Looking for descendants of John Hawkins Womack (1806-1854) of
Bedford Co TN, also for his parents. It seems to be widely accepted
that he is son of David, son of Alexander. But years (decades!) ago I
was led to believe his father could possibly be Alexander Jr.,
brother of the said David. The basis for this was the tradition in
our family that "Hawkins had two brothers, Elisha and Mike." I wrote
this to a distant cousin, Helen Womack, school superintendent in
Shelbyville, and she drew the conclusion (which I wasn't smart enough
to draw), "If they were his brothers, and there were no more, David
Jr. was not his brother and David Sr. could not be his father. That
leaves Alexander Jr. as a possibility." She went on to add: "This was
given to me by a friend (not a relative)," and imparted this piece of
information:
"From Chancery Court Records--
Bedford County at State Library
Alexander Womack Dec'd.
This citation had the name Hawkins Womack in it."
Has anybody seen this or does anybody know anything about it? Would
appreciate hearing from anybody who is interested in Bedford County
Womacks.
San
San, Yep this is a confusing line. This is what I have: However, it is more supposition than fact. Alexander Jr.'s first child was William who married Margaret Ellis his 2nd spouses was Francis they had John Hawkins born abt1832 sp Cassie Morris. The tie from Alexander Jr. to William is based on the fact Alexander Jr. paid William's taxes on some land when he was under age. I have a copy of that record. Also William Womack, that married Margaret Ellis in 1790 in Lunenburg Co., VA., was witnessed by Jacob Womack, son of Alexander. Since Jacob had bought land from Alexander and lived near by, it was a pretty good guess he was his brother. still just a guess at this point but I have seen family connections made on less evidence. Hawkins sp Jenny Cooper was the brother of Michael and Elisha H, and David Jr., and a few more. But I have never seen any records that Hawkins first name was John. Their parents were David sp Elizabeth son of Alexander Sr. I would be interested in what others have on this bunch also.
Looking for Abraham Lincoln High School (Brooklyn) graduates 1956-57. Is there an alumni group? When will reunions be held? Any graduates living in Southern California? Especially looking for Zella Klein (maiden name Rosen) Look forward to hearing from an ALHS fellow alumni.
Roger me cuz!
Ye be so livid that ye didnt note that the perpretrator's name wuz
Adam rather than Andy?? But I agree that Mark should delete and the
rest of us should shun any one that posts such drivel to WGN as some
dang chain letter type thang! I can assure you, if the so called
learned individual contacts me I will ignore as I have some others
who pulled some stunts and used my web page stuff to WFT or Ancestry
and so on.. They can send till blue in the face, I dont forget and I
do not forgive!!...Call me selfish? OK!
For those interested, The LDS church has just released the 1881 ancestors in Great Britain on CD-Rom. Over 30 million-plus names. The data has been divided into eight regions: East Anglia, Greater London, Midlands, North Central, Northern Borders and Miscellany, Southwestern, Wales and Monmouth, and Scotland. Price $33.00. a reasonable price.
After several days of no e-mail I realized I had a problem. If anyone has been trying to get in touch please send to my RGWomack@aol.com address: For some reason no mail is coming through the MLWomack address. I sure hope it gets straightened out soon.
Forgot to mention on the 1881 British ancestors cds. That is 25
cds for 33.00. I ordered them today. 1-800-537-5971 or http://
www.familysearch.org
very affordable.
Looking for Rachel Womack, daughter of Henry & Sarah Womack. She married William Tabor. She was born December 17, 1717.
Barb, recently someone else was looking for this Rachel and William Tabor, they believed she was the daughter of Abraham Jr. son of Abraham b 1644. If she was the daughter of Henry Womack born 1683 and Sarah Scranton he was the son of George Womack born 1653 sp Elvira Lansing son of Henry Womack born 1625 sp Phoebe Randall. Notes: Some genealogist of today swear Henry was a Warwick---but this I know, he did business with Wm. Watters a planter in Barbados under the name of Henry Womacke. This Henry was not in VA, apparently, 1624 --- but was at Accomack Co., VA., 9apr1653 when his son George was born". Don't have a clue if he was related to our Henrico Co., Womacks. You might get in touch with Robert Edwards EdwardsRG@aol.com this is his line.
