Jesse Womack (Click to enlarge):

     Our main source of information on my gggrandfather Jesse Womack was a couple of letters written by my mother's aunt Ida Jones in about 1949. My mother turned this information into a little family tree, which was later expanded upon by my cousin, Patti Graul. We knew that Jesse Womack had lived in Winnfield, Winn Parish Louisiana in 1850 and 1860, but we did not know exactly where he had come from. On the other end of the country Miles Womack knew where Jesse had come from, and was trying to figure out where he had disappeared to. We recently had a happy meeting of the minds due to the resources of The Womack Genealogy Network, (WGN) where I had placed an inquiry on the bulletin board. The resulting melding of information is contained in the recently published book (1998) "Little River Pioneers" by Miles Womack, et al. Please e-mail Miles Womack if you are interested in ordering a copy. By the way, one interesting fact to be learned at WGN is that Roy Rogers' mother was a Womack (our only claim to fame?).

   Most of the information presented here was taken from the report "Some Descendants of William Womack and Mary Jane Allen" by Keith Elliott. The information on Zenith Susan Womack and the Thorp family was contributed by James Cooper.
