Elijah Thompson of Rutherford County, North Carolina

 Rutherford Co, NC Will Book E:63, LDS Film # 004779261, image 472/687.  March Court 1840.  Will of Elijah Thompson, dated 4 Dec 1839, mentions wife Margaret Thompson and other heirs, relationship not stated:  Elijah Thompson Senior [sic, must be a mistake for 'Junior'], Ransom Thompson, Elvira Thompson, Ambrose Thompson.  At the death of his wife, remainder of his estate divided amongst his 'Eares' [sic, 'Heirs'].  Witnesses:  John Ellison & William Garrett.

These Thompsons lived in the part of Rutherford Co, NC which became Polk County, NC in 1855.  

Alexander Womack III lived in this area until about 1839, and married Freelove Thompson after the death of his first wife, Mary Neal.  Alexander and Freelove moved to Polk Co, TN.  This research can be confusing, because of two Polk counties.

See my post on James Alexander Womac's Goodspeed biography for proof his father Alexander Womac/Womack married Mary Neal.  See also the death certificate of Margaret (Womack) Staton, born 19 Sep 1835 and died in McMinn Co, TN on 23 Apr 1915, which lists her parents as Alexander Womac and Freelove Thompson.

Alexander and Freelove had a son named Elijah Thompson Womack as well as a daughter Margaret Womack.  Though not mentioned by name in Elijah Thompson's will, it is clear Freelove was his daughter, and Freelove named children after her parents.  She also named a son Ransom Womack after her brother Ransom Thompson, who witnessed a deed for Alexander Womack (III).  Additionally, Freelove had daughter Elvira Sarepta Womack, named at least partially for a sister, Elvira Womack.

Also, Freelove had a daughter named Lucinda Rella or Cinderella Womack.  She is listed variously in the census and other records as Sinda, Lousinda, Lucinda, Rella, Cindy (death certificate of her son James William Farris), and Cinderella (death certificate of her daughter Nancy 'Nannie' Bell Brown).  Her tombstone lists her as Sinda Farris and the tombstone of her husbands says he was Free M Farice and that he married Sinda R Wamack.

Elijah Thompson Jr, brother of Freelove Thompson Womack, was married to a woman named Cinderella (see 1850 Federal Census of Rutherford Co, NC).  It is likely Freelove named a daughter Cinderella after her sister-in-law.

Elijah Thompson Jr had a daughter named Freelove Clarisa Thompson, according to family tree data that I have not yet verified.  She married Elias Lingerfelt, and Elias & Freelove C (Thompson) Lingerfelt are listed in the 1850 FC of Polk Co, TN, as are Alexander and Freelove (Thompson) Womack.

The preponderance of evidence makes me fairly certain that Freelove Thompson, wife of Alexander Womack III, was the daughter of Elijah Thompson Sr and his wife Margaret or Rutherford Co, NC.

As always, do your own research to verify this for yourself.
