779, Tryon County, NC was divided into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, and ceased to exist.

In Lincoln County Pleas and Quarters Court for Jan 1790, a deed from Abraham Wammock to Abner Wammock for 160 acres dated 25 Sep 1789 was proved by Jas. Reed. I have not seen the actual deed.

Abner Womack sold the land before moving to Kentucky:

Lincoln County, NC, Deed book 20:
266. 7 Nov 1797 Abner Womack (Lincoln Co) to Anderson Nunelly (same); for £80 sold 160 ac on W side of Catawba R; granted [no date] to John Beatty who sold to John Connelly who sold to John Reed who sold to Abraham Womack. [signed] A Womack; witness John Allen jurat and Abel William Dukworth. Rec Jan 1802. Book 20, p.403.


Abraham Womack had only some personal property when he died, and not very much worth anything.

I'll do some more posts on Abraham Womack's long life, with records in the Virginia Counties of Henrico, Amelia, and Prince Edward, and North Carolina Counties of Tryon and Lincoln. and why I believe he was about 100 years old when he died, but for now, I would like to address a few issues that researchers have noted with his will.

First issue is that he gives his Bible to a grandson James Womack, son of Abraham Womack, but from Abraham Womack Jr's Bible Record, we know that Abraham Jr did not have a son named James. I think that whoever wrote down the will as Abraham Sr dictated it made a mistake. It should have said "grandson James Womack son to Abner Womack". Abraham Sr's son Abner Womack did indeed have a son named James Womack, his eldest son, born about 1789 in Lincoln Co, NC, so about 14 when Abraham Sr wrote his will. There is reason to believe that Abraham Sr's Bible did go with Abner Womack's family:

Excerpt from Revolutionary War Pension Application (NC S30804) of Abner Womack of Butler Co, KY, his affadavit, 12 Nov 1832

{Swears} That he was born in Prince Edward County, State of Virginia, on the 7th January 1764. That he has record of his age at hand which was made by his father. That he lived in Lincoln County, North Carolina during his whole service and until 1797, when he moved to that part of Logan Kentucky which now forms the County of Butler where he now resides.


It would be great to find that Bible today! It probably went to Illinois with Abner's sons.

Another issue researchers raise is that Abraham Womack Sr fails to mention all his children in his will. In fact, as shown above, the reference to his son Abraham Jr was likely a mistake, so the only child he actually mentioned was his son Abner Womack. The simple answer to me is that Abraham Sr had very little property, and in his extreme old age was closest to his youngest son. The more complex answer was that he had three sets of children, by first wife Jane LNU, by Ann Blanton, and by second wife Elizabeth LNU. The three children by his first wife may have been estranged from him over the Ann Blanton affair, and he outlived one or two of them. The two children he had out of wedlock with Ann Blanton were not legally his heirs, and at least one or both were dead when he made his will. Although Abraham Womack Sr did not mention all his children in his will, there is sufficient evidence of his legitimate children, as well as proof of his illegitimate children (including Womack DNA testing and Blanton DNA testing).

The third issue that researchers have with Abraham's will is that the chancery records of his brother William Womack (who died without children in 1790 in Charlotte Co, VA) name Abraham as deceased before he wrote his will on 4 Aug 1803 - for example, this Charlote Court Order from 12 Mar 1803. The answer here is that Abraham's kin in Virginia had no contact with him since he left Virginia in the late 1760s, and they assumed that he was dead, which was a good assumption given that he was born circa 1706. The source of the information on Abraham and his family was likely his brother, Thomas Womack Jr (who administered William's estate), or possibly even Thomas Jr's widow, Mary LNU Womack. This is what they had to say about Abraham:

"Abraham Womack it is said went towards South Carolina a great many years ago, the oldest of the connection amongst us cannot remember him but understood of their relations that he removed as above..."


Note that plenty of mistakes were made in listing the families of William Womack's siblings. For Abraham's family, Elizabeth Womack Cawthorn, Mary Womack Spradling, and Abner Womack were remembered as his children, but Abraham Womack Jr was somehow forgotten, and this relationship had to be proved to the administrator of William Womack by Josiah Womack, son of Abraham Womack Jr.

Massanello Womack (Seal)

Witness Edmund Stone
James Wakefield
Jesse B Crocklin {???}

At a County Court held for Spencer County on Monday the 3rd day of September 1838 this invitory{?} purporting to be the last will and testament of Massanello Womack deceased was proved according to law by the oaths of Edmund Stone and James Wakefield witnesses thereto and it is ordered to be recorded and on the motion of Robert Jewell and William Jewell Junr two of the Executors therin named who made oaths thereto and together with William Jewell Senr their security entered into and acknowledged a bond in the penalty of $250 conditioned as the law directs Certificate is granted the said Robert Jewell and William Jewell Junr for obtaining as probate of the said will in due from William Jewell Senr the other executor named in said will appeared in court and refused to take upon himself then further of the execution thereof. Atteste Raphl Lancaster CSCC {Clerk of Shelby County Court}.

