Fraudulent Genealogy - Henry Womack of Accomack County, Virginia
See lineage below.
The source of this fraudulent lineage is unknown, but it appears to have been in the LDS Family History Library International Genealogical Index (IGI) for many years; the lineage below was assembled from IGI entries.
Womack researches have doubted this lineage for years.
The sources cited (see lineage below) are fake books, which cannot be found at the Library of Congress website, the LDS Family History Library or WorldCat.
In 2001, Womack research David Dunn, tried to find any trace of the Henry Womack family.
David Dunn's message on Womack Genealogy Network from 15 Dec 2001:
Hello Roger and everybody. Yes, as Roger says, the 17th century dates are just too perfect for the alleged "Henry of Accomack" line. And after a two week absence for some pro bono work, I have now finished the review of every record available from LDS for Accomack and Northampton Counties for the relevant period. 27 rolls of film. DAR and LOC have nothing extra. Northampton as well as Accomack because Accomack was for part of the time part of Northampton; they are the two counties of the VA part of the Delmarva peninsula. Result: Not one reference to a Womack or any conceivable variant of the name. Either these people lived there for more than one generation without owning land, without dying or somehow appearing in their or anyone else's probate records, without being in court for any reason, or without paying taxes - they weren't there. As always, happy to be proved wrong by evidence - in this case, wish somebody could.
Furthermore, no Womack appears in the 1704 Quit Rents of Accomack, which lists all land owners, nor do any of these Womacks appear in VA Land Patents. Also, the 1704 list for Accomack does not have the surnames of the families these Womack supposedly married into - Lansing, Lerner, Scranton, Creighton, etc.
This genealogy is too perfect, with complete dates for almost everyone born in the 1600s and 1700s, and all maiden names of wives known. It also has these Womacks moving into Augusta Co, VA long before that county was formed, and before there were white settlers there.
The only known Womack family in Virginia was the one that started in Henrico County (the part which became Chesterfield Co in 1749) in the 1670s and spread from there to counties of Prince George, Goochland, Isle of Wight, Amelia, Prince Edward, Lunenburg, Halifax, etc.
Furthermore, yearly tax lists of all VA counties started circa 1782, and are complete for most counties from 1787 on, and the only Womacks that appear are the descendants of the Henrico family.
Personally, I (Robert E Burke) have focused on Womack research for about 15 years and looked at several hundred Virginia genealogy books, including for counties where I am pretty sure my Womacks never were, because sometimes you find a surprise. I always look at the index for Womack. I have never seen any of these Accomack Womacks ever.
The whole point of the Henry Womack of Accomack genealogy appears to be to explain some members of the Weaver family who were in Pendleton Co, 96 District, SC in the late 1700s, and who were supposedly brothers, allegedly sons of Thomas Weaver and Eleanor Womack. At least some of the Weavers in this lineage were real people with historical records. All the Womacks are fake.
Again, this is a fake genealogy, see https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Fraudulent_Genealogies
