 NOT WOMACK! Robert Warnock married Rachel Teague on 14 Mar 1852 in Benton (Calhoun) Co, AL, NOT Robert Womack. Robert Warnock was the son of Dobson Warnock and Elizabeth Sarah Amberson (1850 Census of Benton Co, AL, p.419). This family's surname sometimes appears as Warnick, but never as Womack. This family never left Calhoun Co, AL, and Robert and/or his widow Rachel were in every available census from 1860 through 1910: 1860 (Robert and Rachel Warnick, p.673), 1870 (R N and Rachel Warnic, p.670), 1880 (Robert N and Rachael Warnock, p.704A), 1900 (Robt N and Rachel Warnock, p.6A), 1910 (Rachel Warnock, p.4b). Since Robert was a Warnick/Warnock, he was most definitely not the son of Levi Berry Womack.

Prenuptial Contracts Nothing New
Polk County Enterprise - April 2005

An interesting old document filed in courthouse records on April 4, 1846 reveals that prenuptial contracts are nothing new.

It was filed in Macon County, Alabama shortly before a marriage was to be celebrated between John M. Marr and Catharine A. Womack, widow of W.M.G. Womack. Catharine wanted to be certain that she would continue to have a dependable means of support. She already had a right to one half of everything which she and her late husband had as community property and wanted to make sure it stayed that way after her marriage. So, the contract assigned the community property to her own personal ownership and also assigned to her some of her new husband's property, namely a 14-year-old slave named Henderson and 160 acres in exchange for her becoming John Marr's bride.

John Marr, in the prenuptial contract, did hand over all of the 160 acres and any right to obtain her property. Edwin B. Adams was appointed to act as trustee of the properties to assure that it be used for the support of Catharine and any children she might have by her intended, John Marr. The property in the trust would not ever be used to pay any of John's debts. However, John would have exclusive control and management of the property and if he should die before there were children, control would revert to Catharine.

If there were children born to the union, control would be Catharine's as long as she would live, but upon her death, property would be divided equally among the children.

The contract gave the trustee permission to sell property from time to time and to make investments, but only with written approval of both Catharine and John Marr.

Marr died in Polk County in 1859, leaving his widow Catharine and a daughter Sophronia as his only heirs. That same year, Catharine married for a third time to J. Foster Poe and, in 1860, Poe and Catharine were named administrators of the estate of her late husband, John Marr. Their bond before the probate court of Polk County was for $45,000.

Sophronia J. Marr did not receive her distributive share of the estate, which resulted in numerous legal battles for many years.
