Well the worst thing possible that could have happened has happened. My hard drive died with most of my contact list. They are trying to revive it. Luckily I had backed up the tree to floppy before this happened, however I have lost my entire contact list along with Roger's Web site. Could you all please resend information that I have received from you all in the past 3 weeks. Thank you!!!!!

By the way, I have found some Minnesota Womacks (Wommack). I am trying to get in touch with them. It again has not been easy. They seem to be a little tight lipped.

For years I've tried to teach folks who receive my data that I compiled, to
give credit where due, same applies to blame. At least the name of the person
who created the data should stay with the data.
I just read a few of your messages under queries and reconized data that came
from me with out my name being attached. Those who did this was requested to
leave my name on the data. No need for me to name names, as they know who
they are. Appears there is no honor among genealogy gleaners as well as
theives.

Reference to comment on tight lipped in Arkansas. Had the opportunity to visit with the mayor in Rogers. He happens to be one of our Kin that came from the Fort Smith area. He happens to look like my spouse's uncle's twin. I have some contact with him at Chamber functions but he seems to be a little hoity toity to me. He doesn't have time to discuss us Womacks.

My specialized area of Womacks are from Illinois. They are now referred to here in Arkansas as ?#&* Yanks. I am tryin to clarify with folks here that we are not what they think we are. If you would like I can send a copy of what I have gotten from my family search in Illinois. That may fill out a piece of the puzzle for you.

Hopefully our Rogers kin will have more time when his term is up as mayor to get back to me on what he knows about the Womacks. Don't hold your breath on that one though Sam. It may be awhile.

LOL! Heck, I'll give credit where credit is due in case I haven't done so lately. With the exception of the family of Abraham Womack/Martha Mitchell and Martha ? and their offspring; Mansel's - which my own line which I've done quite a bit of work on myself and David's - which is Miles Womack's line and he and his kin have done all the work on the David line and it's related work back on Abraham - virtually all my information on the Womacks that I give out around here comes from "Descendants of William Womack and Mary Jane Allen" by Carlos U. Womack. Carl is my cousin - well 2nd cousin once removed - descended from the Mansel line as well. In the years since I've put the first 7 generations of his book on computer, I've made additions and corrections, and as per his request, I can answer on-line questions about it and give his version of lines to questioners, but he firmly does NOT want this thing uploaded anywhere. He does not like the services that carve this database into stone and never let you correct or add things later (I agree with that, BTW having fought that battle early on with the LDS ancestral file). Two people have copies of this database, one down the road from Carl (Carl doesn't have a computer, dear soul), and someone else (who saved my bacon one day when my computer trashed everything in sight and I had just mailed him a backup copy - ah the days before easy Zip backups!) And they are all sworn to the same rules about giving out info, updating it, and not uploading it. 7 generations runs most of his lines out to the Civil War, so it seemed like a reasonable place for the database to take a rest. The database actually has some lines (like mine) all the way down to today. His book actually takes some lines out 10 or so more generations down to today.

To answer other possible questions - no, Carl doesn't have any books for sale. No, Carl is not actively researching right now. Yes, the DAR has an earlier edition in their library. Yes, the FHL has an earlier edition on micro-whatever they can lend out. The edition I have (which is likely the last in print from about 10 years ago) runs to 7 thick 3 ring binders. No, not all lines are followed. And no, this is not the holy grail, there are additions and corrections and assumptions made - which is partly the reason for his rule on not uploading the thing.

I very very occasionally will pull out a line from a thing by Dempsey Monroe Kemp that I have around here, which is maybe 50+ years old and pretty flawed except for some documentary notes. And of course there is a pile of primary documents for my own line and other stray primary sources around. Other than that, I try to note what source I'm quoting from - which is generally a good practice anyway.

Ann. Actually, I don't think the DAR does have a copy of Carlos's book. I wish they did. But I've never found it there, and it's not in the online catalog. Too bad it's so bulky or else someone could try to get Carlos to give them a copy.

