This Thomas is often listed as son of Thomas Womack and Louvisa Rice. However, the evidence indicates he is not their son, but the son of their daughter Lucy Womack and her husband William Womack.
It appears as if all the references to Thomas, or Lewis, can be traced to two publications: The Descendants of Thomas and Louvisa Rice Womack by Oscar B. Womack (1970) and Reminiscences of Christenberry Lee 1823-1895 published in installments in the Forest City Courier from October 6, 1938 to January 19, 1939.[2]
