David Womack and Esther Tanner

David Womack married Esther Tanner in Rutherford Co, NC:


Groom: David Womack
Bride: Esther Tanner
Bond_Date: 04 Oct 1809
County: Rutherford
Bondsman: Philip Wood
Witness: James Morris

In the 1810 Census, David was in Rutherford Co, NC; in 1820 he was in Union Co, KY; in 1830 his widow Esther was in Union Co, KY.

In the 1840 Census, their son, Oliver Clayton Womack, was in Hopkins Co, KY. I am not sure where Esther was, but possibly with her daughter, Ursula (Womack) Tanner. (A John D Tanner was in Shelby Co, IL in 1840).

In the 1850 Census, Esther (age 66, born in VA)was with her daughter Ursula in McDonough Co, IL; her son Walton B Womack was in McDonough as well. In 1860, she was again with Ursula in Story Co, IA (Iowa) (age 76, born in VA).

The three known children of David Womack and Ursula Tanner were Oliver Calyton Womack, Ursula Womack (married John D Tanner), and Walton B Womack.

Union Co, KY marriages
Squire R David to Louisa E Warnock 23 Nov 1832
John D Tanner to Ursula W Womack 18 Feb 1833

Louisa E in the above marriage record may have been a Womack; various WorldConnect entries claim she was. Squire Davis was in Hancock Co, IL in 1840 (as S R Davis), and again in 1860. I cannot find him in 1850. Louisa died and Squire remarried 24 Sep 1853.

Ursula, Oliver Clayton, and Walton B were all in the 1880 Census, and Ursula and Walton B were also in the 1900 Census.

So, Walton thought his foks were from Germany. the parent's birthplace for Oliver Clayton was left blank. In 1880, Ursula said her folks were both born in VA, and in 1900 she said they were both born in PA.

Walton was wrong about his parent's birthplaces, and we get no info from Oliver Clayton. We know Esther (Tanner) Womack was born circa 1784 in VA. So, it is likely that the 1880 Census for Ursula was correct. Thus, David Womack was born in Virginia.

David's parentage has been claimed by some as Thomas and Louvisa (Rice) Womack. Certainly, the majority of the Womacks in Rutherford Co, NC were this family. However, the "known" sons of Thomas/Louvisa - Anderson, Abraham, George, James, William - all have records that tie them together at least circumstantially. There are no such records I am aware of for David that tie him with the other Rutherford Co, NC Womacks.

I have a theory who David's parents might be. Hint: there was another Womack family in McDonough Co, IL in 1850, which might be circumstantial, but McDonough was a very small population county.

I think a DNA test with a male Womack descendant of David Womack and Esther Tanner might be very helpful in narrowing down the possibilities.

Chesterfield County, Virginia Wills

See
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~reburke/lines/data/womack/ew/lines/ChestefieldVAWills.htm

I transcribed many estate records from Chesterfield Co, VA. The data comes from LDS microfilms of the originals. I did not transcribe the earlier wills, since they are here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rgwomack/wills.htm

I can say who some of these people probably were. I have photocopies of other records transcribed from Chesterfield Co, VA that I still need to type out, so some of my evidence comes from these records.

Here is a quck overview of each, with the will book number and page number in parentheses.

1) Jesse Womack (5-101) - son of Thomas, son of Thomas, probable son of Richard Jr, son of Richard Sr.

2) Sarah Womack (5-149) - widow of Thomas Womack(Jr), son of Thomas (Sr), probable son of Richard Jr, son of Richard Sr. Susannah was her daughter who she named as "Suckey" in her will. Suckey was a common nickname for Susannah.

3) Thomas Womack (6-259) - Thomas III, son of Thomas, son of Thomas, probable son of Richard Jr, son of Richard Sr.

4) William Womack (6-280) - I think this was the William Womack married to Martha LNU who was mentioned in the transcription of Chesterfield Co, VA Womack records by E. P. Valentine. I think this William was the son of William, son of Abraham (Jr), son of Abraham Sr. The John and William Womack mentioned as administrators were likely the sons of William.