Looking for information on Oliver Cromwell Womack reportedly born 1869 in Flat Creek, Bedford Co, TN and died 1911. Son of Andrew Jackson Womack (born October 29, 1839, Bedford, TN, died 1904) and Sarah Pearson (no info), Oliver married Minnie Mae Baxter (born 1874, died 1942) and was the father of Thomas Roy Womack (born September 5, 1891 in Huntland, Franklin Co, TN, died July 6, 1964). I have what appears to be otherwise reliable information from a record left by Baxter G. Womack. Despite his unique name, Oliver has eluded my electronic efforts to uncover his vital statistics. Can anybody confirm or refute the connection between Andrew Jackson and Thomas Roy? Please provide sources if possible.
Can you identify the parents and ancestors of either John Thomas Womack (born ~1743) or his wife, Louvisa Rice, daughter of John Rice, (born ~1745) of Lunenburg or Halifax County Virginia?
Robert,
Curious as to where you came up with the John Thomas instead of
Thomas..
Care to elucidate?
Jeff,
If yer Oliver wuz born in 1869 he should show on an 1870, 1880,
1900
and 1910 census somewhere..check the soundex and them miracode cards
out fer 1880, 1900 and 1910..in TN if that wuz wheah lived and
died.
Jeff,
I don't have the proof you need but have the same line. It seems all
his siblings died of TB. You may be able to do some backtracking on
the cemetery records in Flatcreek also.
Andrew Jackson Womack son of Charles W. Womack sp Elizabeth Hale; son
of Michael Womack sp Sarah Jones. A.J. was born June 29, 1839 in
Bedford Co., TN, and died December 27, 1932. He married Sarah
Pearson. She
was born Abt. 1840.
Sarah and daughters Sallie, Lucille, Bertie and Bettie all died from
T.B. and are buried in Rosebank Cemetery, Flatcreek, TN
Children of Andrew Womack and Sarah Pearson are:
2 i. Sallie Womack.
3 ii. Lucille Womack.
4 iii. Bertie Womack.
5 iv. Bettie Womack.
6 v. Oliver Cromwell Womack, born 1869 in Bedford Co., TN; died 1909
in Huntland, TN. He married Minnie Mae Baxter Abt. 1890 in Bedford
Co., TN; born 1871 in Bedford Co., TN; died 1943 in Presott, AZ.
Jeff, forgot to mention the birth and death dates are different than the ones you have on AJ.............Sam, I was wondering about the John Thomas also. Very few middle names were given before the late 1700's so I'm a;ways a little suspicious when they show up before 1750. Thats not to say there were not some. But I think in most cases it is in error. Such as Mary Jane Allen, Mary Ruth Puckett, Tabithe Jane Hudson ect.
Yep Rog,
and even if two names wer given , mostly they used one--i.e. James
Alexander
was Alex Sr and Alex Jr in the records--only reason we know James is
because of
James Alexander III son of Alex Jr..then he had IV as I
remember..
The dates I have for Andrew Jackson Womack are taken from his tombstone in Rosebank Cemetary in Flat Creek, TN (as recorded in a compilation by Baxter G. Womack). The birthdate is confirmed by Andrew's "Soldier's Application for Pension" signed on February 11, 1904. How do these compare to your sources?
I should update my info on the subject dates:
Andrew Jackson Womack: born October 29, 1839; died October 29,
1904.
Sarah Pearson: born March 19, 1847; died December 18, 1898.
All four dates as shown on tombstones in the Rosebank Cemetary.
March and April 1999 messages have been moved to the archive. You
can access them via the link above.
Have a safe and sane 4th!

Subj: Hawkins Womack
I too have Hawkins as the son of David who was son of Alex. Do not
know about the Elisha connection but the Mike could have been the
Michael Womack m. Sarah
Jones who ended up naming Nashville AR. Michael was the grandson of
Alex Sr as my records show Hawkins was..
