Nancy Sandeford who married Stephen C(oleman) Womack was the grandaughter of Stephen Coleman McDaniel (brother of Sarah McDaniel who married Charles Womack) and Lockey Douglass, who was probably related to Edward Douglass who married Agness W Womack.
See http://genforum.genealogy.com/douglass/messages/1619.html - says Edward C Douglass (who married Agness W Womack) was the son John and Elizabeth McDaniel Douglas. They also had a son, George Livingston Douglas(s) who was probably the G L Douglas who acted as security for marriage of Agness W (Womack) Douglas to Joseph Waller.

To Thomas Grendon per Zack Taylor
Dear Sir,
This I hope will come to your hands to congratulate your safe
arrival in England, having little news to send, all being well
at your house. The General Assembly is now sitting, and your
neighbour Hill Speaker. I hope all things will go on smoothly.
Old Sturdivant, his son, Millner {,} Shipy, Womacke, and Hugh Cassell were all killed by the Indians in their returne from the Westward, about 30 miles beyond Ochanechee. What prejudice it is to mee you may guesse, they having (had they come will in) made a very advantagous journey. On Easter monday I spoke with 50 Seneca Indians about 12 miles abouve my house; they have promised to behave themselves hereafter very peaceable towards the English. I shall not trouble you further at present, but with my best respects and service to yourselfe and all our friends, wishing all health and prosperity, I am, Sir, Your reall friend and Servant
W.B.
Jack Warren and Will Randolph our worthy Burgesses, frequently
drinke your health.
Pray be mindfull of my shoes and Boots & C.
NOTE:
The Valentine Museum indicates that the Susquehanna
Indians conducted the raid which killed the above
personnel.

The date of this letter may have been later in the yesr. Letters of administration on the estates of John Milner, Thomas Shippy, Richard Womeck (and John Davis) were granted to their widows at the same Henrico County court, 1 Aug 1684, and all of these men's inventories show some connection with the Indian trade: Indian boys and girls, trading knives, a tomahawk, Indian baskets (Henrico Co Wills & Deeds 1677-92, pp. 282-290). The Occaneechee Trail or Path led from Fort Henry (Petersburg) through Ocaneechee Town (near present Clarksville, Meklenburg County), close to the forks of the Dan and Roanoke Rivers. Twenty miles west of that would be present Person Co, NC.

American Womack Records Before 1701, Part I
This is the first of a series of blog enties on the earliest (pre 1701) Womack records in America.
This first entry is the Virginia Land Patents which mention Womacks. See Virginia Land Patents. This data comes from the book series Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volumes 1-8. All of these patents can all be viewed at the Library of Virginia here: http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/LONN/LO.html
Land Patents were kept at the Virginia Colony/State capital, which was Jamestown until 1699 when it was moved to Williamsburg, and then moved to the current capitol, Richmond, in 1780.
The following are ALL the land patents that mention Womacks before 1701. There is an undocumented assertion that William Womack recieved a patent in 1657 or 1665. This patent has never been found, and I will address it and other fictional/dubious assertions in a later blog entry.

Abraham Womeck, 200 acs, Henrico Co, 15 Oct 1698, p.161. Escheated from Gilbert Deacon, by inquisition under Wm Randolph, Esqr, Esch'r, &c.
{This was part of the 269 acres granted to Abraham Womack in Bk 8, p.216 (see above). Gilbert Deacon was granted 324 acres on 7 Oct 1655 (Bk 4, p.9). Sometime before 23 Apr 1681, Abraham Womack purchased 200 of the 324 acres, since on 23 Apr 1681, he was listed as owning land adjacent to George Browning (Bk 7, p.75, see above). Gilbert Deacon apparently kept the remaining 124 acres. However, he apparently had failed to pay taxes on any of the land, including the 200 acres he sold Abraham Womack. The 124 acres of land was escheated (returned to the crown) for failure to pay taxes. On 20 Apr 1685, William Clarke got a grant for the 124 acres (escheated land, formerly granted to Gilbert Deacon), but Abraham Womack was in hot water concerning the back-taxes on the other 200 acres until an inquistion was held by Esq William Randolph, and Abraham was re-granted the land in this patent. Thus, Abraham Womack and William Clarke were neighbors, each owning part of the former land of Gilbert Deacon. They would later have a court battle over their property line (Henrico Co, VA 1678-1693 Order Book, p.310). Also, this William Clarke married the widow (name unknown) of William Womack, Abraham's brother (Minutes of the General Court of Virginia, 1670-1676, p.177; Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, By Henry Read McIlwaine, published 1924, p.369).}