5) John (8-319) - married to Catharine LNU. He was the son of Joel, son of Thomas, probable son of Richard Jr, son of Richard Sr. See http://rebgen.blogspot.com/2007/09/joel-and-sarah-womack-children.html

6) William (12-94) - married to Elizabeth Perkinson. Son of Francis, son of Thomas, son of Abraham Sr.

7) Suckey (12-446) - not sure who she was. She was NOT the Susannah "Suckey" Womack who was the daughter of Thomas Womack (Jr) and Sarah LNU, since that Susannah Womack married John Spears and was still alive in the 1850 Census of Chesterfield.

8) Catharine (16-72) - Catharine (LNU) Womack, widow of John - see 8-319 above.

9) Francis (17-53) - Francis Jefferson Womack, son of William - see 12-94 above.

10) Isham (17-156) - Isham C Waymack from Prince George Co, VA. He married a cousin of some sort, Critty Womack.

11) Elizabeth (18-158) - Elizabeth (Perkinson) Womack, widow of William - see 12-94 above.

12) Jame (18-420) - James Madison Womack, son of William - see 12-94 above.

Womack Family in America before 1850 - Classification

The Womack family in America circa 1850 was fairly large - about 2400 to 2800 individuals, not counting slaves held by Womacks. A couple years ago, I abstracted all the Womack US federal census records up to and including 1850. At the time, I had no idea how many of them were related. I still do not know how many are related, but I have made some headway. This has led me to classifying the Womacks into several divisions.

Scientists are always classifying things, such as species of living things, minerals, stars, languages, etc. They make their groupings based upon similarities between things.

I have two types of groupings for the Womack family, which I call branches and divisions. A branch is group of people with one common Womack ancestor - the head of that branch. A division is a group of people who are possibly not related, but grouped together by similar characteristics. Some of these may form divisions may eventually become branches with more research.

I believe the vast majority of white Womacks in America in 1850 were the descendants of the Womacks of the late 1600s in Henrico County, Virginia. This includes all spellings, including Warmack. For each branch or division, I have a description that includes a name and a place. The place is usually where the person was known to have lived last.

Note that I do not trace the descendants of Womack females. Sorry, this project is large enough just with Womacks.

Some branches come from other branches. I do this to make the branches smaller, and thus easier to understand.

Before asking me questions about these branches, remember it for Womack individuals in America before 1850. So please, no comments/questions about other families, Womacks in other areas of the world, or Womacks after 1850.

A) The Core Womack Family from Henrico Co, VA - the first 4 generations, starting with William Womack, sometimes called "the Immigrant". Researchers have made many mistakes in this part of the family, leading to an enormos amount of confusion. However, a great deal of this part of the family is understood.

B) The 17 Womack great-grandsons of the Immigrant

B.1) William Womack of Cumberland Co, VA - son of William, son of Abraham

B.2) Abraham Womack of Lincoln Co, NC - son of Thomas, son of Abraham - see branches D.1 and D.2 below.

B.3) William Womack of Charlotte Co, VA - son of Thomas, son of Abraham - married Jane LNU; they had no children, but William's estate records hold many clues to the families of his siblings.

B.4) Thomas Womack of Nottoway Co, VA - son of Thomas, son of Abraham

B.5) Isham Womack of Halifax Co, VA - son of Thomas, son of Abraham

B.6) Francis Womack of Chesterfield Co, VA - son of Thomas, son of Abraham

B.7) Abraham Womack of Halifax Co, VA - son of Abraham, son of Abraham

B.8) William Womack of Chesterfield Co, VA - son of Abraham, son of Abraham

B.9) Thomas Womack of Rowan Co, NC - son of Abraham, son of Abraham

B.10) Richard Womack of Goochland Co, VA - son of Abraham, son of Abraham - father of William Warmack of Davidson Co, TN and Matthew Warmack of Wayne Co, MO.