Then I have William who married a Frances ? as the parents of John
Hawkins,
b. abt 1834. John H married Cassandra Morris, had Charles Benjamin
who married
Clercy Mae Harnby, had Arleigh Dewey Womack, who married Gladys
Vaugh, had
Robert Bently who married Minnie ? and had Bobby Faye, Ronnie and
Suzie. I got this from a descendant of William who lives in
AR..waiting for her to tie in which of the last three she connects
to. Will keep posted whe I get it.
I am beginning to have serious doubts about Jacob Womack, b.
1765-79, m. Mary Wills, as being the son of Alex Jr.. I realize they
lived close, that Jacob had a land transaction with Edmund a son of
Alex Jr..but this could have happened between cousins as well. Also
the same as the land transaction between a Jacob and Alex Jr.
What I am going on again is the naming process--either Jacob was
pretty well put out with Alex Jr as a father and didnt name a child
after him; or Alex was not Jacob's father..Secondly why would Alex Jr
name a son Jacob when he had no
uncles of that name (that we know of) nor did his wife have any that
fit the description..the only Jacob nearby was Major Jacob who was
Alex Sr's brother Richard's son; and the cousin of Alex Jr..perhaps
this Jacob of Watauga being somewhat of a celebrity caused the
naming??..
Jacobs sons in order of birth as close as we have them--Jacob Jr;
John,
Thomas Pannell, Daniel Joseph...No David's, No William's, No
Richard's--
No Alex nor James..no Richard even..nada, zilch...unless there are
siblings missing from all these lines...I do know there have been
only three of Major Jacob's children found..two daughters and one
son, a William also..anyway if it werent for these lil mysteries what
fun would there be in genealogy??
I am trying to locate a MERRILL (not sure of spelling) WOMACK. He
is hopefully still alive. He is a Christian who was active in a music
ministry 20-25 years ago. He made some records and tapes. I am trying
to replace some tapes that have been lost.
I realize that this is not the usual type of request you probably
receive, but I would appreciate any information anyone might have
regarding this man.
Thank you very much.
Barbara J. Hendricks
FYI,
The WGN pages stored on AOL (Vital record message pages) will be
going away very shortly. I will back them up and maybe repost them in
some form on the Earthlink site. I am canceling my AOL service as I
hav threatened to do in the past. Just never got around to it. There
shouldn't be any other interuptions.

I thought that some of you might be interested in Ancestry.com's database that is free for searches at this time. It is a Civil War database. It is still under construction, but there were many Womack's listed. The address is http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/cwrd/cwrd_index.htm
I am looking for the parents of LOUIS EVERETT WOMACK born July 20, 1861, died appox 1940. Married MARY FRANCES RUSHING Dec. 31, 1884. They are listed in Amite Co. MS 1900 census. Or any information on these people would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Fannie, I have your Louis Everett as the son of Lewis P. Womack and Minerva Middleton; son of William Washington Womack sp Charity; son of David Womack and Mildred Pryor. I'll send you what I have from Louis descending.
I would like to connect researchers of Sarah Womack(Abt.
1730-Amelia Co. Va. - 1795) who married James Cody/(Archdeacon
III)(Abt. 1730-Ireland- 1795 Ga.)
I have her Parents as Richard Womack(1710-Eng.-1785-Hancock
Co.Ga.)and Ann
Sherwood.
Thanks, Roxanne
Jeff how great to see your message , there arn't many inquiries about Andrew's line. Happy your sill inerested. Andrew Jackson was my grandfather, Oliver "Ollie" Cromwell was ggrandfather, Thomas "Roy" was my father. Roy was 13 yrs old when Andy died and 18 yrs old when Ollie died. He told us about Andy being crippled from the war. I personnally knew Andy's second son, John Dick, "Uncle J.D."We visited in his home in Phx several times as children When his wife Beulah died he spent his summers in Flagstaff. He often stopped by the theater where I worked to visit with me when I wasn' busy. I don't have a death date but I think it was about 1960 when J.D, died..Ollie's dau., Maude Mae, died about 6 wks. after her gr andmoher Sarah. She is buried next to her grandparents in the Rosebank Cemetary. The headstone reads Maude Mae, Dau. of O.J. and Minnie Mae Womack. Andy and Ollie both died in Huntland, Franklin Cty, Tnn. There has been a lot of confusion over Ollie because he was not listed in the geneology book on Michael Womack written by Virginia Buxton. Hope this clears up some of t he confusion.
