Hello everyone I'm back with new email address. Mark how do I change in researcher index?
I am looking for information about Anne Womack, daug of Alexander Womack, who married Daniel Driskill. I would love to know something about her family - father, mother and siblings. If you can help me out, please communicate with me. Thanks a million. Delma
Which Alexander with daughter, Anne, are you referring to. Dates?
Carolyn,
I believe they are referring to Alexander son of Richard Jr. I am
also intrigued by that line as my ggggrandfather William born abt.,
1765 sp Catherine named one of their children Larkin (my
gggrandfather) all from Campbell Co., VA., as did the descendants of
Adam Daniel Driskoll, (Larkin Driscoll) the reason for the Adam
Daniel is I have seen it both ways and I'm not sure if it's Adam,
Daniel or both or some incorrect info has been passed along. Larkin
was not a common name with the Womacks and I have always wondered if
there was some connection with these families. I have never been able
to prove who my Williams father was. Carlos list him as the son of
Francis son of Thomas and Mary Farley, but no supporting documents,
source or proof. As far as the parents of Adam Daniel Driskoll I have
not researched that line and do not know who his parents were.
Roger, Carolyn, et al
The Anne referred to is the Daughter of Alexander Sr, son of the
Richard you mentioned - she was b. abt 1745 is all I have and I only
have her married to an
Adam Driscoll, no Daniel mentioned..she was the sis of me 5th granpa,
Alex Jr.

I found my grandfather, Porter E. Womack, he is buried in
Vandervoort,
Ark. Polk Co. Witherspoon Cemetery. Died 7/21/1914. I spoke to
the
cemetery keeper today and it was confirmed. I also found he had moved
to
Ark. from Tenn. to work in the oil fields. I f anyone has the Coffee
Co.
Tn. historical Vol.XII, No. 1 about the Womack reunion it has to
be
1913-1914. My mother is shown and she looks to be about 4-5 and she
was
b. 1908 and it also shows Porter and as I stated he died 1914. I
still
want all info. I can get about his life, I still do not know his
middle

James was featured on CNN two years ago along with the late Paul
Shelton, whom he labored alongside for four decades.
I am a Womack through my father's mother. She was the daughter ofRev. William M. Womack. He fought with Gen. Lee and was at Appomattox at the surrender. After that he spent 75 years as a circuit riding Methodist minister in Polk County, N. C. I have his picture with his wife Jane Philbeck. Grandmother always told me that she was a descendent of Sir james Womack, the Earl of Edinburgh. He had 3 sons. He wa beheaded and the family fled to Holland or England, but i believe Holloand , then here. One of his grandsons was named Abner. I think his son was John, then Gazaway, then my grandmother's father. I would like to find out more about this.
I am trying to locate Sarah Womack who married Richard Brown. They had a daughter Maria/Mariah Brown born about 1808 in Adain Co,KY and died about 1872 in Johnson County, MO. Maria married Ambrose Brockman (born about 1795). I would appreciate any info anybody might have. Thanks, Connie