As discussed in an earlier post, I believe Charlton's mother was named Susannah (1790 Caswell tax list, also Charlton's brother John had a daughter named Susannah Ingram). Charlton Ingram married Lucy Womack and his first cousin, Benjamin Ingram, married Lucy's sister, Ann "Nancy" Womack.
Benjamin Ingram and wife Nancy Womack lived in Pendleton Co, SC from about 1792 to about 1802, then they moved to Livingston Co, KY (the part which became Caldwell in 1809). They must have returned to Caswell Co, NC before going to KY, since Benjamin Ingram was there 1 Sep 1803 when he recieved his share of Abraham Womack's estate. From deed records of Pendleton Co, SC, and from tax records of Caldwell Co, KY, I guessed that Benjamin's parents were James Ingram and Catherine LNU.
Note the witness Moses Ingram, who was son of Charlton Ingram.
This will abstract verified my theory. Benjamin wrote his own will a couple years later, and it mentions his father's estate, and that his mother was still living.
I suspected that Benjamin's father James was brother to Charlton's father Benjamin. So, I looked for a James married to a Catherine, with brother Benjamin married to Susannah. See http://www.geocities.com/heartland/estates/3739/d27.htm#P1995.
Here, we have Benjamin Ingram married to Susannah Coin (I think she was actually Susannah Quine), and James Ingram married to Catherine Young. I am sure these are the correct Ingrams, and that they came from Baltimore Co, MD (the part which became modern Harford Co, MD) to Orange Co, NC (the part which became modern Caswell Co, NC) between 1770 and 1772. They were part of a larger migration of people from Maryland to North Carolina, including the families of Miles, Slade, Wright, Poteat (Poteet), and Richardson. Benjamin Ingram and James Ingram were the sons of John Ingram and Mary Peasley. See "Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759" (which is available on ancestry.com) for more info on this Ingram family in Maryland. The will of John Ingram is in Maryland Calendar of Wills: 1732-1738 By Jane Baldwin Cotton.
In Maryland, deeds could be registred with the county or the colony government.
Compare these two deeds:
So, we have two deeds of land bought by Corbin Lee, with same witnesses, two days apart. The first deed was recorded in Baltimore County, MD, and the second with the Province (or colony) of Maryland.
According to Baltimore County Families 1659-1759 by R.W. Barnes, the three Wright brothers above had a fourth brother, Jacob Wright. I found this marriage record:
Note that in Caswell Co, NC, James Ingram (son of Benjamin/Susannah) had a daughter named Priscilla Ingram (married Moses Allen). James also had a son named Benjamin Ingram who married Priscilla Wright.
Ingram men were the bondsmen for four Wright marriages in Caswell before 1850, indicating a strong connection between these families. There were also lots of deed records in Caswell talking about Ingram and Wright together.
Abraham Wright and Jacob Wright were in Caswell Co, NC in the 1777 tax list near the Ingrams. Isaac Wright died in 1774 in Orange Co, NC before Caswell was formed in 1777 (see below). So far, I have found no record that brother William Wright came to Orange/Caswell.
This is the first record of Benjamin Ingram in North Carolina. Here, he witnesses the will of Isaac Wright, the same Isaac Wright with wife Mary who sold sold their land to Corbin Lee in Baltimore Co, MD two days before Benjamin Ingram with wife Susannah sold their land to Corbin Lee in Baltimore Co, MD. Note that one of the other witnesses, Abraham Miles, was the son of Thomas Miles, and this family has been proved to come from Baltimore Co, MD to Caswell Co, NC (see the book Marylanders to Carolina).
Issac Wright married Mary Richardson in Baltimore Co, MD on 19 May 1761. Early Caswell tax lists show Lawrence Richardson and James Richardson living near Ingram and Miles families in Caswell; both Lawrence Richardson and James Richardson have records in Baltimore Co, MD. Isaac Wright's son Zacharias or Zachariah was born about 1762 in Maryland; he married Polly Hayes 24 Dec 1793 in Caswell, and according to researchers of this family, moved to Grayson Co, VA (the part which became Carroll Co, VA). He was alive for the 1850 Census, listed as 88 years old, born in Maryland. Issac Wright's daughter Providence Wright married Richard Haddock on 29 Jul 1796 in Caswell with bondsman Lawrence Richardson.
There was another Isaac Wright near the Ingrams in Caswell: http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=99&p=localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.caswell. A Caswell deed record gives his mother as Mary, and his sister's names. At first, I thought this was the son of Isaac Wright and Mary Richardson, but there seems to be too many discrepancies - the names of this Isaac's sisters do not match the daughters of the Isaac who made his will in 1772. This Isaac was probably the son of Abraham Wright, brother of Isaac who made his will in 1772. If so, Abraham Wright married a second time to Mary LNU, because his first wife was Avarilla Harryman (the marriage record in Baltimore Co, MD says Abraham Wright, 20 Feb 1759, to Avarilla Harryman, 2 BA 218).
I have not seen the Ingrams in the 1777 tax list of Caswell, but according to ancestry, there was Benjamin Ingram, John Ingram, and two James Ingrams. I think this was Benjamin Ingram (wife Susannah Quine), his sons John and James, and his brother James Ingram (wife Catherine Young). Benjamin's son Charlton was born 30 Jul 1757, thus not quite 21 in 1777, and probably still living with his father.
A 1783 Caswell deed mentions land of James Ingram, Jr. Benjamin Ingram had a son James Ingram, and one grandson I know of named James Ingram, John's son, who was either a child or not born yet in 1783. Remember that the terms Sr and Jr did not imply a father/son relationship back then, just that two people had the same name and one was older or younger. I think the James Ingram Jr in the 1783 deed was Benjamin's son James, and that he was called Junior to distinguish from his uncle, James Ingram (wife Catherine Young).
From Pendleton Co, SC deeds, and South Carolina land records, James Ingram was in Pendleton by maybe as early as 1785, certainly by 1790 when he was on the census there (also in 1800). James's sons Benjamin and William were also there in census records (Benjamin in 1800, William in 1790 and 1800). James's son-in-law, Samuel O Burton, was also in Pendleton, and Benjamiin Ingram witnessed a deed for Samuel Burton there. I will come back to Pendleton records.
Back to old Maryland records.
Susannah Coin is the only Coin in early Maryland marriage records, so at first I thought the name was Cain, but now I am sure it was Quine.
See the will of Walter James, written 2 Apr 1751 in Baltimore Co, MD in Maryland Calendar of Wills, Volume 10: 1748-1753 By F. Edward Wright. Note that Walter James was one of the bondsmen on the administration of the estate of Mary Peasley Ingram (Benjamin's mother).
Note that the will mentions Susannah Ingram, to whom Walter James left cattle and slaves, which was quite a large inheritance, since slaves were very valuable. I believe Susannah Quine Ingram was the step-daughter of Walter James.
The book St. John's and St. George's Parish Registers, 1696-1851 By Henry C. Peden mentions Jane Quine, daugter of William and Elizabeth born 20 June 1713 in Baltimore Co, MD. Later, it mentions Jane Quine marrying William Detter on 6 Oct 1736. William Detter was actually William Ditto, who was from a French Huguenot family which originally spelled the name Ditteau. I believe that William Quine died, and his widow Elizabeth married Walter James.
Walter James's will does not mention a wife, so Elizabeth must have died before 2 Apr 1751. The book "Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759" (which is available on ancestry.com) mentions that Walter James and wife Elizabeth bought land in 1740 from Samuel Maxwell (see above, he sold land to William Wright, Sr). So, Walter James's wife was named Elizabeth. Note the sentence in Walter James's will: "only one bag of feathers JANE ditto". This was Jane Quine Ditto, wife of William Ditto!!! The person who transcibed the will must have thought it was "ditto" meaning "repeat", often abbreviated in old documents as "do" or with a quote mark.
By the way, the Ditto family must be hard to research, since it is such a common word. It reminds me of when I was researching the File family. Try doing a google search for File!!!
Back to Walter James's will - he calls Walter James [Jr] his son, and Priscilla James (another Priscilla!) his daughter. It seems he calls Henry Quine his son, and the will's language is a little confusing about this; certainly Henry Quine sometimes went by Henry James in Baltimore records. I think that Susannah Ingram, Jane Ditto, William Ingram, and Elizabeth Denton were the step-children of Walter James Sr by his marriage to the widow Elizabeth LNU Quine, widow of William Quine.
Priscilla James, daughter of Walter James Sr, married Salathiel Galloway on 28 Sep 1753, and he died in 1756, with widow Priscilla administering the estate with bond from Benjamin Ingram and Henry James (aka Henry Quine).
In 1750, Benjamin Ingram and William Grover were bond on the administation of the estate of Oliver Harriott. No idea how or if Harriott is related to Ingram or Quine. However, William Grover may be related. See Baltimore County, Maryland Deed Records: 1727-1757 By John David Davis. William Quine and wife Martha of Baltimore Co in 1748 to William Grover for love and affection 8 acres. This must be William Quine Jr, brother of Benjamin Ingram's wife, Susannah Quine. Also, Martha, wife of William Quine Jr, may have been Martha Ingram, because John Ingram (Benjamin's brother) mentioned in his 1738 will brothers-in-law William Quine and Humphrey Tudor, and brothers Benjamin Ingram and James Ingram, with William Wright (possibly the William Wright Sr above?) one of the witnesses.
The 1786 tax list of Caswell Co, NC show three Quines in Caswell District of Caswell County: William Quine (right after John Ingram), Mary Quine (2 after James Ingram), and Benjamin Quine (right before Abram Miles). Quine is a very rare name. It would be extemely coincidental for these Quines in Caswell Co, NC not to be the same Quines in Baltimore Co, MD. Several other Caswell records show Quine and Ingram together. For example, John Ingram and Charlton Ingram were buyers at the estate sale of William Quine in 1800. See Lumbee Indians and Goins Family, William Quine witnessed deeds for both James Ingram and Charlton Ingram in Caswell.
I mentioned above that John Ingram Jr (Benjamin's brother) named Humphrey Tudor as a brother-in-law; he was married to Dorcas Ingram, Benjamin's sister. After Humphrey died, Dorcas married an Abraham Wright, and church records show they had a son Solomon. This Abraham Wright must have been somehow related to the William Wright Sr, father of the four Wright brothers, three of whom came to Caswell (and one of them, Jacob Wright, married Priscilla Ingram).
Enough for tonight, I will post more on Ingrams later.

