Notes:
  1. See Tennessee County Formation to see when the counties in Tennessee were created.
  2. See Early Tax lists at the Tennessee State Archives. White males had to start paying a poll tax from the age of 21, but I am not sure at what age they were excused from the poll tax. The TN Archives site says age 50, but I am not certain that was the case in some of the earlier lists. Major Jacob Womack was probably in Grainger Co, TN in 1799, but he was old enough to not have to pay the poll tax. Likewise, William Womack (1753-1820) was probably in Franklin Co, TN or Warren Co, TN in 1812, but not listed because he was too old.
  3. Jackson Co, TN was adjacent to White Co, TN until 1842 when Putnam Co, TN was formed. David and Johnston Womack apparently moved from Grainger Co, TN to Jackson Co, TN, and thence to White Co, TN. By 1816, they had moved to Lawrence Co, AR (which was then part of Missouri Territory). The Womacks in White Co, TN in 1825 were part of the Thomas Womack and Louvisa Rice family.
  4. See the Izard Co, AR Couch GenWeb site. There is a link for the 1816 Tax list of Lawrence Co, MO Territory (AR Territory was formed from MO Territory in 1819). Note the following Womacks in Lawrence Co in 1816: David, Jesse, John, John (second listing), Johnson. Note that they were NOT there in the 1815 tax list. Believe they lived in the part of Lawrence which became Randolph Co, AR.
  5. From White Co, TN court records (WPA transacription at TN State Archives) - 16 Nov 1809 - Johnston Wamick was a juror
  6. From Grainger Co, TN court records 1796 - 1802 (WPA transacription at TN State Archives) - several mentions of Jacob and David Womack. In one court record, Jacob referred to as Major Jacob Womack. In another court record, Jacob and David listed together as part of a jury to lay off a road.
  7. The James Wamick in Sevier Co, TN in 1799 may have been a Warnick, due to the presence of a Jas Warnick.
  8. Henry Warmath in Bedford Co, TN in 1812 was indeed a Warmath (Warmoth, Warmouth). He was listed in the 1820 Census of Bedford as Henry Wammack, but this was an enumerator mistake. Two Bedford deeds (in 1819 and 1829) confirm Henry was a Warmath.
  9. Marion Co, TN was not formed until 1817. It was formed from Indian lands east of Franklin Co, TN. From the history of the Thomas Womack and Louvisa Rice family, we know they settled in Marion Co, TN. In the 1812 tax list of Franklin Co, TN, Abraham and James Womack were the children of Thomas and Louvisa, and Josiah was their grandson (son of Lucinda Womack and William Womack). Unknown who Hyram Womack was.
  10. The Frederick Warnuck in Greene Co, TN in 1812 was not a Womack. See Descendants of Frederick Christian Warnack died 1821 Knox TN. I include him because his name is close to Womack, and he had land grants in Greene Co, TN and Knox Co, TN - on those grants, his name has been misintepreted as Warmack.

Womacks in Tennessee Land Grants

From photopcopies made from book Tennessee Land Grants at the TN State Archives. I probably made a few typos. Note that when the Mountain District was created, many grants that had been recorded in other districts were re-recorded in Mountain District. See Tennessee’s Surveyors’ Districts for a map and history of the districts.
