Macon Georgia telegraph. (Macon, Ga.) 1836-1844, November 03, 1840, Image 3, Column 3
DIED
In this city, yesterday morning, EDMUND WAMACK, a native of Virginia, but for the last 50 years a resident of this State, aged 74 years
This was the 3 Nov 1840 issue, so Edmund Womack died 2 Nov 1840.
He was on the 1840 Census of Bibb Co (Macon), GA.
This was Edmund Womack, probable son of Alexander Womack and Milly Buckner of Luneburg Co, VA. Edmund's was Mourning Crute.
Edmund was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, but strangely indexed as 'Charles Womack', died 2 Nov 1840, age 74, born in Virginia.
Unless there were two Womacks who died the same day, both 74, and both born in VA, the one buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Nov 1840 was Edmund Womack, not Charles Womack.
This has caused a great deal of confusion. I need to see the original internment records.
