      ABRAHAM WOMACK. (1704?-d. aft 1747 VA) He was of colonial  Goochland Co. and was a brother to William Womack of the same county.  The name is from a probable ancestor who was in Virginia as early as 1679 as indicated by this court record of Henrico Co.:

   "Att a Court holden att Varina for the County of Henrico the second day of June Anno Dom 1679," the two men were among "ye several fortye Tythables ordered by this Wor'll [worshipfull?] Court to fitt out men horse armes &c. according to act, viz..."  Mr. Ben Hatcher was ordered to give notice to the list which contained the name of the Abrah Womecke, who had two tithables.