MY NAME IS TRACIE LEE WOMACK EASTERLING. I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ON MISSISSIPPI WOMACKS. MY FATHER IS MYRON KEMPH WOMACK, BORN APRIL 30, 1936; IN HAZELHURST MS.

The 1881 British Census and Index came in the mail today, if anyone would like a look up let me know. I have found over 500 Womack's so far, don't have a clue who they are. But on some of your other lines may be able to help. It list age and children pretty much like our census does.
Last Sat. we photographed all the Womack/Wommack headstones in Oak Ridge Cemetery just outside Marietta in Cass county TX. I am going to make a typed list. I would like to know if there is any interest in this area? I will e-mail any pic requested.
Joni,
If you will send the listing, and the name location of the cemetery,
will post
to my web page for all to see..your call.
Hello from your yankee cuz,
I was forwarded a message about some info on L.D.S which states that
my gggrandfather (Aaron H. Womack) parents were Jesse Womack and
Hannah---.
I know that Jesse was married to a Miss Blackledge, dau. of Icabod
Blackledge.
Looking further I found that Icabod had a dau. named Hannah. I guess
my question is How accurate is LDS and does anyone know of any
records which state that Jesse in fact married Hannah Blackledge?

Sam.....1880 Federal census was lost for all counties except
Accomack and Louisa. The District of Columbia west of the Potomac
River is also Lost.
Notes: Virginia in 1800 included what is now West Virginia.....The
District of Columbia was enumerated in 1880 with the Virginia
schedules.
1810 Federal census extant for all counties except Alexandria ( in
DC), Grayson, Greenbrier, Halifax, Hardy, Henry, James City, King
William, Lee, Louisa, Mecklenburg, Nansemond, Northampton, Orange,
Patrick, Pittsylvania, Russell, and Tazewell.
Notes: Virginia in 1810 included what is now West Virginia. The
independant cities of Norfolk, Petersburg, and Richmond have extant
1810 censuses seperate from their adjoining counties.
Just looked on the map, almost all of those Virginia censuses that were lost in the 1810 census except for three bordered NC., TN., and KY. Perhaps those census takers strayed to far.
Rog, Ole Cuz!
Not lookion fer 1880 only 1800 and 1810..they OK?
Sam...sorry, the 1880 in both places should have been 1800. Don't know what happened there, may have been my carple tunneled index finger or brain. LOL
Joni, re cemetery listing:
Joni, if you not already done so with Sam, I'll be more than happy to
post the cemetery info, pictures and all to the WGN site. Always
interested in invaluable primary source information like that. Email
me and let me know.
-Mark
Yep Joni,
heah on WGN is ok by me also..the important thang is to get the info
out theah no mattah who do the showin!!
Re LDS: My experience with info in IGI records on familysearch.com, was that the records are not reliable; however, use what you find as clues, but please try to document their info. It is my understanding that LDS simply takes what people give them in the way of family genealogy and do not document anything. I have written to one of the submitters re a family of mine. I have documentation that what he has submitted is incorrect, but it is still out there for all to see....incorrect. This said, I still think the LDS has done a lot of good in putting more genealogy info online.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but, are the Wamacks and the
Womacks related? I did look for a FAQ sheet. but didn't find one. I
read that the Womacks are from Yorkshire. Can I assume that the
Wamacks are also from there?
Thanks for any help provided! Again, I apologize for what probably is
a very old question.
Brian Wamack
Brian,...I would venture to say a very high percentage of the
Womacks are related. I have found Wamack; Wammack; Wammock; Wamic;
Wamick;
Wamck; Wamoc; Wamac; Wamach; Womach; Womack; Wommack; Woomack;
Womacks; Wemack; Wammick; Waymack; Waimack; Warmack; Warmack, Wolmack
and many other variations that I have been able to tie into our line.
There was a Wamack family who immigrated from Germany in one of Sams
Arkansas censuses. Don't know much about them.
Thanks Roger, for the reply! Thanks to Ann too, she e-mailed me
direct. Does anyone know about the military hospital at Ft. Bragg NC?
