Linda,

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear the first time about William "Buck" Womack and his father, William Womack.

I've tried to get my line correct, but as time goes on and we find more records, sometimes it's necessary to make corrections and I've just learned to be flexable. There's very little documentation, i.e. Wills, Bible records, etc. on William and Lucinda's children. I've had to rely on land, court, census and only one or two marriage records for my own Womacks. There are only census indices for 1820 through 1840 with only heads of households listed. The first Federal Census was 1795, and in TN not much before 1830. And as you know, many, many court houses burned before, during and after the Civil War, destroying our precious records. One of the worse losses we have in genealogy is having the 1890 census burn in Washington, DC. Twenty years is a long span of time between census records.

My David Womack's sister, Martha Womack married Robert Bean. Their daughter, Martha Bean married Levi Berry Womack, brother of your William "Buck" Womack. Now we have two Womack lines involved. In my office, I have paper copies of the research of three Bean and or Womack researchers, two of which were done back in the 1950s & 1960s. One lady's work was for admittance to DAR on the Revolutionary War service of Maj. Jacob Womack, including everything she ever found on any Womack, but she never proved Jacob's service. However, she has some early court records, land transactions and other records in GA and TN, which have both Robert Bean and the some of the children William Womack and Lucinda Womack. They must have spent a few years in GA before going back to TN. I'm sorry, but I don't have any more birth, death and marriage records in my files for the descendants of William and Sarah McBee Womack's children and grandchildren. But I'm here if you get stumped on the Womacks or any of your lines. I'd love to help you.

Beth

(From Linda: Beth, I'm leaving out much of what you sent me about the Womacks because I'm getting so far afield of the Hahns/Hawns. Doesn't mean I'm not interested, just means I've got to get back on track.)