INGRAM, JAMES. Oct 4 1806. April 1807. Wife: Caty. Children mentioned but not named. Ex: Benjamin Ingram (son), Samuel Burton (son-in-law). Wit: Moses Ingram, Falton East.
Note the witness Moses Ingram, who was son of Charlton Ingram.
This will abstract verified my theory. Benjamin wrote his own will a couple years later, and it mentions his father's estate, and that his mother was still living.
I suspected that Benjamin's father James was brother to Charlton's father Benjamin. So, I looked for a James married to a Catherine, with brother Benjamin married to Susannah. See http://www.geocities.com/heartland/estates/3739/d27.htm#P1995.

I am sure these are the correct Ingrams, and that they came from Baltimore Co, MD (the part which became modern Harford Co, MD) to Orange Co, NC (the part which became modern Caswell Co, NC) between 1770 and 1772. They were part of a larger migration of people from Maryland to North Carolina, including the families of Miles, Slade, Wright, Poteat (Poteet), and Richardson.

The will of John Ingram is in Maryland Calendar of Wills: 1732-1738 By Jane Baldwin Cotton.
In Maryland, deeds could be registred with the county or the colony government.
Compare these two deeds:
Baltimore County, Maryland Deed Records, Vol 4, 1767-1775, by John Davis
19 Nov 1770, Isaac & Mary Wright, William & Sarah Wright, Abraham & Averilla Wright (sons and heirs of William Wright), planters, of Baltimore Co, MD to Corbin Lee, 166 pounds, 500 acres patented 12 Aug 1696, by Edward Felk, who devised to his cousin Edward Pigg, who sold to Samuel Maxwell, who sold to William Wright Sr. Signed Isaac (x) Wright, William (x) Wright and Abraham Wright. Wit: J Beale Howard and James Gittings.
Provincial Court Land Records, 1770-1774 (Maryland State Archives Website)
21 Nov 1770, Benjamin Ingram of Baltimore Co, planter to Corbin Lee of Baltimore Co and Robert Alexander, Esq of Baltimore Co, 138 pounds, land called Michael's Chance, 100 acres. Signed Benjamin (B) Ingram, Corbin Lee, Robt Alexander. Wit: J Beale Howard and Jas Gittings. 21 Nov 1770, Benjamin Ingram acknowledged deed, wife Susannah relinquished dower. Recorded 27 Apr 1771.
So, we have two deeds of land bought by Corbin Lee, with same witnesses, two days apart. The first deed was recorded in Baltimore County, MD, and the second with the Province (or colony) of Maryland.
According to Baltimore County Families 1659-1759 by R.W. Barnes, the three Wright brothers above had a fourth brother, Jacob Wright. I found this marriage record:
Ancestry, Maryland Marriages, 1634-1777
Wright, Jacob to Priscilla Ingram, 4 Aug 1765, 2 BA 228
meaning Baltimore County - 2 BA - St. John's and St' George's Parish; copy made by Harrison at MHS [Maryland Historical Society]. (Despite the title of the manuscript, the records are chiefly those of St. John's Parish.)
Note that in Caswell Co, NC, James Ingram (son of Benjamin/Susannah) had a daughter named Priscilla Ingram (married Moses Allen). James also had a son named Benjamin Ingram who married Priscilla Wright.
Ingram men were the bondsmen for four Wright marriages in Caswell before 1850, indicating a strong connection between these families. There were also lots of deed records in Caswell talking about Ingram and Wright together.
Abraham Wright and Jacob Wright were in Caswell Co, NC in the 1777 tax list near the Ingrams. Isaac Wright died in 1774 in Orange Co, NC before Caswell was formed in 1777 (see below). So far, I have found no record that brother William Wright came to Orange/Caswell.

"Rest of my estate to be equally divided amongst all my children: Providence, Zacharias, Mary and Isaac Write."
Executrix: wife Mary.
Witnesses: Bridger Haynie, Benjamin Ingram, Abraham Miles.
This is the first record of Benjamin Ingram in North Carolina. Here, he witnesses the will of Isaac Wright, the same Isaac Wright with wife Mary who sold sold their land to Corbin Lee in Baltimore Co, MD two days before Benjamin Ingram with wife Susannah sold their land to Corbin Lee in Baltimore Co, MD. Note that one of the other witnesses, Abraham Miles, was the son of Thomas Miles, and this family has been proved to come from Baltimore Co, MD to Caswell Co, NC (see the book Marylanders to Carolina).
Issac Wright married Mary Richardson in Baltimore Co, MD on 19 May 1761. Early Caswell tax lists show Lawrence Richardson and James Richardson living near Ingram and Miles families in Caswell; both Lawrence Richardson and James Richardson have records in Baltimore Co, MD. Isaac Wright's son Zacharias or Zachariah was born about 1762 in Maryland; he married Polly Hayes 24 Dec 1793 in Caswell, and according to researchers of this family, moved to Grayson Co, VA (the part which became Carroll Co, VA). He was alive for the 1850 Census, listed as 88 years old, born in Maryland. Issac Wright's daughter Providence Wright married Richard Haddock on 29 Jul 1796 in Caswell with bondsman Lawrence Richardson.

At first, I thought this was the son of Isaac Wright and Mary Richardson, but there seems to be too many discrepancies - the names of this Isaac's sisters do not match the daughters of the Isaac who made his will in 1772. This Isaac was probably the son of Abraham Wright, brother of Isaac who made his will in 1772. If so, Abraham Wright married a second time to Mary LNU, because his first wife was Avarilla Harryman (the marriage record in Baltimore Co, MD says Abraham Wright, 20 Feb 1759, to Avarilla Harryman, 2 BA 218).
I have not seen the Ingrams in the 1777 tax list of Caswell, but according to ancestry, there was Benjamin Ingram, John Ingram, and two James Ingrams. I think this was Benjamin Ingram (wife Susannah Quine), his sons John and James, and his brother James Ingram (wife Catherine Young). Benjamin's son Charlton was born 30 Jul 1757, thus not quite 21 in 1777, and probably still living with his father.