I could have sworn they had a copy. Someone around here does! Let me look at the catalogs.....ok, it's not the DAR, I don't think it's the Library of Congress, it's not the Library of VA. Well, heck, I'll have to see by running a search on a big database. I know I've seen it someplace other than the FHL. Carl doesn't have any copies left, so trying to get one from him is pretty helpless. I actually got my copy by getting another cousin of mine to go pick it up, as Carl didn't want to mail it - too much trouble - and it was his last copy so he didn't really want to part with it. I swapped that cousin a quilt for her trouble! LOL! Some times it helps to come from a tree with long branches! LOL!

I have just completed finding, and am uploading, some Womack or Womack related links that I have found on the net; as well as some Womack place name info.
I will be adding links as I find and can get them up there.

If you visit the links, and find some good data on the name. Please post it here for all of us - this will give some of you, who do not search much, some experience in searching. All you have to do is double click the links or the highlighted text shown..then find the Womacks, copy and share!

The last I knew, you can find Carlos' Book at a LDS Mormon Church Library.
It is/was on microfilm or disc and had to be ordered in. You can obtain a
copy from them on request.
There's a fellow in Ca who did this, can't remember his name off hand and I
commuicated with him way back when by USPS for a long time. I'll try to locate
him in my files and share with anyone interested.

From what I have heard(I havent seen the book), the book is to be used as is the LDS IGI - as a clue giver with a grain of salt and a lotta hope and prayer. Havent heard enough about it that it should be taken as a "holy grail" for Womack research...Also appears to me that a person who had gaps in their research, would applaud those who want to carry on her/his work. And, appreciate them amending it with corrected and up to date info - as well as connecting new lines. To do otherwise would deflate the work they, as well as that of others, have done. That would be quite stingy and selfish to say the least....

I attended the Womack Family reunion in Warren County, TN yesterday. It was the first I have attended in over 30 years. Less than 30 people were there but we had a great time and saw some Womacks I had not seen in many years and made some new friends as well. A number of people are actively working on the family history but do not use the Internet. Towards the end of the meeting, a discussion was held on the future of the association. Sinse most of the attendees were older and the attendance has decreased over time, there is some thought on discontinuing the group. This would be very sad as they have met continously sinse 1954. Hopefully, more can attend in the future as this group is an integral part of Womack family history.

Could any Womack family tell me about an elusive Grandfather of mine?
His name is Tignal Archey Womack. He came from Kentucky, and fought in the Civil War. My Great Grandmother is his daughter, Jesten Womack. He was supposed to have been thought dead after the war, and ended up starting a new family in Texas unbeknownst to his family in Kentucky. Although it may never be known why he decided to do that, he is still Grandpa. Can anyone tell me something about him? Please e-mail me at kat_biggs@hotmail.com.

Hi there, I've not been here in a while due to raising 2 small grandchildren again. But I was just wondering if any of you other Womack researchers have ever come across a Womack Polish line? My grandfather, Berton Womack, always said that his Womack's were of Polish Blood. But I have never been able to find any link at all. Has anyone else ever heard this in their family history?

Just wondering?
Thanks,

Jeanie,
Growing up I was told "Womack" was probably or Chech or Polish. At this point I would say we’re probably of English extraction. My Grandfather E.E. Womack, always said he was part Black Dutch, later I found his mothers’ ancestors were German, African/American and Lumbee Indian. At this point I can assume the Dutch part is in error. My mothers’ line was Caucasian, Costillian, and Indian. Sure wish I could claim some Cherokee here, but probably just another non-recognized tribe. I would guess us Womack’s can claim about anything we want. The Womack’s have been here in America for about 350 years, give or take a few. I would guess we have a good mix of ethnic backgrounds. The good news is I have not found one Womack yet claiming to belong to some pure-blood right-wing organization. If there is one out there he’s one of the "slightly advanced" ones we don’t want to claim anyway. So Jeanie, are you Polish? I have some good jokes.
Just kidding, Your Cuz

