I'll cover lots of topics, but I do not have my notes in front of me,
so I may mess up.
The Isbell family that moved with the Sears family from Warren Co, KY
was probably related to the Elliott Isbell and Temple Isbell who had
dealings with Allen Womack in Warren Co, KY. Allen was the grandson
of Thomas > Abraham > Abraham. However, I think this may be
coincidence.
If you look closely at FGW in the 1850 Census of Fayette Co, IL, he
was in the same house as Frances Sears. The enumerator listed two
families in the same house. I missed that detail when I first
abstracted the census.
Gentry family researchers have Robert Gentry and wife Julia Simpson as
parents of John W Gentry and Joshua Gentry who married respectively
Rachel Womack and Elizabeth McQuarry Womack. My marriage CD has John
Gentry to Johanna Womack, and Jonathan Gentry to Elizabeth McQuarry,
both marriages in Adair Co, KY. Robert Gentry was in Adair Co, KY in
1820, and in Madison Co, IL in 1830; then they moved to Carroll Co, MO
where Robert died. John W Gentry is also on the 1830 Census of
Madison Co, IL, and I assume the female in his HH was Rachel/Johanna
Womack Gentry. I cannot find Joshua/Jonathan Gentry, but I bet he
moved with his dad to IL and died there, and then his widow, Elizabeth
Womack McQuarry Gentry, went to Montgomery Co, IL near her aunt Sarah
Womack Brown. Madison Co is on the SW corner of Montgomery Co, and
Fayette Co is just east of Montgomery.
I won't go through all the Jesse Womack/Sarah Daniel family, except to
say that I have seen them in the tax records of Bedford Co, VA. They
are sometimes listed as Warmack. There was a Robert Warnick there as
well - the tax records are quite clear that he was a Warnick and not a
Womack or Warmack. He has sometimes been included in the family of
Jesse Womack and Sarah Daniel, but this is wrong. This Robert Warnick
had Warnick descendants in OH and later IL and IN.
In the early 1800s, much of this family moved to Adair Co, KY. I have
read they are in the tax lists, but I have not seen the tax lists
yet. The tax lists may list FGW once he turned 21, though he may left
before then or been listed under his father.
Anyhow, William Womack moved to Adair, along with his mother Sarah
(who had remarried a Mr Edwards), his brother Jesse Jr, and some
sisters, including Sarah Brown and some of the Folden family. An
early Adair deed shows Jesse Jr and wife Hannah (Blackledge) as having
moved to Mercer Co, KY. They later moved to Indiana, where Jesse Jr
and Hannah were still alive in 1850.
There are two "Womack" families in early Adair Co, KY censuses that
confuse me. Richard "Warmack" in 1810 was probably a Warnock. The
"Mary Womack" in 1830 is a complete mystery. This may have been one
of those rare cases where someone who was not a Womack somehow got
listed with that name.
By the way, when I abstracted all the census records, I missed Mary
Warmack (75, VA) in the 1850 Census of Adair Co, KY. I believe this
to be Mary Judd Womack, widow of William (his second wife). In
William's Rev War Pension file, Mary Warmack had an affadvit in 1850
that said she was "seventy " (space left like they were going to
write another number), and that William had died Apr 1847. Judd
researchers have her born circa 1775-1780. Odd that her first
marriage was after age 50.
These Judd researchers have her married to William Warnock, born 1752
in MD. I think this is due to a mistake in the 1835 Pensioners List,
that says William Warnock of Adair Co, KY fought in the MD Line (in
the Rev War). It should say William Womack in the VA line. William's
Rev War pension is clear that he fought in VA.
William's pension is on
footnote.com. He is listed as William
Warmack, and name spelled that way mostly, though occassionally as
Womack. Unfortunately, he does not name his kids. The family of
William has been put together mostly based on proximity I believe -
all these kids married in Adair Co, KY.
In William's pension, he had an affadavit in Oct 1822, said he was
about 60, his wife Rachel was 44. Said he had 11 kids, two married
and 9 at home. Of the 9 at home, 8 were daughters. Of the 8
daughters, 4 were near grown and one of those 4 was "deranged", and
the other 4 were little.
So, in Oct 1822, the two married kids were Jesse (who had married
Delilah Blair) and Elizabeth (who had married John McQuarry). The one
son at home I believe was Francis Green Womack. Annette Womack
Carpenter's WorldConnect database has most of the daughters, but
missed two. It missed Mary, who in 1860 was listed as 59 and an
"idiot", living with brother Jesse Womack - she must be the one
William said was deranged. Also, Annete missed Eliza Womack, who in
1850 was 40, living with sister Appy Womack Denton Sullivan. Annette
was Appa or Appy listed as "Happy". Annette also has two sons for
William Womack that I do not agree with. She has John Womack married
to Elizabeth Cheatham, but my KY marriage CD shows that a John Rogers
married Elizabeth Cheatham in Adair that year - there may be some
confusion with Jesse's son John Womack who married Elivira Leach.
Annette also has a Richard Womack as the son of William, but no futher
info.
From the way William described his family, I think he had 9 daughters
and 2 sons. The marriage records of Adair show marriages for 7 of the
daughters, and 1 son - Jesse. Daughter Mary probably never married.
Maybe Eliza married after 1850. The son who did not marry in Adair
appears to be FGW.
The 1820 Census of Adair shows William with two other males the right
ages to be Jesse and FGW. The 1830 shows William with a male the
right age to be FGW.
I will order the tax lists of Adair soon to see if I can find FGW, but
given what we know about his sister Elizabeth, I am now pretty certain
he was the son of William Womack and Rachel Gilpin.
