Found some pension applications for Republic of TX vets,
1832-46
will be putting on line shortly....
Reference previous message -- they are on line now
Hi all. I was so excited to finally see someone who is researching the same family as my line. I have answered Carolyn Berdecia privately and sent her some info and hope to "talk" to her again. If anyone else out there is also researching this line, I would love to hear from you.
I am searching for information on my great-grandmother's family,
she was married to James Landrum Womack, b. 10 Jun 1855 in Franklin,
Rutherford or Macon, NC, d. 1 Apr 1926 in Cordele, Crisp, GA; married
5 Jan 1878 to Laura Adalaid Constant, b.28 Sep 1860, Bryson City,
Swain, NC, d. 17 Feb 1928, Macon, Bibb, GA. Her father was John J.
Constant, b. Abt 1833 in TN, d. Abt. 1870, NC; Her mother was
Elizabeth Delozier, b. 23 Jul 1842, d. Abt. 1870, NC. It is rumored
that both the Constants and Deloziers were of Cherokee decent, but I
have found nothing to indicate this. Any help would be
appreciated.
I am also searching for information on my Grandfathers siblings,
children of James Landrum Womack and Laura Adalaid Constant.

OK Chilluns,
I did two web pages today. One for phone and address listings for
Womacks in AR, and one for AZ. The AR Womacks are accessible thru
Samsville; AZ thru
Wonderings...The lists are not conclusive because of unlisted
numbers; and, God forbid in this day and age, those who have no
phone! Will be working NV and UT and NM shortly. Keep tuned in to WGN
for the latest and greatest in Womack happenings!!
Oh yes, found a Sam Womack in OR, got a reply but his grandfather
doesnt know much; said the family split back East a long time ago..he
may be getting involved shortly as I gave him the URL for here, he is
17, so if he comes in, lets all welcome him and assist as we
can...
I also found a Sam Womack in AK and sent mail there awaiting
reply..
Been pondering this for a while, though I would throw it out there
for everyone. In the past we have tried to connect Sarah Womack who
married James Archdeacon Cody as the daughter of Richard and Ann
Childers, Carlos has Richard and Ann, no last name and another line.
The problem I am having with either of those is back to the dating
problem. If their daughter Mary,married George Lumpkin Sept 20, 1748,
guessing I would say she was probably bornsomewhere between 1727 to
1732, and if that is the case then how old was Sarah Womack, guessing
1710- 1715. She is more age wise in line with the age of Richard III
as possibly a sibling rather than a daughter, we have very little on
Richard Jr. s children Thomas Womack who married Sarah Woodson was
not the daughter of Thomas Womack sp Mary Farley,
Thomas who was the son of Thomas Womack and Mary Farley married a
Mary.
Thomas Womack Will, Nottoway WB 2: 78 1803-1809. (exract taken from
will)
Thomas Womack of Nottoway Co., Virginia leave wife Mary all Estate,
after her death, to my daughter Martha Hurt, negroes Dick, Bet and
Esther also the Mill I purchased of John Philips with land & app_
_t also 1/2 stock except sow & pigs & 2 cows & calves,
also 1/2 household furn. to her and her heirs forever.
To grandson Anthony (Hurdly ?) Womack tract of land where I now live
& negroes Lanny & Miles also 1 sow & pigs & 2 cows
& calves also 2 best feather beds & bedsteads, 1 walnut
cupboard & 1 desk. also my int in estate of my brother William
Womack. also 1/2 of my household & kitchen furn & all my
plantation utensils. To my grandau Mary Edwards Hurt, 1 feather bed
& furn. No appraisal of my estate wife Mary sole Exec 14 Dec
1803. So this proves this Thomas is the son of Thomas and Mary
Farley.
So back to the question of Thomas and Sarah Woodson. Hubert
Mcalexander Jr. e-mail: hmcalexa@arches.uga.edu , sent me this.
Thomas's holding on Sappony Creek evidently came from his father
Richard Jr.. His brothers Richard and Matthew are also involved in
land transactions on Sappony Creek. These three also appear in 1736
lower Henrico Co. Quit Rent Roll.
So we have a Thomas, Matthew and Richard as possible siblings, we
know Alexander was a son also, could Richard Jr. have had daughters
and was Sarah Womack who married Archdeacon possibly one of his
children? At least it worth looking in that direction. The date sure
line up better. I think. Hope you followed me on this one.
You can follow the above link to a mention of Womack in a recent
comic strip. i don't know if anyone else out there follows the
Pirahna Club (it used to be called "Ernie"). The characters are
usually doing to something to finagle their way through life...with
humorous results. IMHO.