samsawadee@uswest.net

Womacek is Czech - a similar name - Novak or Novack is Polish and can be as mistaken for Womack as Weymouth and Wilmoth were in the past -- Womachka is a, I think, Polish name and only three people, at last known count, exist with that last name in either IA or NE as I remember - need to prob pull some notes - there was one lady who said her ancestor was an Earl of Edinburgh, meaning Scots, who was beheaded in the 1300's and the rest of the Family fled to Holland - there is a Womack in England whose grandgfather migrated to England from Holland - I have found a Womack, born in 1899 in Berlin GE--WE have heard, from many sources, that three brothers came to America from Scotland, but not one dang shred of evidence that a Womack ever lived in Scotland or migrated from there; unless he fled from England and caught the boat there...the BEST evidence points to merry auld England and I will stick with that until someone can come up to me with a ton of paper and tell me my 90th great grandpa was something from somewhere and the paper proves it..
Same thing with Native American lines - it is quite natural that some Womacks married Native Americans - and nothing wrong with that - but for any Womack to claim 100% Native American is stupid, cause if he or she has one drop of Womack in them it aint 100% pure NA!! you can breed down, but never get rid of that one drop of NA, or breed up and never get rid of that one drop of Womack -
The only pure blood NA Womack would be from an adoption!! So lets quit kidding ouselves, and our descendants/other relatives - what we hear aint so - We Womacks are a Heinz 157 buncha people and we oughta be dang pround of it!!

Roger, by "Dutch" they probably meant German - Deutsch. Black Dutch is more interesting - that shows up in the south and often turns out to mean tri-racial. I have a family in Arkansas said to be Black Dutch, and they could have landed by UFO for all I can trace them. They are one of my deadest dead-ends.

Now, as to the Native American thing - I can take a fairly good guess as to why someone would think that Womack was itself a NA name. Take a look at the map of VA, and check out the coastal VA places named with NA names. You've got Potomacs, Accomacks, etc. Lots of names ending in omac or omock or some variation. Given a lack of documentation for an immigrant, it doesn't take much to hazard a guess that maybe they were natives. It's probably not a CORRECT guess, but it's probably where the guess came from.

My sister's in-laws, OTOH, are Czech, and their best guess was that the Womack side of our family was Womacek and that we had Czechs up the family tree (my nephew is named for a Womack ancestor, so the name came up in conversation as to why he had this odd name). Nope. That's about the one ethnicity that doesn't show up in my family until now!

Well, glad to see you can still get a rousing conversation going here! LOL And as for the Black Dutch, that is folks of German descent because my father was Cherokee and Black Dutch. The Seabolt name is a German name and they were considered Black Dutch. 2 German brothers came to America in 1754 on the ship Friendship. They landed in Pennsylvania and some of their children migrated to Tennessee by way of North Carolina where they married into the Cherokee Nation.But they inter-married with the Cherokee to the point that we've lost most of the German blood and most of us now have more Cherokee blood than anything else.
But like you said Sam, that make us Womack's a bunch of Heinz 57's. *grin* But thats alright cause that just makes us more interesting! LOL

But just for the record...my Mother is the Womack and I have traced 3 of her 4 family lines and all of them have traced back to England. So this particular bunch of Womack's seemed to stick with their own kind. Anyway, might explain why my mother's grandfather didn't want her to married my father who was the Cherokee Indian? Guess that dark skin scared them! LOL

Keep up the good work everyone and I'll try to remember to check back more often!
Later,

I have never heard of German entering into the picture in our line until the later years. I have often been told by my father in law that they were of English/Welch descent and not German. However I have not been able to document this. As far as Indian entering into our line it came via my mother in law not through our section of the Womacks.

I have brought all the mixes into this section with being of German, Jewish, English and Canadian French descent. It should add some spice to the family down the road.

I will try to contact Aunt Iris and see if I can verify any of the comments. My understanding is she has the family bible.

The term 'Black' Dutch came from the fact that these people were wearing black clothing as a mark of the religion, usually of the 'reformed' church,they belonged to. I believe you have the 'Amish' in the US today, which wear similar habit.

Re: "Injun Abe"
My grandmother, Mattie Womack, used to tell me about "Injun Abe" when I was a girl. She grew up on the Womack family plantation in Apple Springs, and "Injun Abe" (Abraham James Womack) was her grand-
father. My grandmother told me that he was 1/2 Indian. She carried a paper until the day she died saying that she was of Choctaw blood, and often spoke of it. My mother says that the family story she heard was that the original indian boy was adopted by a white family and later married the daughter of the family. I can't equate that story
with the records that I have found, as the wives last names are always different than the husbands. I have also heard the indian boy married a neighbor. If anyone else has heard a family legend about this I would like to know....with all the grandchildren there should be lots of stories and perhaps if they overlap we can search in a certain
direction....