Ingram Genealogy, Part II
Here are some Ingram marriages in Caldwell Co, KY (http://genealogytrails.com/ken/caldwell/marriages18091828.html):
At least three children of Charlton Ingram and Lucy Womack were married in Caldwell Co, KY: Mahala, Matilda, and Milton.
Charlton Ingram married his second wife, Elizabeth Flemming, in Caldwell on 24 Jun 1817. His first wife, Lucy Womack, had died Nov 1816, per the William Peoples Womack family record: http://rebgen.blogspot.com/2009/01/josiah-womack-bible.html
Charlton Ingram was on Caldwell Co, KY tax lists from 1809 (the year Caldwell was formed from Livingston Co, KY) to 1825, when we presume Charlton died. See http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/INGRAM/1998-12/0913687298
The 1790 "Census" of Caswell Co, NC is here: http://files.usgwarchives.org/nc/caswell/census/1790/1790cswl.txt. Note that the actual Census for 1790 Caswell Co, NC was lost, and this list is recreated from tax lists. I have not seen the actual tax list, but I understand it has more info than just names. John, James, and Charlton Ingram (all sons of Benjamin Ingram) appear in Caswell District. A James Ingram and a Susannah Ingram appear in Richmond District. I think the James Ingram in Caswell District and the James Ingram in Richmond District were the same man, since I looked at Caswell Co, NC deed book, and James Ingram owned a lot of land. I believe Susannah Ingram was the widow of Benjamin Ingram, who had died in 1789, and in July 1789, his 640 acre tract had been divided between his sons James, John, and Charlton Ingram.
Several explanations have been given for the relationship of Charlton Ingram who married Lucy Womack and Benjamin Ingram who married Ann "Nancy" Womack. Some have Benjamin as the son of Benjamin who died 1789, but that Benjamin had just 3 sons (James, John, and Charlton) per the July 1789 Caswell court record.
Another incorrect explanation was that Benjamin Ingram who married Nancy Womack was the son of James Ingram, son of Benjamin who died 1789. However, James Ingram's 1792 will calls his son Benjamin Ingram one of his youngest sons, and Caswell records indicate this Benjamin Ingram had a gaurdian as late as 1802, thus wan not yet 21 years old in 1802. See http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/INGRAM/1998-12/0913689011. There is no way that this Benjamin Ingram was the one who married Nancy Womack in 1786.
Other incorrect explanations include incorrect origins of the Caswell Co, NC Ingram family in Virginia. I will get to those later. The Ingrams in Caswell Co, NC did not come from Virginia.
Charlton Ingram was accidentilty listed twice in the 1800 Census of Caswell Co, NC:
Charlton Ingram was missed in the 1810 Census of Caldwell Co, KY, though tax records reveal he was there. Several other Ingram families were in the Caldwell tax records but missed in the 1810 Census, including Benjamin Ingram married to Nancy Womack. Also missed was William Womack, Charlton's brother-in-law.
Charlton Ingram was in the 1820 Census of Caldwell Co, KY:
He is near other Ingram families and other related and allied families. He is listed right after David Benton, married to Mary Womack, the sister of Charlton's first wife Lucy Womack, though Lucy had died Nov 1816.
In my next post on Ingram genealogy, I'll talk about Benjamin Ingram married to Nancy Womack.

I think the James Ingram in Caswell District and the James Ingram in Richmond District were the same man, since I looked at Caswell Co, NC deed book, and James Ingram owned a lot of land. I believe Susannah Ingram was the widow of Benjamin Ingram, who had died in 1789, and in July 1789, his 640 acre tract had been divided between his sons James, John, and Charlton Ingram.
Several explanations have been given for the relationship of Charlton Ingram who married Lucy Womack and Benjamin Ingram who married Ann "Nancy" Womack. Some have Benjamin as the son of Benjamin who died 1789, but that Benjamin had just 3 sons (James, John, and Charlton) per the July 1789 Caswell court record.
Another incorrect explanation was that Benjamin Ingram who married Nancy Womack was the son of James Ingram, son of Benjamin who died 1789. However, James Ingram's 1792 will calls his son Benjamin Ingram one of his youngest sons, and Caswell records indicate this Benjamin Ingram had a gaurdian as late as 1802, thus wan not yet 21 years old in 1802. See http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/INGRAM/1998-12/0913689011. There is no way that this Benjamin Ingram was the one who married Nancy Womack in 1786.
Other incorrect explanations include incorrect origins of the Caswell Co, NC Ingram family in Virginia. I will get to those later. The Ingrams in Caswell Co, NC did not come from Virginia.
Charlton Ingram was accidentilty listed twice in the 1800 Census of Caswell Co, NC:

Chalton Ingram 30210 - 21010
Source Citation: Year: 1800; Census Place: Hillsboro, Caswell, North Carolina; .Roll 31; Page: 102; Image: 108.
Chattan Ingram 21210 - 21010
Charlton Ingram was missed in the 1810 Census of Caldwell Co, KY, though tax records reveal he was there. Several other Ingram families were in the Caldwell tax records but missed in the 1810 Census, including Benjamin Ingram married to Nancy Womack. Also missed was William Womack, Charlton's brother-in-law.
Charlton Ingram was in the 1820 Census of Caldwell Co, KY:
Source Citation: Year: 1820; Census Place: , Caldwell, Kentucky; Roll M33_19; Page: 34; Image: 38.
Charlton Ingram 000101 - 01110
He is near other Ingram families and other related and allied families. He is listed right after David Benton, married to Mary Womack, the sister of Charlton's first wife Lucy Womack, though Lucy had died Nov 1816.
In my next post on Ingram genealogy, I'll talk about Benjamin Ingram married to Nancy Womack.

Ingram Genealogy
Ingram is not one of my personal lines, but one I got interested in while researching my Womack family. Abraham Womack Jr and Elizabeth Stubblefield had several children, including Lucy Womack who married Charlton Ingram (often spelled Chalton Ingram), and Ann "Nancy" Womack who married Benjamin Ingram.
Both marriages occurred in Caswell Co, NC:
Abraham Womack [Jr] made his will in Caswell Co, NC on 15 Sep 1796, and it was probated Oct 1800. Among his children, he mentions Lucy Engram and Nancy Engram. Full text of will is here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rgwomack/thomas_womack.htm
We also have a Bible record for Abraham Womack's family: http://rebgen.blogspot.com/2009/01/josiah-womack-bible.html
From the bible, we know Lucy Womack was born 16 Jun 1761, and Ann "Nancy" Womack was born 21 Sep 1758. Both were likely born in Virginia.
Related to this Bible is a family record in possession of William Peoples Womack (son of Josiah, grandson of Abraham), in which it states that William Womack (Abraham's son) died Jan 1820, and Lucy Womack (Ingram, Abraham's daughter) died Nov 1816.
Abraham's son Josiah Womack was the executor of the will. He collected several receipts from the heirs, which are in Abraham's probate file in Caswell.
NOTE: Betsey Womack was Elizabeth Womack, who was Abraham's daughter and not yet married when Abraham died. She lived in Caswell, and thus we can be sure that Charlton Ingram was also in Caswell on 12 Apr 1803.
NOTE 2: Charlton / Chalton's mark consisted of his initials, C I, but the I had a small bar drawn through the middle. This mark is the same on the letter of William Womack, below.
NOTE: This proves Benjamin, husband of Ann "Nancy" Womack, was in Caswell Co, NC on 1 Sep 1803.
NOTE: William Womack (eldest son of Abraham) and Charlton Ingram must have been far from Caswell on 16 Dec 1804, though it appears Charlton Ingram returned to Caswell with this letter. I think that on 16 Dec 1804, William Womack and Charlton Ingram were both in Tennessee or Kentucky.
The Abraham Womack [Jr] probate file also contains receipts to Betsey Womack (Abraham's daughter) on 23 Dec 1800 witnessed by William Bethell; to Joseph Brackin (husband of Sina Womack, Abraham's daughter) on 9 Jan 1801 witnessed by Wm Bethell; and a final report to the Caswell County Court on 16 Sep 1809 stating that Josiah Womack had given every Legatee of Abraham Womack Decd their legacy, except for David Benton (married to Mary Womack, Abraham's daughter) who had refused to accept his legacy of 5 shillings.
Charlton Ingram also has a Bible record: http://genforum.genealogy.com/ingram/messages/714.html
Note "Luck ? W. Ingram b. 16 June 1761". This is Charlton's wife, Lucy Womack, and her birth date in Charlton's Bible matches that in Josiah Womack's Bible (link above). Charlton's birth date is given as 30 Jul 1757.
Some researchers have Lucy Womack as Lucy Rachel Womack. I have no idea where the Rachel came from, and I have found zero proof of this.
The Bible probably belonged to Charlton and Lucy's son, Amaziah Ingram, because it lists his wife, Charlotte (Saxon) Ingram, as well as their kids. It also lists all of Charlton and Lucy's kids, whose names all began with "M", other than Amaziah:
Mosses Ingram b. 5 Sept. 1780 - Moses
Mansma Duke Ingram b. 16 Jan 1783 - Marmaduke
Mahalah or Mahalak Ingram b. 29 Oct 1785 - Mahala (male)
Medesdien (?) Ingram b. 21 Feb 1788 - Medes or Medis
Amayiah(?) Ingram born 20 Oct 1790 - Amaziah
Matilda Ingram b. 23 Oct 1793 - Matilda