I've heard that it's named after a Womack, or Wamack.
Brian
I am seeking any information on my paternal grandfather Stanley Eugene Womack born in or about 1920. He married Ethel Marchand in California around the year of 1943. He is the father of three (known) boys: Kenneth Ray, Ronald and Richard (from a subsequent marriage). I would appreciae any help in locating his vital stats. Thank you.
Brian,
At the above link is an article written about Bryant Womack, the
person the Fort Bragg Hospital is named after. Somewhere on the web
is a listing of National Medal's of Honor, and it describes his
actions that brought him that distinction in more detail than the
above article. Been meaning to make a web page covering Bryant
Womack, but just haven't gotten the chance yet.
-Mark
Melissa, I believe this is your Stanley.
1. Stanley Eugene10 Womack (Reasie9, Richmond8, Richmond7, David6,
David5, Richard4, Richard3, Richard2, William1) was born April 08,
1920 in California, and died June 1966 in Modesto, CA. He married (1)
Ethel Marchand Abt. 1943 in California. He married (2) Betty Jean
Jones October 08, 1949 in Chico Butte Co., CA, daughter of William
Jones and Ida Miller. She was born August 08, 1931 in Nelson, Butte
Co., CA, and died June 25, 1995 in Butler, Butte Co., CA.
Children of Stanley Womack and Betty Jones are:
2 i. Kenneth Ray11 Womack,
3 ii. Ronald Womack, born . He married Gail Lynn Komerek; born Abt.
1955.
4 iii. Richard Womack, born
Let me know if this is the right one.
Stanleys death was in 1996 not 1966, hit the wrong button again.
CORRECTION....Stanley's children with Ethel Marchand were Kenneth Ray and Ronald. Richards spouse was Gail Lynn Komerek. Melissa made the correction for me on Kenneth and Ronald. Thanks
[posted by Mark Womack, markwomack@womacknet.com; I got this
some time back and thought it might apply to someone out
there.]
Dear Mark, I have no idea if your Womacks cross the path of my Adams,
but... There is a bible in the Nashville archives that includes the
Adams, Power, Paine, and Womack families. I know for a fact that my
Henrietta Power Paine married Wm G. Adams and that on the page
including the Adams there are Womacks. I believe that the Adams
(George bnC@1795 in Va) are in Va, move to Orange and Caswell Cos NC
and then on to Tenn. Robertson and Montgomery Cos as well as Dickson.
Can you tell me the names of your Womacks @ 1800 and if they
intermarried with the Adams Family?. The other family in there is the
Hobdy family of whom I have no knowledge. (Yolanda Reid tells me
there were many Hobdy families in Robertson. She is the County
archivist.) Many thanks, Meredith Adams Sheridan
Msheridan@pandora.be
Mark I tried that E mail address on that last posing yours..It is
a bad address
got it back as a no go!!
Note the new page designation--major links such as Sam's Place,
Samsville and Womack Wonderings are up and running--others are slowly
being worked in..lot of old URLs to change and cross reference
also--there will be a lot of construction going on; but in due time
should have it about 90% or better most of the time..
Would like to ask those who do visit any page with a guest page,
please leave a message if ye want to..or ask me about my personal
line. However, please post all queries about Womacks heah on WGN for
all to see and you will certainly get more responses!! Thankee
muchly..
Does anyone know anything about the organization, Sons of Confederate Veterans? Like, are they a good organization or some right wing supremo group . Qualification for joining seems to be proof of a veteran who served honorably in the Civil War. I just don't know anything about them. site is; http://www.scv.com
Dudettes and Dudes!
Ah done goofed on that URL below fergot the heytch tee tee pee
stuff!!
Rog,
As for the Sons of the Confed Vets; dont think no right wing supremo
bunch; jest a lot of good ole boys who got a closet full of dixie
cups!!
Hi! I'm just getting my feet wet with researching my father's family, so I really don't have a lot of information at all about them. The only thing I know for sure is that my great-grandfather's name was John Drewry Womack and that he was most likely born in the 1860's. His wife's name was Cora Williams, and I don't have any info on her either. Their children were: my grandfather, Algie Bertram (b. 1/21/1899 d. 2/2/81), Dillard Kermit, Amie, Hubert, Lester and Lovick. I know that's not a lot to go on, but if anybody has any information at all on this line, I would love to hear from you! Thanks!
