Biography

Born about 1840 to Gasaway Womack and Martha Parker in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

Residence: 1850: Census: Cleveland County North Carolina: Gazoway Womach head of household age 40, Martha age 40, John age 8, Eliza age 7, Anderson age 5, William age 3, Mary age 2

Residence 1860: Cleveland County, North Carolina as John Wommac age 20 in household of Gazaway Wommoc (51), Martha (52), ), Eliza (18), Anderson (17), William (15) and Mary (12).

Not much else can be documented easily except through family information posted online (few with source material.) An online family tree lists Betty Harmon as spouse and states that John P died at Gettyburg in 1863. ^[1]

Civil War records list one Corporal John P Womack age 22 with the 55th NC Infantry, Company C ,"The Cleveland Grays" in 1862 ^{[2] [3]} There are also two John Womacks, a John R Womack and four Womacks with first initial "J" in one of six other regiments. The spelling variants add other possibilities.

(Other possible local Womacks: Privates Addison Womack and William Womack are also listed here. Private Jonas Womack is listed with Company I of the 56th Regiment, "The Rutherford Rifles" ^[4] this is put here as a placeholder for now)