Milly C. Ingram 5 Sept 1799 - Milly or Mildred

Masila Ingram b 20 July 1807 - Marilla
Darnell, Nancy / Ingram, Moses 4 Oct 1808 Tennessee Montgomery County (Ancestry, Tennessee Marriages to 1825)

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

Asa Dupuy Papers
Asa Dupuy was one of the many people who administered the estate of William Womack who died in 1790 in Charlotte Co, VA.
See http://www.vahistorical.org/arvfind/grigsby2.htm. The Asa Dupuy papers are at the Virginia Hisorical Society. Roger Womack used this as source when writing about the descendants of Thomas Womack and Mary Farley. However, the papers are pretty vast - I ordered most of them from VHS, and I still have some to go. There is much more info in them.
First off, William Womack was not a bachelor. The estate papers show his wife at time of death was Elizabeth or Eliza. Earlier deed records show that William's wife at that time was Jane, so must have been married twice. William apparently had no children, and thus his estate fellto his siblings. However, most of his siblings were dead, so it fell to their children. The results is a very large, though confusing, family record of the descendants of William's parents, Thomas Womack and Mary Farley.
William Womack's estate was initially administered by his brother, Thomas Womack, Jr.
When Thomas Jr died, his widow Mary Womack took over the administration of William's estate.
When Mary Womack died, her will executor John Lamkin Crute took over the administration of William's estate. (Coincidentally, John Lamkin Crute was the brother of Mourning Crute Womack, wife of Edmund Womack).
Finally, the Charlotte Co, VA court appointed James Dupuy and his son Asa Dupuy as administrators of William Womack around 1810. Asa was still handling the estate as late as 1840, a few years before his death.
There is a long document spanning several pages that starts with "Charlotte Court 1st October 1810". It appears to be an account to the court of the state affairs to that point. Here are some interesting parts:
"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..."
"Isham Womack we can hear nothing of nor which way he removed to ..."
"Mary Mann we have lately heard was living in Amherst County about 40 years ago ..."
"Judy Hamilton no representatives can be heard of only that before or about the American Revolution they went toward the Spanish Teritory ..."
It should be noted that as late as 1810, the admistrators of William Womack were unaware that William's brother Abraham had a son Abraham Jr - the early decrees only mention Elizabeth (Womack) Cauthorn, John and Mary (Womack) Spradling, and Abner Womack as children of Abraham. James and Asa Dupuy did not know about Abraham Jr until they were contacted by Abraham Jr's son, Josiah Womack.
Much of the information conveyed by Josiah Womack is in Roger's page. However, there was also an interesting affidavit from Josiah's uncles, Richard and Wyatt Stubblefield:
[Correction, 13 May 2019: Richard Stubblefield in the affidavit must be Josiah Womack's first cousin, Richard Stubblefield Jr. Josiah's uncle, Richard Stubblefield Sr, made his will in April 1802 in Rockingham Co, NC, and likely died soon after.]

All the talk of "heirs" as opposed to "children" is interesting. I take it that the Stubblefields were dancing around the issue of Abraham Womack Sr's illegitimate children, Thomas Womack and Archie Blanton, who were not legally Abraham's heirs, since they were born out of wedlock.

When Thomas Jr died, his widow Mary Womack took over the administration of William's estate.
When Mary Womack died, her will executor John Lamkin Crute took over the administration of William's estate. (Coincidentally, John Lamkin Crute was the brother of Mourning Crute Womack, wife of Edmund Womack).
Finally, the Charlotte Co, VA court appointed James Dupuy and his son Asa Dupuy as administrators of William Womack around 1810. Asa was still handling the estate as late as 1840, a few years before his death.
There is a long document spanning several pages that starts with "Charlotte Court 1st October 1810". It appears to be an account to the court of the state affairs to that point. Here are some interesting parts:
"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..."
"Isham Womack we can hear nothing of nor which way he removed to ..."
"Mary Mann we have lately heard was living in Amherst County about 40 years ago ..."
"Judy Hamilton no representatives can be heard of only that before or about the American Revolution they went toward the Spanish Teritory ..."
It should be noted that as late as 1810, the admistrators of William Womack were unaware that William's brother Abraham had a son Abraham Jr - the early decrees only mention Elizabeth (Womack) Cauthorn, John and Mary (Womack) Spradling, and Abner Womack as children of Abraham. James and Asa Dupuy did not know about Abraham Jr until they were contacted by Abraham Jr's son, Josiah Womack.
Much of the information conveyed by Josiah Womack is in Roger's page. However, there was also an interesting affidavit from Josiah's uncles, Richard and Wyatt Stubblefield:
[Correction, 13 May 2019: Richard Stubblefield in the affidavit must be Josiah Womack's first cousin, Richard Stubblefield Jr. Josiah's uncle, Richard Stubblefield Sr, made his will in April 1802 in Rockingham Co, NC, and likely died soon after.]

**************************
All the talk of "heirs" as opposed to "children" is interesting. I take it that the Stubblefields were dancing around the issue of Abraham Womack Sr's illegitimate children, Thomas Womack and Archie Blanton, who were not legally Abraham's heirs, since they were born out of wedlock.
Much more on info from the Asa Dupuy papers to come later ...

{The Abraham Womack on Hogan’s Creek was the one married to Elizabeth Stubblefield; this Abraham was present in the Caswell tax lists for 1777, 1780, and 1784. The Abraham Womack on Storey’s Creek in 1784 Caswell tax list was the one married to Martha Mitchell (they married 31 Mar 1763 in Granville Co, NC). He had been in GA in the mid-1770s, then moved back to NC for a few years before returning to GA. He probably married his second wife, Martha Watkins, at this time; she was from Halifax Co, VA, just to the north of present-day Person Co, NC. Abraham’s daughter, Cicely Womack married James Harris McFarland in Caswell Co, NC on 22 Jan 1787.