On the who is father of Hawkins discussion, my late aunt, Helen
Womack, who was mentioned gave me some information saying that
Alexander was the father but later sent information that had David as
the father. She cited some other researchers who were cousins who had
used the DAR Library publication. I do not know which she believed to
true, but I would assume that she was then going along with the David
as the father scenario.
As always, I enjoy reading the site and finding out about so many
Womacks.
Re: Sons of Confederate Veterans
Roger,
I think the SCV as a whole is a good organization. From what I have
been able to gather, they are at least trying (now) to handle
Confederacy issues (ie flags, monuments, etc) in a way that is fair
and true to the spirit of rememberance. However, they are
uncompromising on a few issues (I think their website outlines a lot
of this). I don't know anything about local chapters or past actions.
I sure there are a few yocals.
They have a tough line to walk nowadays. On one hand they want to
honor the men that fought for the South during the Civil War, and I
think that is a good thing. But on the other hand, you can't escape
what it was they were fighting to retain. Yes, there is a strong
sense of creating their own country, but the right to own slaves is
still at the heart of the entire conflict. And with yocals saying
stuff like "The South shall rise again!", if I was African-American
I'd be very concerned when there is a group out there working to keep
Confederacy history 'alive'. I'm white and I'm concerned. I have
several ancestors that fought in the Civil War. I'm still trying to
understand their motivations (there is a really good book about
soldiers in the Civil War, I'll dig out the title later). But I think
the SCV appears to be trying to stop the history from being erased or
eradicated. Maybe someone else has another opinion. I'd love to hear
it. Opinions, not flames.
-Mark
Roger, I don't think the issue is whether the SCV is a good or bad
organization. It is, historically, one of the premier patriotic
organizations, like the DAR, SAR, and United Daughters of the
Confederacy. Even the DAR has taken its lumps lately. Every
organization is what you, we, or they (the members) make of it. The
issue is why you, and doubtless millions of others, have never heard
of it. In your case, it is probably your youth. Old dudes like me can
even remember when there were Confederate veterans around, not just
sons (now, mostly great-grandsons and great-greats). As long as the
old veterans were around, there was no thought of depriving them of
the honor that was rightfully theirs. I used to belong to the local
chapter some 35 years ago, but dropped it because they were already
beginning to cave in to the modern revisionism. The older members
were mostly yokels (Mark's word, thank you, Mark) in their dotage and
the young ones mostly gun nuts. That revisionism is now almost
universal. In the old days, when the GAR was still around (that's
Grand Army of the Republic, Union vets, and they probably still are
around, but you never hear of them), you never heard of any
aspersions cast on the Confederate vets or their descendants from
that side--valor respected valor. While vets on both sides were still
alive, it was common to say that bitterness and recrimination about
the "late unpleasantness," where it existed, was kept up exclusively
by those whose service was done many miles behind the lines.
San
RE,SCV;
Hello from the Yankee cus.
I read with interest the discussion about the S.C.V. While not a
member,I do know some friends of my brother,who lives in Ky.have a
chapter in Franklin Ky.
From what I have seen this chapter is mainly re-inacters,but they do
get into
the flag issue somewhat.One of the more honorable achievments of the
Franklin chapter was to excavate the graves of two confederate
soldiers who were executed
and quickly buried alongside some railroad tracks in the Frnklin
area. The bodies(remains) were reinterred in the Franklin Cemetary
beside some other
Confederate soldiers. I have not heard any subversive or rightwing
kind of talk from any of these men while I have been in their
company.So at least as far as this chapter of the SCV is concerned,I
don't feel they are a threat,just some people who feel that their
history should be kept alive, as do most ethnic groups in our
country. On another note, the south confederated because they felt it
was unconstitutional for the federal gov. to make decisions which
were reserved for the states to make. While I don't think this was
the case ,the south certainly did. TRUSTY
Looking for more iformation on my Uncle Robert Otto Womack. He lived in Okemah Oklahoma from 1919 on.Also any information John P Womack my grandfather. He was born 27 may 1861 in Warren County Tennessee.John's wife was Lena Bell e Webb.They had my mother abt 1893 probably in Warren county Tennessee.Need information on Maud's husband who went by the name Arthur Johnson.Maud died in 1919 and Arthur raised a second family.Would like their information.
