- Francis Marion Womack was son of Isham Rice Womack and grandson of William Womack and Lucy Womack. In describing the children of his grandparents he says:
- My Grandfathers family of children were oldest, Josiah, I never met him. He raised a large family of children, his wife was named Comfort. Do not know her maiden name. Uncle Josiah had a large family of children. I never knew but little of his family. He had a grand son whose name was Rufus,, he has been at my fathers house often - was graduated at old Irvin College [Irving College, in Warren County, Tenn.] about the year 1851. He would always come to my fathers during vacation. He died in Texas several years ago was a school teacher and Methodist preacher. Uncle Josiahs family is scattered, can't tell any of their whereabouts.
- 2nd. Aunt Sallie married Jeremiah Blanton, said to be a nice man. Some of his family now living in Texas. Aunt Sally said to be a very nice woman.
- 3rd. Thomas Womack had a wife and two children. He died. I never knew what became of his wife and children.
- 4th. Uncle Burton Womack died young.
- 5th. Isham Womack my father was the 5th child. ...
- In 1789 and 1790, William Womack was in Franklin County Georgia. He received a warrant for 450 aces of land in Franklin County on 7 Sep 1789 "on his own & family head rights" (Georgia Headright and Bounty Land Records). His survey on 10 Sep 1789 was only for 375 acres, perhaps because he picked the best land and did not want to pay taxes on poor land. Per Georgia head right laws, a man could get 200 acres on his own head rights, plus 50 acres per family member or slave. William Womack's son Isham Rice Womack was born 29 Sep 1789, according to the memoir of his son, Francis Marion Womack. Thus, Isham Rice Womack was not yet born on 7 Sep 1789, when William got the land warrant. William's family consisted at that time of very pregnant wife Lucy Womack (daughter of Thomas Womack and Louvisa Rice) and 4 children: Josiah, Sarah, Thomas and Burton. Thus, William got a warrant for 200 acres for himself, plus an additional 50 acres each for his wife and 4 children, totaling 450 acres. William Womack must have signed over his survey to someone else, because there is no record of the final land grant for him for this survey.
- William Womack was not on the Rutherford Co, NC 1790 Census, near mother-in-law Louvisa (Rice) Womack, because he was clearly in Franklin Co, GA in 1790. The 1790 Census for Georgia is completely missing, but land records and a petition place William Womack there.

The idea of a space page is a good one because it allows you to see all the records and developments at once. The space page is linked to the profile and the profile linked to the space page.
Robert, Eric and I understand what we are discussing. I don't feel a free space page is warranted. That would result in locking the discussion away from others who have an interest in the subject.

I realize the Womack name in all its spellings is a large and confusing family. And assistance with sorting them is greatly appreciated.
Lynette Jester, Southern Colonist and Southern Pioneer researcher.
You said "Christenberry Lee is indeed a nephew as he stated." Lee is a nephew of whom? Where does he state this? My research indicates he is unrelated to the Womacks.
You also said William & Lucy Womack were on the 1790 Census. In what state and county? I abstracted all the extant federal census records for years 1790 - 1850 here: (http://womackgen.com/ew/index.html). There was no William Womack in any extant 1790 census. There were several William Womacks in 1790, but they were in Virginia and Georgia, both of which lost all their 1790 Census records.
I have been doing extensive Womack research for about 20 years. My websites (http://womackgen.com/) represent about 10% of what I have.
And I don't have a clue where Rebecca comes from. Sometimes people think everyone needs a middle name, or at one time Sarah was conflated with another person named Rebecca. How many votes do I get to remove Rebecca as middle name?
All sources must be considered individually and the fact that some have errors as well as factual information must be taken into account.
Christenberry Lee's memoir has several mistakes. Those include incorrect names for the parents of Thomas and Archer Blanton; the statement that they immigrated from England; and that they were married, as they were not.
He does correctly explain the relationship between Thomas Blanton/Womack and Archer Blanton, but that should not persuade us to accept everything he states as fact.