Roger
Know of a person that does Lumpkin research, have funnelled info her
way a few times. Will query her and see if she can enlighten us on
the Lumpkin angle.
Help! I have an off the wall question, not really relating to
anyone in the Womack lines but do need help!
The question is, or better yet an example:
Jane Doe, b. Dec 20, 1844; d. Dec 4, 1883
Now that is easy enough to figure her age at death, but then comes
along information from the family bible (from AL):
Jane Doe, aged 3 yrs, 1 Lack 11 days.
What on earth does Lack mean?
It's obvious the woman did not die when she was only 3yrs old by the
dates shown. Have you ever heard/read anywhere of 'lack'?
Roger, boy did you throw me for a loop with the last post!
I have been gone for awhile and may have missed some vital info on
Thomas who married Sarah Woodson. On file I have that his parents are
Thomas & Mary Farley Womack, his parents Abraham & Sarah
Worsham Womack, his parents William & Mary Jane Allen Womack.
Daughter of Thomas & Sarah Woodson, Sarah (b.c1740) married
Thomas Reams c1766 Chesterfield Co., VA.
Has this Texas heat really fried my brains and I just can't think
straight or do I have things listed wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jamie
PS. Thanks for the great site, it's the best I've seen yet!
OK, to update the information I posted about June 29, 1999, I have
just
gotten back from the Social Security Admin., the applications by
my
Grandfather, Robert Kendrick Womack, and his sister, Annie Virgil
Womack for
their SSNs. I was mistaken in my assumption of where in Georgia they
were
born. In fact, both were born to parents Joseph Emerson (or
Emmerson)
Womack and Annie Eliza Lokey in Blakely, Early County, Georgia just
before
and after 1900.
Parents: Joseph Emmerson Womack & Annie Eliza Lokey
Children: Annie Virgil Womack, b. 7 Sep 1895 in Blakely, Early Co.,
GA
Robert Kendrick Womack, b. 25 Oct 1903 in Blakely, Early Co., GA
I'm certain that there were other children, but these are the only
two that
I ever met and remember enough about to track down. Does anyone
recognize
the family?
My GGrandmother was Arminda Womack. She was born feb.6, 1869 in
White
County,TN. Her parents were James Womack and Sarah Crain. She
married
Thomas J. Mayes. I have just recently began to research this line
and
would love to have Arminda's lineage confirmed. I would also love to
hear
from any of Arminda and Thomas Mayes' descendants.
Found these while looking for something else at the Library of VA