{Will is followed immediately by an Inventory on p.94 (6 Sep 1838), and a List of Sales on p.95 (13 Sep 1838) with the Jewell family appearing most often; no Womacks were buyers. The estate was settled 3 Sep 1839 on p.221 with a full list of credit and debits of the estate. Tom, the slave freed by Massanello, received his $50, and I believe he left Kentucky and was the black Thomas Womack (born circa 1812 in VA) in Clark Co, IN for the 1840 and 1850 censuses.}

John Warmack notes

My notes in {}. I copied Womack/Warmack references. Also, I am typing out some Sherrard/Sherrod references that happen to be on the same photocopied pages.

This is primarily about John Warmack Sr of Yazoo Co, MS. These are the records of his family in Georgia before they moved to Mississippi in the early 1820s.

Note that I think the William Womack/Warmack in these records was the father of John Warmack, but it may be his brother, or some records may be John's father and some are his brother.

John Warmack also had a probable brother, Timothy D Womack/Warmack, but I have found no records of him in Georgia, other than his Army service records that says he was born in GA (which I will abstract in another blog entry).

{This record is very important because there are almost no surviving records of Washington Co, GA, in addition to the early GA censuses also being lost.}

The petitions protesting the Yazoo Land Fraud survive and are substitutes for Georgia's lost censuses. Reproduced below are the signatures from the Washington County petition, now in the Telamon Cuyler Collection of the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscripts Library, University of Georgia Libraries. The petition is undated but presumably was signed in 1795.

Womack Land Grants in Montgomery County, Georgia

Wamack, Wm - Montgomery, Book G-5, p.471, 960 acres, 1809 [Plat Book WW, p.21, William Warmack].

Wammock, Jno - Montgomery, Book F-5, p.71, 650 acres, 1805 [Plat Book VV, p.39, Swift Creek, John Wamock].

Womock, Wm - Montgomery, Book EEEEE, p.402, 100 acres, 1803 [Plat Book DD, p.479, William Wamock].


Also, one land grant in Washington Co, GA which *may* be this William Womack, but since there were several William Womacks in GA at the time, it is hard to tell if this is the correct William Womack:

Womock, Wm - Washington, Book AAAAA, p.236, 50 acres, 1798.


The 1797-1798 tax list for Montgomery Co, GA is at the Georgia Archives Virtual Vault; William Wamock (on p.23) paid taxes on 700 acres.

Georgia Land Lottery Records - see my early GA Womack Records.

Note that John Wammock and William Wammock from Montgomery Co, GA registered for the 1805 GA Land Lottery but did not win.

In the 1807 GA Land Lottery, John Warmack and William Warmack from Montgomery Co, GA both won (John won two lots):

John Warmack Montgomery 54th Wilkinson 12 325
John Warmack Montgomery 54th Baldwin 7 64
William Warmack Montgomery 54th Wilkinson 27 171


By 1809, Wilkinson and Baldwin Counties had been divided into several smaller counties, including Twiggs and Pulaski, in which we find records of John Warmack's family. Note that an unrelated Womack family was in Pulaski Co, GA at the same time: David Womack (son of Abraham Womack & Martha Mitchell) was on the 1820 Census in Pulaski Co, GA, and he later moved to Gadsden Co, FL (see the book, Little River Pioneers, by Miles K Womack). So, there are some Pulaski Co, GA records that refer to David Womack's family, not John Warmack's family.

Early Twiggs Co, GA records are lost, and so are all census records before 1830. John Warmack apparently lived in Twiggs Co, GA in 1810, since when he sold his land in Montgomery Co, GA to Murdock McIntosh, the deed said John Warmack was from Twiggs Co. John Warmack had sons Benjamin Warmack and Joel Sherrard Warmack who begin appearing in Georgia records in the early 1820s. Also, there was a William Warmack who married in May 1815 in Pulaski Co, GA. Since John Warmack had a son named William who was too young to be married in 1815 (see later Mississippi records), this William Warmack was either John's brother or father.

Although early Twiggs Co, GA records are gone, John Warmack had dealings in Pulaski Co, GA (which at that time was adjacent to Twiggs, to the south of Twiggs), and luckily, records of Pulaski Co, GA have survived.

More Georgia Land Lottery Records - see my early GA Womack Records.

In the 1820 GA Land Lottery, Benjamin Warmack of Twiggs Co, GA, son of John Warmack, won:

Benjamin Womack Twiggs Bozeman's Habersham 10 164


In the 1832 GA Land Lottery, Elizabeth (King) Warmack of Pulaski Co, GA, widow of William Warmack, won:

The following marriage records appear in Pulaski:

Lucretia Womack - John Rodgers 23 Dec 1819 Pulaski
Martha Womack - George Little 2 Mar 1820 Pulaski


Lucretia and Martha Womack were daughters of David Womack (son of Abraham Womack & Martha Mitchell) who was on the 1820 Census in Pulaski Co, GA, and who later moved to Gadsden Co, FL (see the book, Little River Pioneers, by Miles K Womack). Thus, they are unrelated to John Warmack.

Also, Wyche Womack of Pulaski Co, GA, son of David Womack, won in the 1821 GA land lottery:

War of 1812

John Warmack may have been in the War of 1812, see Georgia Military Records War of 1812 (partial roster). Note that the page also mentions General David Blackshear, probably the same David Blackshear in Montgomery Co, GA records with the Warmacks.

This is everthing I have on John Warmack in Georgia. I will do another post on the records of John Warmack's family in Mississippi.