Lets see if I can get this straight and put it out to you all in a diferent context than with actual names.

Girl 1 and Boy 1 get married - they are said to be cousins - to what number we dont know.

Boy 2 son of Girl 1 and Boy 1, marries Girl 2, also said to be his cousin.
So here is where our preplexion starts -

If boy2 and Girl 2 are first cousins, then their mothers would have to be sisters-or the father of Boy2 and mother of girl2 are sibs--only way to get a first cuz outta this--

If Boy 1 and Girl 2 are second cousins - then the mother of Girl2 and the father of either Girl 1 or Boy 1 are siblings -

However, we know that the mother of Boy2 and the mother of Girl2 are not siblings. That leaves thru the fathers line..of Boy2...where this relationship is. Or that of Girl 1.

Either way we know that the line of Girl2 and Boy2 are closely connected somewhere in time. More close than we realize; but, what is the connection?
Your thoughts??

Ancestry.com has a Civil War pension index database up and public for the next week or so. It's got 97 Womacks listed - I think the database is Union pensions only.

Hi all,

I will archive old messages tomorrow. And I'm still working on updating the member list. Something will be in the works by the end of August, if not sooner. There is a huge backlog of people to get into the list. It's going to take some time.

Simmon Taylor m. Sarah Warmack on 10-1-1865 in Lafayette, MS. John Womack must have died by 1865 and Sarah married Simmon Taylor. Maybe John died in the Civil War or something. Looks like John Womack is 20 years older than Sarah.

I am trying to find out information on my great-grandfather, Clay Howard Womack and his mother, Matilda Womack. I do not, unfortunately have a lot of information to go off of. From my Grandmother's birth certificate, I know Clay Womack was born somewhere in Illinois, somewhere around 1892-93. From old family photographs I have, it seems likely that at some point they lived in Collinsville, Illinois.
Clay Womack, eventually married, Grace Ellen Cook and they moved to Detroit, Michigan, where my Grandmother, Virginia Lee Womack was born in 1918. Supposedly, Clay Womack ran for the Michigan State Legislature sometime in the 1920's or early 1930's. Somewhere around the mid 1930's, they moved to California.
I would love to verify whether he had indeed run for State Legistlature and I would like to find out more about the past history. I have had no luck looking up census records and In general I need some guidance. I have tried off and on for the past year and a half and I still have no more information then when I started. If there is anyone willing to show me the way, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I just looked up some data on the GenWeb and what I saw was a Joke - a whole
page of obits from a newspaper, no dates of the obits and no dates of death-
some could be figured out close as the dates of birth and age at death were
there. But this is a good example of how NOT to post data for all to see.
Info such as this is practically, if not all the way, worthless..
I have also ran across data that looks as if it were thrown out there to perk someones over rated ego so they could say they posted something to the web - in one instance, I found the same data listed three times - and more times than I can remember, duplicates abound...
I have found data posted by some "Womack" researchers, a couple, that was not privatized. Subsequently, information on living people is out there that shouldnt be - I think the rule, as a courtesy, would be to privatize anything under 1900-1910--ensure when posting queries that names approximate(if unknown), dates or time frames are listed, and approximate locations - or heresay locations if that is all that is available -
And the most important part of posting queries; dont post and ask for data unless you are willing to share your complete data data, on the subject at hand, with the someone who replies!!
OK enough of Sam's Soapbox - would have posted on my message board, but no one reads it so posting here!!

Also read with interest that drivel on Thomas and Louvisa and the Abraham/Blanton adultery producing Thomas and etc!! Try reading my post, which I made a new one, the other too long. I am beginning to believe that as much as I take with many grains of salt the genealogy of Mildred Pryor back to Adam and Eve!! Cheez!! What an imagination someone had!!!

This is a proposal (no not an indecent one!).
I propose, because of the total lack of creditable evidence, we table any and all research on "William the Immigrant and Mary Jane Allen Womack." Mebbe sometime in the future someone will run across one lil piece of paper that might contain the damning evidence that has haunted so many for so long. I feel we should concentrate on those we know, can find information on; and, exchange that info here on WGN. Not the Gen Forum nor anyother forum; but here where it should be--THE WOMACK GENEALOGY NET...