B.11) Richard Womack of Burke Co, GA - son of Richard, son of Richard

B.12) Alexander Womack of Campbell Co, VA - son of Richard, son of Richard

B.13) Thomas Womack of Chesterfield Co, VA - probably son of Richard, son of Richard

B.14) Matthew Womack of Amelia Co, VA - probably son of Richard, son of Richard

B.15) Henry Womack of Goochland Co, VA - son of William, son of Richard

B.16) William Womack of Halifax Co, NC - son of William, son of John

B.17) John Womack of Johnston Co, NC - probably son of William, son of John

C) Womack Family of Prince George Co, VA - this is a division rather than a branch. These Womacks appear to be the descendants of John's three sons John, Richard, and Abraham. Despite the records loss in Prince George, we know Richard was there as late as 1742, and Abraham at least until 1759.

D) Branches off of (or probably off of) the "B" branches

D.1) Thomas Womack of Burke Co, NC - married Louvisa Rice - the son of Abraham (B.2). See also E.6.

D.2) William Womack of Gallatin Co, IL - married Rebecca LNU - the son of Abraham Womack (who married Elizabeth Stubblefield), son of Abraham (B.2). This was NOT the William who married Lucy Womack, dau of Thomas/Louvisa (C.1). Nor was it the William Womack, son of Thomas of Rowan Co, NC (B.9).

D.3) Thomas Womack of Jasper Co, GA - married Lavina Dennis - probably the son of Richard (B.10)

D.4) Allen Womack of Buchanan Co, MO - probably the son of Richard (B.10)

D.5) Abraham Womack of Monroe Co, GA - married Judith Minter - probably the son of Abraham (B.7)

D.6) Benjamin Womack of Gadsden Co, FL - probably the grandson of Frederick, son of William (B.16)

E) Other Womack Branches and Divisions that almost certainly descend from the Henrico Co, VA Womack Family.

E.1) Richard Womack of Smith Co, TN - wife Catherine (supposedly Steetman). From VA, supposedly Halifax Co, although a search of tax records for every year from 1782 to 1810 failed to find him. Descandants spell the name "Wommack".

E.2) Terry Womacks of Brown Co, OH - from VA, supposedly the son of Henry Womack (see B.15), but I would need more documentation or DNA testing to believe this.

E.3) Peter, Lewis, and David Womack of Lincoln Co, TN - all born in NC, probably brothers from their proximity, occupations, and similar names of their children.

E.4) Warmack Family from Franklin and Habersham Cos, GA - descend from an unknown male Womack or Warmack, who married Sarah LNU. After his death, she married Jesse Putman. Son John born in SC. Dau Susannah married Littleton Meeks. Not descended from Ian Warmack (no such person, see Fictional Womacks below). Ian supposedly settled in GA, which makes little sense, given that John Warmack was born in SC, possibly Union Co, SC where Jesse Putman was from.

E.5) Archibald Womack of Lincoln Co, NC - married Sarah Hager - confused with Archibald, son of Thomas (B.9). Possibly the Archer Womack, son of Thomas, son of Thomas (B.13).

E.6) William Womack of Marion Co, TN - married Lucy Womack, dau of Thomas/Louvisa (D.1). NOT the son of Abraham Womack (wife Elizabeth Stubblefield), son of Abraham (B.2). Possibly the son of Isham (B.5).

E.7) William Womack of Campbell Co, VA - married Catherine (possibly Blankenship). NOT the son of Francis (B.6). William son of Francis married Elizabeth Perkinson, and he wrote a will in Chesterfield Co, VA in 1830 naming his wife Elizabeth. Also, DNA evidence strongly suggests that William in Campbell Co, VA could not have descended from Francis, since DNA of his descendant matches that of descendants of Richard (B.11) and Alexander (B.12).

E.8) Womack Family of Northern Virginia - there was supposedly a William Womack in Frederick Co, VA in 1779 and 1782 tax lists. More research needed here, but my gut feeling is that this was actually a Hammack family that was mis-transcribed. The Womacks in northern VA counties after 1800 were probably the descendants of Peter Womack, son of Thomas, son of Thomas (B.9).

E.10) Womack/Warmack family of Montgomery Co, GA - a division that is very little understood. John and William Womack/Warmack appear in early records in Montgomery Co, GA, and then in Twiggs and Pulaski Co, GA. John Warmack moved to MS, and people from this group were in Copiah, Hinds, Holmes, and Yazoo Cos, MS among others. A Timothy Womack was probably John's brother, and John had sons John and William Warmack, and possibly other children, such as Patience Warmack, Benjamin Womack, and Joel Sherrard Warmack. Note that some descendants spelled the name Womack, but most were Warmack.

