Researching my ancestors Drucilla GIBBS and William Henry MOORE, who married in Pope Cty. in 1876. Their first child, James A., was listed in the 1880 census with them.

12 Jan 1998

Martha Womack

Shepard Lafayette WOMACK, (our family ancestor) was born 9 Jan 1848 in Hardin County, IL and died 30 jan 1945 in Karnak, Pulaski County, IL. In the 1850 Hardin Co census Shepard is listed as being 4 yrs old, and living with G.W. WOMACK age 30 and Nancy WOMACK age 34 (both were reporte being born in Tennessee). In the 1860 Pope County, IL census Shepard is listed as being 13 yrs old, and living with Green B. WOMACK age 29, Sarah H. WOMACK age 23, Wm. H. WOMACK age 11/12, and Geo. W. WOMACK age 40. Recently some information about James WOMACK was shared with me, and I am hoping someone can help me tie these two families together. James WOMACK was born 1775 in Rutherford Co, NC and died abt. 1860 in Pope Co, IL. James married Margaret BOWERS, she was born abt. 1784 in Rutherford Co, NC, and also died 1870 in Pope Co, IL. They had 10 children: Harriet, Mioranni, Arsey, Sarilda, Alonzo, Shepard, George W. (b. abt. 1829), John, Green (b. abt. 1833, and Walter. If I can prove that the Geo. W. WOMACK and Green B. WOMACK from Illinois in 1860 were the same George W. and Green who were James' sons, then I will be able to connect our family ancestry back. Thanks for any help!!