Hiram Howard left a will in 1821 in Oglethorpe Co, NC naming wife Lucretia. See http://womackhunter.homestead.com/ .}

Land of Thomas Womack & Mary Farley
Land of Thomas Womack & Mary Farley
This is an essay about how Thomas Womack who married Mary Farley got the land he lived on, and how it was divided between his 5 sons.
20 Oct 1691 – VA Patent Book 8, p.172 – 879 acres to Mr. John Worsham, Mr. Edward Straton [Stratton] and Abraham Womack on Swift Creek.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was 293 acres (one third of 879).
15 Aug 1699 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1697-1704, p.147 – Mr, John Worsham and Mr. Abraham Womack Sr. of Henrico to Edward Stratton son of Edward Stratton lately deceased, our right in 1/3 part, or 293 acres, on north side of Swift Creek, called “Coldwater Run”.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was still 293 acres (one half of the remaining 586 acres).
1704 tax list of Henrico – Abraham Womack with 560 acres.
NOTE: Abraham’s land was in two tracts, one with 293 acres, and the other with 269 acres, for a total of 562 acres. I will write another essay on the 269 acres (which went to Abraham’s son, Abraham Womack, Jr.), though it should be noted here that 200 acres of the 269 was granted to Abraham twice (Patent Book 8, p.216; and Patent Book 9, p.161); this was a fairly common practice and a way of re-affirming that the colonial government knew who owned what land.
1 Apr 1708 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1706-1709, p.89 - Edward Stratton of Henrico and wife Anne to John Worsham and Abraham Womack Sr. of Henrico, 293 acres on north side of Swift Creek, Coldwater Run; land is 1/3 part of patent to Capt. John Worsham, Abraham Womack and Edward Stratton deceased, and the 293 acres sold by Womack & Worsham to Stratton on 15 Aug 1699.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was 439.5 acres (half of 879)
1 Feb 1709 (recorded as 1 Feb 1708, but this was Old Style year) - Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1706-1709, p.134 – Abraham Womack for love and affection to son Thomas Womack, all my land on Coldwater and Swift Creek, 400 acres.
NOTE 1: This was actually not 400 acres (though that is what the deed says), but rather 439.5 acres.
NOTE 2: This deed was incorrectly transcribed by Benjamin B. Weisiger as “Abraham Womack Jr.” to son Thomas Womack. I have a clear photocopy of the original, and it does not say either Jr. or Sr. Abraham’s mark he used to sign was the same he used to sign earlier documents, and the same sign he made on his 1733 will; whereas his son, Abraham Womack, Jr., signed his name.
Thus, Thomas Womack (married to Mary Farley) owned 439.5 acres.
31 Jul 1712 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1710-1714, p.154 – Thomas Womack and wife Mary of Henrico to Richard Grills of same, 36 acres on north side of Swift Creek, part of patent to Capt. John Worsham 20 Oct 1691.
Thus, Thomas Womack (married to Mary Farley) owned approximately 403.5 acres.
Signed 24 Mar 1733/ Proved Jan 1734 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1725-1737, p.424 - Will of Thomas Womack - note he dated it 24 Mar 1732/1733, meaning 1732 Old Style and 1733 New (modern) Style, and it was recorded Jan 1733, but that was an Old Style year; the New Style year was 1734. Thomas divided land between his 5 sons, with Abraham and William sharing a tract from Licking Branch to Rocky Run, and required to sell out only to one another; Isham and Thomas sharing a tract from Rocky Run to the “head line”, also required to sell to one another; and Francis the remaining part which included the land Thomas Sr. lived on.
Thomas Womack Sr. died with approximately 403.5 acres, so each of his 5 sons got an average of about 80 acres. In reality, Abraham and William got about 80 acres each; Isham and Thomas got about 65 acres each; and Francis got about 100 acres.
1736 Southside Henrico Tax List – the part of Henrico which became Chesterfield County in 1749. Several Womacks including:
1) Abraham Womack “at the bridge”. 3 Levys. Execution of John Hatchett Jr. against you. Quit-rents 80 acres.
2) William Womack [two lines after Abraham Womack, with Judith Worsham in between]. 1 Levy. 320 acres. “Your Mothers debt in the store”.
NOTE 1: There was another Abraham Womack further in the tax list “at the Hundred”, meaning Bermuda Hundred, which was on the James River, which had no bridge at that time, only ferries. The bridge near Abraham Womack “at the bridge” was probably over Swift Creek. Abraham "at the Hundred" was the uncle of the Abraham "at the bridge".
NOTE 2: John Hatchett who had an execution against Abraham was married to Abraham’s sister, Elizabeth Womack.
NOTE 3: Abraham Womack and William Womack had a total of 400 acres, which the approximately 403.5 acres that Thomas Womack Sr. had owned. William Womack’s 320 acres apparently included his own share, as well as those of his brothers, Isham, Thomas, and Francis, who apparently were not yet of age in 1736.
The 1736 tax list supports that Thomas Womack Sr. died with approximately 403.5 acres.
6 Jun 1741 - County, VA Misc. Court Records 1738-1746, p.1146 – William Womack & wife Jane of Dale Parish, Henrico to Abraham Womack Jr. of same, 80 acres on north side of Swift Creek bounded by the Rocky Run, mouth of Swift Creek, & Daniel Worsham, deceased.
NOTE: Abraham Womack (son of Thomas Womack & Mary Farley) called “Jr.” here to distinguish him from his uncle, Abraham Womack, who would have been the oldest Abraham Womack in Henrico Co, VA. William Womack and Jane LNU, his wife, next appear in records of Amelia Co, VA.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 4 sons was still at approximately 403.5 acres; with Abraham owning 160 acres of the total.
1 Apr 1745 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1744-1748, p.17 - Abraham Womack and wife Jane of Dale Parish, Henrico Co to Henry Winfree of St. John’s Parish, King William Co, 200 acres on north side of Swift Creek, bounded by Daniel Worsham and Rockey Run.
NOTE: Of the 200 acres, 80 were Abraham’s share of his father’s estate, and 80 were what his brother William sold him; I do not know where the remaining 40 acres came from (possibly rounding errors, see notes below). Need to see original deed. Abraham Womack and wife Jane LNU next appear in Amelia Co, VA.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 3 sons (Isham, Thomas, Francis) was at approximately 243.5 acres; since Abraham sold 200 acres which included 160 acres of the original 403.5 acres.
25 May 1749 – Chesterfield County formed from the part of Henrico County south of the James River.
1 Oct 1754- Chesterfield County, VA Deed Book 2, p.244 – Isham Womack and Thomas Womack of Amelia Co, VA to Henry Winfree of Chesterfield Co, 130 acres on Rocky Run, Swift Creek.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 1 son (Francis) was at approximately 113.5 acres.
5 Jul 1754 - Chesterfield County, VA Deed Book 2, p.173 – Mary Womack and Francis Womack her son of Chesterfield to John Roberts of Chesterfield, 100 acres on Coldwater Run, Swift Creek.
NOTE: We seem to be down to 13.5 acres of the 403.5 acres that Thomas Womack Sr. died with, but really I think that when Francis sold out in 1754, that was the last of Thomas Sr.’s land. I think the 13.5 acres is just several “rounding errors” in several deeds. It could be that the divisions that Thomas Womack, Sr. made between his 5 sons were never surveyed for exact acreage. For example, it could be that the land given to William and Abraham was actually about 173.5 acres, rather than 160 acres; the 80 acres Abraham was taxed for in 1736 was an approximation, as was the 80 acres William sold to Abraham. Abraham may have realized he had slightly more than 160 acres and rounded up (quite a bit) to 200 acres when he sold out.
This is an essay about how Thomas Womack who married Mary Farley got the land he lived on, and how it was divided between his 5 sons.
20 Oct 1691 – VA Patent Book 8, p.172 – 879 acres to Mr. John Worsham, Mr. Edward Straton [Stratton] and Abraham Womack on Swift Creek.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was 293 acres (one third of 879).
15 Aug 1699 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1697-1704, p.147 – Mr, John Worsham and Mr. Abraham Womack Sr. of Henrico to Edward Stratton son of Edward Stratton lately deceased, our right in 1/3 part, or 293 acres, on north side of Swift Creek, called “Coldwater Run”.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was still 293 acres (one half of the remaining 586 acres).
1704 tax list of Henrico – Abraham Womack with 560 acres.
NOTE: Abraham’s land was in two tracts, one with 293 acres, and the other with 269 acres, for a total of 562 acres. I will write another essay on the 269 acres (which went to Abraham’s son, Abraham Womack, Jr.), though it should be noted here that 200 acres of the 269 was granted to Abraham twice (Patent Book 8, p.216; and Patent Book 9, p.161); this was a fairly common practice and a way of re-affirming that the colonial government knew who owned what land.
1 Apr 1708 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1706-1709, p.89 - Edward Stratton of Henrico and wife Anne to John Worsham and Abraham Womack Sr. of Henrico, 293 acres on north side of Swift Creek, Coldwater Run; land is 1/3 part of patent to Capt. John Worsham, Abraham Womack and Edward Stratton deceased, and the 293 acres sold by Womack & Worsham to Stratton on 15 Aug 1699.
Thus, Abraham Womack’s share was 439.5 acres (half of 879)
1 Feb 1709 (recorded as 1 Feb 1708, but this was Old Style year) - Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1706-1709, p.134 – Abraham Womack for love and affection to son Thomas Womack, all my land on Coldwater and Swift Creek, 400 acres.
NOTE 1: This was actually not 400 acres (though that is what the deed says), but rather 439.5 acres.
NOTE 2: This deed was incorrectly transcribed by Benjamin B. Weisiger as “Abraham Womack Jr.” to son Thomas Womack. I have a clear photocopy of the original, and it does not say either Jr. or Sr. Abraham’s mark he used to sign was the same he used to sign earlier documents, and the same sign he made on his 1733 will; whereas his son, Abraham Womack, Jr., signed his name.
Thus, Thomas Womack (married to Mary Farley) owned 439.5 acres.
31 Jul 1712 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1710-1714, p.154 – Thomas Womack and wife Mary of Henrico to Richard Grills of same, 36 acres on north side of Swift Creek, part of patent to Capt. John Worsham 20 Oct 1691.
Thus, Thomas Womack (married to Mary Farley) owned approximately 403.5 acres.
Signed 24 Mar 1733/ Proved Jan 1734 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1725-1737, p.424 - Will of Thomas Womack - note he dated it 24 Mar 1732/1733, meaning 1732 Old Style and 1733 New (modern) Style, and it was recorded Jan 1733, but that was an Old Style year; the New Style year was 1734. Thomas divided land between his 5 sons, with Abraham and William sharing a tract from Licking Branch to Rocky Run, and required to sell out only to one another; Isham and Thomas sharing a tract from Rocky Run to the “head line”, also required to sell to one another; and Francis the remaining part which included the land Thomas Sr. lived on.

