Biography

Thomas T. Womack was born about 1819 in Warren County, Tennessee. He was the son of William Womack and Didama Webb. He passed away about 1856 probably in Shelby County, Illinois.

About 1835 Thomas, with his parents William and Didama Womack, moved to Shelby County, Illinois. Most of his siblings stayed in Illinois in Shelby or Moultrie (formed from parts of Macon and Shelby in February 1843) Counties. Brother Abner Womack moved on to Missouri about 1875. Brother Nathan Womack migrated first to Reno County, Kansas before 1880 then on to Blaine County, Oklahoma by 1900.

Thomas and Elizabeth left Illinois for a few years. Daughters Hannah and Hester were born in Indiana in 1840 and 1844. They were back in Shelby County, Illinois by 1846 when son William was born.