HELP! Jefferson Lilburn Womack b. KY 29 JUN 1814 married to Mary b. IL raised children: Mancy b. 1845 IL; Margaret b. 1843 IL; James b. 1846 IL; Edwin b. 1853 IL and Mary b. 1848 IL, who died in childhood. Jefferson's daughter Margaret married Benjamin McConnell in IL. Their daughter Lucy married Jacob Warren (IL) His daughter Lucy Beatrice, who married Loren Decker, was my grandmother. I need to find out who Jefferson's father was and where in KY he was born/raised. Knowing his wife's maiden name would be nice. This Womack family of ours is absolutely amazing when it comes to genealogy. I think that if I can get Grandpa Jeff's dad's name, I can probably work it out from there. Thanks for reading this. DND
David, I have Jefferson Lilburn as the son of James Womack and Elizabeth (Mary) Berry s/o Abner and Agnes Reed. The problem I am having with this line is James also had a son named Lewis and and it looks like the names of the the children attached are the same. So I'm not sure if Lewis may have been James Lewis. Possibly James and Lewis being the same person. Lewis's spouse is listed as Margaret Berry. James sp Elizabeth (Mary) Berry. I'm just not sure if these are one in the same person or two different individuals that someone has misplaced the children. I would be interested in what other researchers have on this?
Angela, I would love more information regarding the Womack Family Reunion in Yell Co., AR. Burrell Womack is my husband's ggg-grandfather.
I am trying to find information on David Womack who settled in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana around 1785.
OK, Now calling all Thomas and Louvisa descendants..If you have
info that you think might update the file on this mysterious couple
(at least their past),
need that info to do that update. I realize many dupes may be sent.
It will be
my problem to filter out and correlate the info into a workable
product.
Upon completion of the update, only those who actively contribute
will be sent the URL where the final product is; as I will keep a
record of who sent (and will give credit to those who do..).
Anyone willing to scan and send jpg or gif photos of descendants,
will include photo page(s), cross referenced from the narrative...the
older the better..
Ladies and gents, I have over 300 hours work on the original book; of
which I received permission from Oscar's estate to do. However, I am
hoping an update or revised work will be the culmination of the
efforts of many for all; not a few for the many. This was the wish of
those who finished Oscar's work after his death.
Roger and Jack you have been sent separate mail because of your prior
willingness to share your info. Thanks.
Ok Mark, delete this if you will, but only after letting all have
a good look at it, OK??
I was on AOL tonite in a chat, and one person kept giving all that
he/she had done and so on..I got a lil po'ed..I actually called them
a liar..that person, or her/his sometin ancestah was Thomas and
Louvisa..I gave them the info from those twins Newton and Jasper, I
think, and nevah heard back..then found on AOL on one othah occasion
braggin on what he/she had found..I reminded him/her of the fact
(dang wish I had the orig E mails) of who sent that info..I agin
reminded tonite and was met with this, I approached you and you didnt
do this and I needed you and this and that, sentiments for the
birds!!
That person professes to be a WOMACK descendant or a spouse
was/is..Womacks dont do that..now as far as I am concerned,
TBogle@aol.com is persona non grata and I will not answer any Email,
IM nor anything to or for that person.
Nor, will I knowingly correspond with anyone who does.
And yes, I did publicly call the person a liar, and will do so again
and continue to do as long as he/she does not acknowledge where the
info came from.
Any of you who choose to do so, do so at your own volition and own
risk..
Now, Yes I have been outspoken, and will continue to be so..I will
share, but danged if I will myself or others that have freely given
of themselves and info
to be pushed aside and some idiot completely ignore where they got
assistance from!!
Noww censor me if you will and so be it!!
Martha Underwood give me your correct Email if you want info on

I happened to notice an updated database at Ancestry.com the WWI
draft
registrations - ran Womack through, and got 90 hits. It appears
that
they've covered Mississippi, Idaho, Nevada and Texas (happened to
notice both
William Wallace and William Lafayette Womack there in Dawson Co. TX)
so if
you are hunting up someone who was alive in 1917 in those states,
check it out while it's still available for free in the next few
days.

I am seeking information regarding the lineage of Alton Womack. My mother is Billie Dove Womack, born in Olney Tx. about 1934. They are supposed to be Cherokee Indians. Does anyone have any information concerning this line of Womacks? Alton Womack is my mothers father. He married a Cora Thomas, I believe .
I am trying to locate a Lester Womack who was stationed with the
US Army
Heidelburg Germany in the late 50's. He was a close friend of my
mother
and Father, Erna (Burkhart) Miskelly and Herman Miskelly,
respectively.
Any information regarding Lester, who was married to a woman named
Elfie,
would be appreciated. Hermann Miskelly
Hermann,
The Lester you are looking for may be the brother of the below Bryant
H. Womack, this family was from Rutherfordton, NC. It may be a place
to start. This information was extracted from The 'Womack Genealogy
Newsletters" from the late 50's and early 60's. I'll e-mail you more
on his family if you think he is the right one.
(Pfc. Womack was awarded this nation's highest military award, the
Congressional Medal of Honor. An Army base street and a firing range
in Korea bear his name. A street at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., has been
named in his honor. And now, the Army's most modern hospital at Fort
Bragg will stand as a monument to a Rutherford farm boy who paid the
supreme sacrifice for his country.
Top Army officials, North Carolina Governor Luther Hodges, and other
dignitaries will be present for the dedication. So will Mr. and Mrs.
Womack, Bryant's sister, Rachel, and his brothers, Charles, Eugene
and Lester. Lester, a Military police corporal in Germany is being
flown home for the services.)