Ok Chillun's after due consideration, some oil burnin, and
consultation with
Roger; I have posted every Womack that has an unlisted phone number,
that I can
find for the western half of the US, also including Puerto Rico and
the Virgin
Islands. American Samoa and Guam had none...any one would like to
copy some of the others, I will post them also, but please use
www.snap.com to do your search, and Puhleeze DO NOT use rtf--that
stuff is the pits when you upload or download something--save it as a
txt file with
on the beginning and
at the end to ensure it holds format - editing is such a task ye
know!!
oops the pre before and the /pre after - seems you cannot use the lil thangs above the comma and the period in examples!! bu tthe do have to enclose the above two thangs.. sorry
Need info about Melissa Frances Strother/Strawther who married Thomas Kendrick Womack and had at least one child born in Madison County, Texas, in 1886. Melissa was born in Centralia, Trinity County, Texas. She was 30 years of age at the time of the birth of this child. The child's name was Lula Candace Womack and Lula is buried in San Angelo, Texas. ALL CLUES are important.
I want to find and know about people with the surname FINNETT. Originated in France, and emigrated to UK with the Norman invasions. I want to know more about the surname and it origins.
I am searching for the parents of Emma Louisa Womack married Ansley Giddens (spelled variously) in Tipton Co TN c 1830. They migrated to Dallas Co AL mid 1830s. We have some indirect evidence that her father may have been a James Womack. The 1850 US census for Dallas Co Al shows J.H.D. Womack age 50 b TN. In the household is Elizabeth Womack age 72 b. NC. We think J.H.D. may be Emma Louisa's brother and Elizabeth her mother. I hope someone has run across this branch of the family and can steer me in the right direction. (Ansley Giddens was born in Iredell Co NC 1809)
Willian N. Womack born January 17, 1860 married Leota E. Lawson born September 25, 1865. They were from Arkansas. If anyone has any information regarding William or Leota, please email. I have a friend whose only family information is this and she would like to know more about her family. My friends mother was Clara Womack, born December 22, 1899 and died January 18, 1982. Clara did not speak, but used sign language. Please help if you can.
where can i get imformation on my family tree
Maybe here if you give us a little more than an e-mail address.
With Sams help I have made my first attempt at a homepage. I think every thing is working. Let me know if something don't.
I am looking for the parents or any information on Steinbeck Womack or James B. Underwood. Steinbeck married Martha Johnson and they had three sons and two daughters. James married Emma Loafman and they had seven children together. Any help would greatly be appreciative. Thanks
Seems to me I heard somewhere that someone said that the wife of
Lester Gillis,
aka Baby Face Nelson, was Helen Womack..would appreciate knowing
where that came from, OTHER THAN THE MOVIE SYNOPSIS fromt he movie in
1997..have an A&E documentary on him and some photos of her and they
showed the names on the marriage certificate, and her name clearly
was not Womack...so, please drop some info here on WGN and we will go
from there OK
This message is for Womacks/Legends of Cripple Creek, CO. During the month of July 99 we had some difficult in having a slot teck recogonize and record our small jackpot. The individual working that area(level) explained he was too busy re-filling empty hoppers; some one else would have to record our jackpot, that he would send some one else to record the jackpot and eventual payoff. Approx 40 minutes another slot teck from a different playing area(level) asked why our jackpot had not been recorded early as he saw that it was a hand pay over 30 minutes ago. He had not checked earlier as he too had seen the other slot teck speak w/me and assumed all was well. To make a long story short we were promtly attended to. Shortly after a Mr Jack White not only offered his apologies, but compt us a dinner for two. We finally made use of the meals on Aug 22d. We were pleased with the meal and service. However, we have always been pleased with all branches of service in your casino. We are fairly frequent, but low end players and are always treated the same as though we were spending hundreds per visit. We are members of several Cripple Creek Card club casinos. We have been gambling in Cripple Creek since day 1 and can make no better recommendation than your casino! I have never written or emailed a casino before, but feel your staff should be recognised for their continued "special treatment" to all players.
Dont know that the previous message was; but think a very distinct
case of
mistaken ID!!! There is a Womack Casino or something there in Cripple
Creek, and bet this is what has happened!!
Womack's Casino is indeed in historic Cripple Creek, Colorado. It
is named for the first man to find gold in this great gold camp,
Robert Miller "Bob" Womack. You can read his story in WGN's feature
articles.

basic same description..

I need help with. The name is James Womack, born 1775 in Rutherford

Bowers, born abt 1784 and died 1870. I would appreciate information

Timothy, What I have on your line is your granfather was Charles Wendell Womack,; s/o Yancy Turner b1902 sp Veronica E. Doran; s/o Yancy Tooms b1861 sp Martha Lucinda Kerr; s/o William Womack sp Sarah Elizabeth Miers. I have some conflicting info from here back, I'll send you what I have found e-mail.
Steve,
James that married Margaret Bowers was the son of Thomas and Louvisa
Rice.
Let us know your line down to you and I'll send you what I have.
Has anyone come across a Blanton that changed his name to Womack when he came to Tex.? An older cousin told us this about 30 yrs ago. Haven't found a way to check it out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Betty,
There is an old story going way back, I have it somewhere here, and I
think Roger and others also have it..for brevity it goes something
like there may have been a Womack male and Blanton female living out
of wedlock; children yes, but two sons; supposedly one took the name
Womack from his father; and the other took the name Blanton from his
mother; and that is the short of it..the long gets a bit more
involved..however as I remember this was in the 1700's sometime--but
descendants of the one who took Blanton, could call themselves
Womack, I guess, if they wanted---I think the version I have was
written by a greatgrandson who was a preacher; not that that gives it
any credibility...
Re: Monroe Co, Al. 1860 census, William Wamac [Womack], Age 33, Wife Elizabeth [?] Womac age 30 allspeled Womack on 1880 census. Children listed Lewis 12, Mary 10, Julius 7, Willian Henery 3, Zela 1. Thomas added on 197o census. Does anyone out their know where these Womacks came from? I think maybe Butler Co. Al., no prof or what part. His son William Henery married Addie Elizaeth Traweek of Butler co. Al. 27 Dec 1883.