E.11) Josiah Womack of Hancock Co, GA - married Nancy Holliman

E.12) David Womack of Union Co, KY - married Esther Tanner - possibly a son of Thomas/Louvisa (D.1).

E.13) Abraham Womack of Obion Co, TN (later in Arkansas Co, AR)

F) Other unclassified single Womack families before 1850 that probably decsend from Henrico Co, VA - This includes Womack families that were not extended families in 1850, and the head of household was born after 1800. This includes families such as Newton Womack in Fayette Co, TN in 1850. Note that there are very few Womacks in this category.

G) Womacks NOT descended from the Henrico Co, VA Womack Family

G.1) Recent Womack Immigrants - mostly or all in New York in 1850, all from England

G.2) African-American - a handful of free black Womacks in 1850; the vast majoity were slaves.

G.3) Native American - there were NO Native American Womacks. The Womack name comes from England. There were Womacks with Indian blood from their mother's side of the family.

H) Womacks who were not really Womacks - mistakes

H.1) Mistakes made in the past - mistakes made in censuses, newspapers, by county clerks, etc where people were called Womack who really were not. Example: Elizabeth Womack in the 1850 Census of Madison Co, TN was actually Elizabeth (Fly) Warmath, widow of Henry Warmath.

H.2) Mistakes made in record tanscriptions - Womack is difficult to tell from several other names in some old handwriting, and in documents that are faded or otherwise hard to read. An example is the supposed Womacks in Stewart Co, TN, all of whom were Warnicks.

I) Non-existent Womacks

I.1) Legendary or Fictional Womacks - often handed down in family oral traditions. Example: Ian Warmack of Georgia. Real research either finds no proof of these people, or finds other (and real) ancestors. These fictional Womacks do proove that someone was a great story teller.

I.2) Fraudulent Womacks - the Womacks in this category were created by unscrupulous "professional genealogists" to separate people from their money. Example: Henry Womack of Accomack Co, VA.

*********************************************

Whew, that was a lot of typing - I count 46 branches and divisions. I think that covers all the Womacks in America prior to 1850.

Hopefully, this will get some discusion going. Obviously, I left a lot of details out. Let me know if I missed a grouping, or any other comments/questions.

Abraham Womack of Goochland Co, VA, continued

In an earlier post (http://rebgen.blogspot.com/2007/09/abraham-womack-bollings-quarter-branch.html), I wrote how I found this deed record online:

http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BAKER_BOLIN/2000-09/0968899679

Goochland County, DEED BOOK 4, Page 239
Aug 15 , 1743 from Ashford Hughes of the Parish of St. James and Goochland, to Alexaander Wamack [incorrect!!!] of same, for 55 (Pounds), all that tract of land in Goochland on the south side of the James River and bounded by Bollings Quarter Branch, the branches of Muddy Creek, Womack, about 400 acres. Signed -Ashford Hughes. Wit- Charles Raley, Fras Amoss, Thomas Dillon. Recorded Sep 20, 1743..

I saw the microfilm of the actual deed today and it very clearly says Abraham Womack, NOT Alexander. It also says the land was on Womack's line.

Thus, Abraham Womack, son of the original Abraham (born circa 1644), owned 800 acres in Goochland - 400 bought from Ahford Hughes, and 400 in an adjacent parcel in a land patent dated 25 Aug 1731.

I also abstracted a 1747 deed of Abraham Womack to William Womack:

Goochland Co, VA Deed Book 5, p.352. 17 Nov 1747 - Abraham Womack Junior of Goochland Co to brother William Womack for "natural affection" 100 acres on Bollings Quarter Branch, "part of the survey that my father lived on". Wit: Richard Ligon, James Ligon, Sarah Ligon. Acknowledged by Abraham Womack in Goochland Court 17 Nov 1747.