My name is Benjamin Cynova , I am doing research on my

think
that there is a possibility that there might be a connection.
In one part of the letter a woman by the name of Bates who subbmitted
the
information on the Womack's from Wilson Co. TN.
Starting with Richard Womack Jr and Elizabeth Ann Puckett - then
their son
Alexander Womack and Martha ? parents of Richard Womack, who married
Rachel.
Richard and Rachel Womack's son Richard Womack Jr , married
Elizabeth
Puckette Bailey. Their son Russell was the father of my Gggrandmother
Nancy
Elizabeth Womack.
It said in the letter from Mrs. Bates that she had no info , 3810

If there is a way you can help me get in contact with anyone who

Thanks for your help

My grandfather was Robert Kendrick Womack b. 25 Oct 1903 in North
Georgia;
and died Oct 1974 in Shreveport, Louisiana. His first wife was Grace
Lawhon
and his second wife was Virgina "Ginger" DuPuy. He was a Doctor
(Urologist)
in Shreveport, and an avid horticulturist, specializing in
Camillias.
He also had a sister, Annie Virgil Womack, b. 7 Sep 1895 in North
Georgia;
and died 1980 in Athens, Georgia. She never married, and taught
French at the
University in Athens. According to the Soc. Sec. Death Index, her
death
benefit was sent to someplace in Dalton, Whitfield Co., GA.
My great aunt once remarked that they were the only Womacks that she
knew of
in their hometown (unidentified) in GA. If anyone can connect me with
any
other members of this family, I would very much appreciate it. My
mother
also indicated that the family was likely of Choctaw descent, but she
had no
idea how recent that was.
Would like to clue all in on something. Do not rely on the SSDI for where a death benefit is sent. Like the one below. It was impossible to send a death benefit for this lady. Since she died unmarried, there were no eligible beneficiaries. A death benefit IS NOT PAID to anyone but a surviving spouse or minor children; then only if the deceased was insured under SS. When a woman who never worked under SS dies; her husband, even if living, does not receive a death benefit. And, if she were and her husband were deceased, there would be none paid unles MINOR children or disabled adult children eligible for benefits on her account.
OK, if any of you try to access any of my pages you have in the
past, and encounter a not there; that is true. I am temporarily
removing ALL pages from the net until the controversy about who owns
the data put out here, us or the web servers. It seems that when
Yahoo took over Geocities they started a lil controversy about
anything you put out there belongs to them unrevocablly and alla that
legal stuff..they did not say anything about those of us who pay for
web space; but if that is how they are going to treat customers they
are gonna have a mass exodus...
I will do lookups from my info; but please try to give more than just
a name. location, date or something to go along with it. I have the
pages intact in a large file and can bring them up off-line in my
browser as if on line..
Sorry if this causes any inconvenience, but you all know how much
work we put into this stuff to let someone have it for free and have
no sayso in the matter.
I will be looking for some store-bought web space with no
restrictions..
Actually, I had wondered about the Death Benefit payment for my
maiden Aunt
as well, until I realized that it was probably paid to a trust which
I believe
she set up to take help take care of her niece (my mother) who
was
disabled by a brain tumor. That same condition has made it nearly
impossible
to get information from my mother on her family connections. I plan
on sending
a request to the SSA anyway just to see what is on the original SA-5
form
about my great aunt's parents and birthplace, as well as that for my
granddad.
I realize that the information I gave was sketchy at best, but I'm
afraid it's
all that I could piece together from my childhood memories of them
from nearly
20 years ago. I noted that my younger sister had asked a similar
question
about my grandfather here in this group last year, and also that she
had no
idea that he was from GA, but assumed that he was from LA where he
died.
I also realize that there are a LOT of Womack families from North GA,
but I
posted anyway on the off chance that some other researcher would
recognize the
names, dates and general location. After I get the SSA information
back, I'll
let you know what I found out about their parents and birthplace.