Forgot to mention that the daughter of John P Womack and Lena Belle Webb was Maud Lee Womack.
I am looking for a George Lester Womack who was stationed in
Karlsruhl,
Germany in 1957-58 as an MP with the US Army. He was friends with
my
father and mother, Herman and Erna Miskelly, and my mother is
trying
to locate him. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
Hermann Miskelly, Jr.
Re: SCV & Civil War
I have the name of the book I mentioned earlier: For Cause and
Comrades, Why Men Fought in the Civil War by James M. McPherson.
My attempting to describe it in this tiny space would not do it
justice. I highly recommend it for researchers with ancestors that
fought in the Civil War, North or South. Mr. McPherson has done an
excellent job of going to original sources, the letters of Civil War
soldiers, to determine what their thoughts, attitudes, and goals were
in fighting the Civil War. Very well done book.
I am glad to hear some other voices in the discussion, and I am happy
to hear good things about the SCV. Sorry if my 'yokel' crack offended
anyone. We have them out here in California as well. :-) I would like
to learn more about this 'modern revisionism'. I don't suppose there
is a book written on the subject specifically in regards to the Civil

FYI...For all you Womac/Womack researchers in McMinn Co., TN.. The McMinn County Historical Society now has for sale a McMinn County cemetery book. It was written by Samme & Marvin Templin, the couple who have put all the cemeteries online.. I have no financial interest in this book, just passing info along..
Fer yer info-may-shun, I have added the data I had on Alexander
Womack of
IL/UT as an item to teh homepage above; including some photos, they
are fair as they were xerox copies prob of copies. I can tell one of
the people is definitely a related Womack! Look at Walters ears!!
Exact dupes of me own!!

Hi,
I'm just beginning to search my father's family-The Wommack's. I'm
from the Middle Georgia area, Sandersville, Washington County, GA. I
am searching for info on my ggg grandfather Wiley Wommack b. about
1756 probably in Wake County, NC. Some info has him listed as the son
of Albridgton Brittian Wommack b. abt 1730 in Isle of Wright, VA d.
abt. 1817 in Moore Co. or Chatham Co. NC. We do have some info that
says he was married to a Sarah Kendrick in Wake Co. NC but we have
been unable to locate any other info on either one. My gg grandfather
wasWilliam Wommack born Nov. 6, 1809 d. Sept.7,1878. He was married
To Mary A.Brantley about 1832. Their son, William Stewart Womack was
my great grandfather married to Corena Holley of South Carolina. If
anyone has any info
on these Middle Georgia families, I would appreciate hearing from
them. Thanks.
I hope someone can help me. I have very little info to go on and it has proved to be very difficult trying to find my lineage. I am looking for Richard and Sarah(Owens) Womack. I know of one child--Agnefo, Agne Fo, or Agnes Womack. She married Louis Gibbens, Gibens, or Gibbons. Both Louis and Agnes were born in N.C. Their children are John C., Charles A., A H , Rutha. All born in NC except Rutha. She was born in Oct. 30, 1839. Died May 12, 1924. They could have had more children. Rutha Ann Gibens married Giles P. VAn Zandt. I know that Louis Gibens (?) was a trader and he was listen in the 1850 Census, Greene co.,Mo. Please contact me at jcbvsb@aol.com if you can help me. Thanks. Carolyn Berdecia

this together...and WGN will remain your Womack home away from home
on the net..I am merely a tag-a-long heah..a back-up to the Big Guy
if needed...
Well, Well
ko-inky-dinks do happen!!
Rog and I have found out that we are double related
thru a line that married into the Womack's on his side;
and thru that same line came my great grandmother
marrying into the Womacks!
Any by the way Rog, there was a Pattillo married a Womack
in TX and I think that is on the TX stuff I have on the net.