Well, as it happens, quite a lot is known about the family of Robert E. Lee. There is a book - the name of which is escaping me, so I'll hop over to a site for a sec.....ah, Lees of Virginia - Seven generations by Paul Nagle publ 1990 or so - which covers the most famous lines but is mostly a narrative not a genealogy type writing - non-famous lines not well covered although there is, as I recall a nice chart in there someplace of the main lines. And Lee of Virginia published around 1890 or so, republished around 1950 with addenda - is more of a genealogy type thing. The Lees are basically related to everyone in VA. Seriously, Richard the Immigrant Lee had 8 children. He's buried over in the Lee burying ground....I think officially called the Cobb Burial Ground, in Ditchley, VA. Of his children, the only one I've paid attention to is Charles Lee, known to me as the least of the Lees, the youngest kid. There was a Lees of Virginia Society - I haven't heard from them lately - their archives is, I think, over in the Alexandria VA public library - last I heard about them was about 6 months ago, they had sold up one of the Lee museums in Alexandria to raise some money - the upkeep was killing them - I think that was one of the Robert E. museums. There is also the Jamestowne Society, which counts Richard Lee descendants as possible members. And there are lots of Lees in the VA genealogy publications. As to Lees related to Womacks. Well, none that I know of, but then, like I said, they were related to virtually everyone in VA. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find some convergence on some Womack line. Fortunately, the Lees were veterans at writing wills and other documents like diaries and deeds. Happy hunting!

While digging around in Ancestry.com, I came across these Womacks:
Arthur Womack, b. ? in Lopham, Eng.; d. June 18, 1607; m. Alice Rouse
Married May 12, 1579 in Hargham, Eng. Father named William Womack

Child of Arthur: Lawrence Womack Sr., b. ? in Eng.; d. July 1642

Child of Lawrence Sr: Lawrence Womack Jr, b. May 12, 1612, Norfolk,

Does anyone know more about these folks? Also I wonder why our

I have read with interest these query pages for the past month and thank those
who responded to my direct mail. My question is how is it not one researcher
seems to be aware that Richard Womack III had a daughter named Ann. Her 1760
marriage to Josiah Allday is listed in the Early Marriages of Lunenburg County,
Virginia. She is identified as the daughter of Richard Womack. She and her husband, Josiah, moved from VA to St.George's Parish, GA ca.1765 along with her
father, Richard Womack and his family.(St.George's later became Burke Co.Georgia
after the Revolution) Both the Alldays and the Womacks received Royal Land
Grants from King George between 1768 and 1770.

Roger,
It is apparent from Alexander's Will dated 1784 that he did indeed have a
daughter named Anne Driscal. This however, was not the Ann, daughter of Richard
who is named in the book Early Marriages in Lunenburg County, VA. Ann Allday
is found in many records in Burke County after the death of her husband ca. 1786. She is on the tax rolls of 1799, the census of 1800, and received her own
headright land grant in Burke County. I have been to the Archives in Atlanta
numerous times researching the Alldays and Womacks and have the documents from microfilm to substantiate the above.

Monday, July 31, 2000 at 15:41:06 (PDT)
Ann McDonald
quiltdog@yahoo.com

Ann, the reason no one has listed an Ann as a daughter of Richard III is basically that as far as I can remember Richard III left no will or listing of his children and so his children have to be inferred from other documents. Much of those have to do with say, Jesse Womack being known in Burke Co as his son, then Abraham being known as Jesse's brother, etc. The list I have lists ONLY sons for Richard III, which is statistically improbable. Frankly, I haven't done much on the line as I'm still sorting out Abraham's family and his children, so that would be the next step back for me. If you grab ahold of the document from Lunenburg Co that shows that she was his kid, you've got alot more than most of us have! LOL!

Its me again. Does anyone have a Margaret Womack marrying a Melvin Jones in Kentucky in the latter part of the 1800s? She is the daughter of Mary Elizabeth Moore and Tignal Archer Womack (son of Richard D. and Harriett). Their other daughter, Jessie married John Counts, was widowed and then married Josephus Martin Baker.

And, to ROGER AND SAM, I have ordered some fiche which I hope will show Tignal Archer and Mary Elizabeth's marriage record in Virginia. This one will supersede his subsequent "marriage" to Melissa L. Shows (Amelia Flowers???) in Texas.