1736 Southside Henrico Tax List – the part of Henrico which became Chesterfield County in 1749. Several Womacks including:
1) Abraham Womack “at the bridge”. 3 Levys. Execution of John Hatchett Jr. against you. Quit-rents 80 acres.
2) William Womack [two lines after Abraham Womack, with Judith Worsham in between]. 1 Levy. 320 acres. “Your Mothers debt in the store”.
NOTE 1: There was another Abraham Womack further in the tax list “at the Hundred”, meaning Bermuda Hundred, which was on the James River, which had no bridge at that time, only ferries. The bridge near Abraham Womack “at the bridge” was probably over Swift Creek. Abraham "at the Hundred" was the uncle of the Abraham "at the bridge".
NOTE 2: John Hatchett who had an execution against Abraham was married to Abraham’s sister, Elizabeth Womack.
NOTE 3: Abraham Womack and William Womack had a total of 400 acres, which the approximately 403.5 acres that Thomas Womack Sr. had owned. William Womack’s 320 acres apparently included his own share, as well as those of his brothers, Isham, Thomas, and Francis, who apparently were not yet of age in 1736.
The 1736 tax list supports that Thomas Womack Sr. died with approximately 403.5 acres.
6 Jun 1741 - County, VA Misc. Court Records 1738-1746, p.1146 – William Womack & wife Jane of Dale Parish, Henrico to Abraham Womack Jr. of same, 80 acres on north side of Swift Creek bounded by the Rocky Run, mouth of Swift Creek, & Daniel Worsham, deceased.
NOTE: Abraham Womack (son of Thomas Womack & Mary Farley) called “Jr.” here to distinguish him from his uncle, Abraham Womack, who would have been the oldest Abraham Womack in Henrico Co, VA. William Womack and Jane LNU, his wife, next appear in records of Amelia Co, VA.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 4 sons was still at approximately 403.5 acres; with Abraham owning 160 acres of the total.
1 Apr 1745 – Henrico County, VA Will & Deed Book 1744-1748, p.17 - Abraham Womack and wife Jane of Dale Parish, Henrico Co to Henry Winfree of St. John’s Parish, King William Co, 200 acres on north side of Swift Creek, bounded by Daniel Worsham and Rockey Run.
NOTE: Of the 200 acres, 80 were Abraham’s share of his father’s estate, and 80 were what his brother William sold him; I do not know where the remaining 40 acres came from (possibly rounding errors, see notes below). Need to see original deed. Abraham Womack and wife Jane LNU next appear in Amelia Co, VA.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 3 sons (Isham, Thomas, Francis) was at approximately 243.5 acres; since Abraham sold 200 acres which included 160 acres of the original 403.5 acres.
25 May 1749 – Chesterfield County formed from the part of Henrico County south of the James River.
1 Oct 1754- Chesterfield County, VA Deed Book 2, p.244 – Isham Womack and Thomas Womack of Amelia Co, VA to Henry Winfree of Chesterfield Co, 130 acres on Rocky Run, Swift Creek.
Thus, Thomas Womack’s land owned by 1 son (Francis) was at approximately 113.5 acres.
5 Jul 1754 - Chesterfield County, VA Deed Book 2, p.173 – Mary Womack and Francis Womack her son of Chesterfield to John Roberts of Chesterfield, 100 acres on Coldwater Run, Swift Creek.
NOTE: We seem to be down to 13.5 acres of the 403.5 acres that Thomas Womack Sr. died with, but really I think that when Francis sold out in 1754, that was the last of Thomas Sr.’s land. I think the 13.5 acres is just several “rounding errors” in several deeds. It could be that the divisions that Thomas Womack, Sr. made between his 5 sons were never surveyed for exact acreage. For example, it could be that the land given to William and Abraham was actually about 173.5 acres, rather than 160 acres; the 80 acres Abraham was taxed for in 1736 was an approximation, as was the 80 acres William sold to Abraham. Abraham may have realized he had slightly more than 160 acres and rounded up (quite a bit) to 200 acres when he sold out.