Iverson Womack/Wammack

Iverson Womack or Wommack or Wammack was intersting - born in Gorgia, moved to Florida with this mother as a boy, fought in the Seminole Indian Wars and for the Confederacy in the Civil War, then moved to western Pennsylvania where he worked the oil wells, then finally to California, where he died in 1914.

Note that the 1880 Census incorrectly gives his birthplace as North Carolina, when he was in fact born in GA. The census taker wrote the states of birth on the wrong lines for people - the person before Iverson was listed as born in GA, Iverson as born in NC, and his wife as born in PA. In fact, Iverson was born in GA and his wife in NC.

Here are some notes I gathered several months ago on this family:

Info I found tracing Nora Belle Wammack, dau of Iverson.

California Death Records - Iverson H Wammock age 79, Los Angeles County, 22 Feb 1914, 1422

I think Iverson's parents were James Wommack and Eliza P Smith.
James Womack, Eliza Smith, 13 Jul 1828, Jones Co, Georgia
See http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/jones/deeds/dd111wommacka.txt

Smith marriages in Jones Co, GA: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/jones/vitals/marriages/smith.txt - note that there as an Iverson Smith, so perhaps a name that ran in the family.

I think James Womack was the son Carter Womack and Catharine LNU of Halifax Co, NC, a ell-known line. In the censuses, James Womack and later Eliza lived near several Alsobrook families n Jones Co, GA. These Alsobrook families were from Halifax Co, NC. James Wammack from lsobrook's district of Jones Co, GA won land in both the 1832 GA Cherokee Land Lottery, and the 1832 GA Gold Land Lottery.

I also took a look at tax records of Jones Co, GA at the GA state archives during the late 1830s. ames Wommack is near several Alsobrook families. In a couple of years, Wilson C Alsobrook paid the poll tax for Thomas Wommack, James' brother. In Jones Co, GA deed records James ammack bought land from Wilson Alsobrook; sold land to William Barron & Isaac Harris.

Not sure why Eliza Wommack was listed as head of household in the 1840 Census if James was till alive in 1844.

WORD OF CAUTION: Early Georgia was like a blender for Womack families. What I mean by hat is that several Womack families from very different lines might live in the same county, ever make the assumption they are closely related. I think the 8 land lotteries held in Georgia had a ot to do with this.

Womacks or their relatives won land all over the state and moved to new counties, often near omacks from different lines. Jones Co, GA had at least 4 lines of Womacks prior to 1850.

Womacks at Virgina DOT

I found some great old Womack records at an unusual site, the Virginia Department of Transportation. These were done for the VA DOT by a historian, Nathaniel Mason Pawlett.

They are PDF files, and 4 of them mention Womacks.

Goochland County
http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/75-r71.pdf

Lunenburg County
http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/93-r17.pdf

Amelia County

Albemarle County
http://www.virginiadot.org/vtrc/main/online_reports/pdf/75-r72.pdf

The ones for Lunenburg Co, VA show that Richard Womack "III" was there from 1746 to 1759.

The ones for Amelia Co, VA mention the "the Race Paths at Abraham Wawmocks". This was Abraham, son of Thomas, son of the first Abraham Womack. This shows that the first Abraham's descendants shared his love for racing horses.

Here is the most interesting one from Amelia:

22 August 1751 O. S., Page 351
Thomas Haskins is Appointed Surveyor of the Road that leads from Sailors Creek Bridge to the fork of the Road a little above Sandy River Bridge and that his Tythes AbrahamWawmock's John Gentry, Charles Causton, John Spradling, Benjamin Ruffin's Tythes, Thomas Wawmock Abraham Wawmock jur and John Nash's Tythes on Sailor's Creek, this Gang and William Wawmock's Gang are to meet and repair Sailors Creek Bridge, And then from the Fork above Sandy River Bridge to Bush River Bridge and from thence to Buffelow Road Mr. Nash's Hands is to Clear the Same and William King is appointed Surveyor of the Said Road

Here we have 3 sons of Thomas and Mary (maybe Farley) Womack - Abraham Sr, Thomas, and William. In addition, we have Abraham Sr's son Abraham Jr, and two son-in-laws, Charles Cauthon and John Spradling, married respectively to Elizabeth and Mary Womack.