Note that the words "the use" has been mis-transcribed as "Thuise", supposedly Benjamin's wife. A close reading shows that his wife's name is given as "Ann".

James A Womac - Goodspeed
From History of Tennessee, Containing Historical and Biographical Sketches of Thirty East Tennessee Counties, The Goodspeed Publishing Co, 1887.
McMinn County, p.1031-1032
James A. Womac, a well-known resident of the Ninth District, was born in Rutherford County, N.C., July 14, 1822. He is the eldest of six children born to Alexander and Mary (Neal) Womac. The father was of Irish descent, thought to have been born in Cocke County, Tenn., about 1802. He went to North Carolina at an early date and there remained until 1839, when he moved to the Ocoee Purchase in Bradley County. During the war he came to McMinn County, where he died in 1877. He was a successful farmer. The mother was of Welsh origin, born in North Carolina about 1802, and died in her native state in 1832. Our subject remained with his father until he attained his majority. He then began as a tiller of the soil. He purchased a small farm, to which he has since added, and it now contains 1,000 acres. He came to McMinn County shortly after the war, and remained until 1878, when he went to Meigs County. Three years later he returned to his present location. While a resident of Polk County he was six years a justice of the peace. During the late civil war he was pressed into the Confederate service, declining the rank of captain which was offered him. He served as first lieutenant. He was in no battle. At the age of nineteen he joined the Baptist Church, and at twenty-four was ordained a minister. He is a Master Mason, and belongs to Sons of Temperance. In August 1844, he married Margaret, daughter of James and Masila Thompson; the latter born in North Carolina in 1829, and was committed to the grave on her thirtieth birthday. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and mother of five children, of whom are living Mary M., Riley B., Woddy [sic] A. and Evaline -- Buckner died in infancy. In 1859, our subject married Rebecca, daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Higdon, who was born in McMinn County, about 1841, and died in Meigs County in 1880. She was also a member of the Baptist Church. Eleven children were the fruits of this union, ten of whom are living: Daniel S., Lillian, Esther S., Thomas M., Ransom J., Margaret, William James, Robert S., Schuyler and George W. In August, 1880, Mr. Womac married Catherine, widow of W. F. Whiteside, and daughter of James H. and Carolina Hamilton. Mrs. Womac was born in McMinn County in 1845. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. James H. Hamilton was born in McMinn County, October 27, 1811. He was a local minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was a Master Mason. He was a tanner by trade. He married October 20, 1837, and died November 2, 1871, leaving a wife and eight children. His wife was born June 9, 1819, and died October 10, 1880. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Josiah Womack Bible
Josiah Womack Bible Record
From “Womack Family Courier”, October 1984, p.112-116
***************
REB – my notes are in [].
I have tried to copy this as best I can.
I disagree with some of the conclusions presented here. Primarily, I disagree that the William Womack who married Lucy Womack, daughter of Thomas Womack & Louvisa Rice, was the son of Abraham Womack & Elizabeth Stubblefield.
William Womack, son of Abraham Womack & Elizabeth Stubblefield, married Rebecca (last name unknown, NOT Rebecca Parker), and moved from Caswell Co, NC to Georgia; then to Pendleton Dist, SC; then to Tennessee; then to Caldwell Co, KY; and finally to Gallatin Co, IL, where he died in Jan 1820. I have the documentary evidence for this.
The William Womack who married Rebecca Parker, daughter of Edward Parker, lived in Halifax Co, VA. Edward Parker named several children in his will, including Rebecca Womack, Miles Parker, and Henry Parker. William Womack of Halifax Co, VA had a wife named Rebecca and sons Edward, Miles, and Henry Womack. Furthermore, Edward Parker had lived in Halifax Co, VA in close proximity to the William Womack there, before moving to Rowan Co, NC.
The William Womack who married Womack, daughter of Thomas Womack & Louvisa Rice, was, I believe, the son of Isham Womack. This Isham Womack was the son of Thomas Womack & Mary Farley, and thus Isham was the uncle of Thomas Womack (son of Abraham, son of Thomas) who married Louvisa Rice. This Isham was known to have children William and Martha. William Womack and wife Lucy Womack had a son named Isham Rice Womack. Also, their son, Levi Berry Womack, married Martha Bean, daughter of Robert Bean & Martha Womack; and Levi Berry Womack & Martha were said to be first cousins [need documentation for this].
There were over 40 William Womacks in America around 1800, and I believe they have been thoroughly confused.
***************
From the editor:
The following information and bible records were sent by Mrs. Charles T. Womack (Pauline) of Greenwood, Miss. I am including a part of her June 26, 1984 letter to me to explain the following information which includes several bible records. –Annette (She and her husband are from 3 Womack Lines)
***************
Dear Annette,
I am enclosing two Womack family Bibles. The first is listed as Josiah Womack but has his parents, Abraham & Eliz., sisters and brothers. The Asa Martin Womack Family Bible came with “our” Womack family to Yalobusha Co. Miss. There is a generation between these two bibles – William & Lucy Womack. We were able to find out about them through other sources.
In our possession we have the James E. Womack Family Bible (James E. Womack & Frances Sarah Wood marr. Yalobusha Co, Miss Oct 1884). In this bible is given the births marriages of each above parents, then the family of James Edward is given, their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren – which makes 6 generations.
From John Alexander Womack (1834-1927) on down we have the death certificates, the bible, marriage records in Yalobusha Co. MS, tombstones in Shiloh Cem. and certain family knowledge because grandchildren of this man told us so much. The generation before that Asa Matin Womack (1806-1863) – we were able to trace with deeds and other legal documents and the generation before that with deeds, bible and other material…
One other thing – the sheet giving the marriage of Abraham Womack and Elizabeth was found in Yalobusha Co. MS. A grandson of Abraham (1726-1800) was William Peebles Womack. He marr. Matilda Oliver in Caswell Co. NC. They came to De Soto Co. MS sometime in the 1840s. Their daughter, Willie Etta Womack b. 1854 in Miss marr. Lee Jackson and moved to Yalobusha Co and this page was given to show the M. of Abraham and Eliz. to be put together with the Bible record still in NC …

The above Bible was destroyed when the tornado of 1942 destroyed the home of Charles W. Womack, son of John A. Womack who built the home. Elizabeth (Betty) Brown Goza had copied this Bible. Her daughter, Mrs. Hubert McAlexander of Holly Springs, Miss had this and sent to PHW in 1962. Betty Brown Goza was a granddaughter of John Alexander Womack (1834-1927) and stayed in the John A. Womack home much of the time as her mother, Mary Alice Womack Brown died young. Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery has Mary A. Brown wife of S. P. Brown and daughter of J. A. and Fannie A. Womack, Jan 8 1859-April 29, 1881. The Asa Womack Family Bible had survived a fire of the John A. Womack home in 1900. A picture of this home was given to Charles T. Womack Jr. b. 1912 by Marie Womack who had lived with her grandparents, James Edward Womack and Frances Sarah Wood Womack.
