State aforesaid, personally appeared 2 Lucy Womack aged 74 years, a resident of 3
[in the - crossed out] County of Monroe [Georgia - crossed out] and State of Georgia; who being duly sworn according to law, declares
that she is the widow of Abraham Womack deceased, who was a 5 Soldier
[some lines crossed out]

That her husband entered the service at 10 [squiggly line] about the [squiggly line] day of [squiggly line]
A.D. 17- [a printed 8 was changed to a handwritten 7 in this date]; for the term of [squiggly line] and continued in actual service in said War, for the term of [squiggly line]
and was honorably discharged at 11 [squiggly line] on the [blank space] day [of -crossed out]
A.D. 17 [again, printed 8 was changed to handwritten 7] : as will more particularly appear by
reference to her claim now pending in the Pension
Office for the benefits of the 2d section of the Act of 
Congress approved the 3d of February 1853.

She further states that she was married to the said Abraham Womack in the
State of Georgia : on the Eighth day of May A.D. 1825 [?] by one as well as recollected
Stephen Renfroe a Justice of the Peace and that her name before her said marriage was Lucy
Moody ; that her husband died in Monoe [sic] County Geo on the tenth day of April
A.D. 1834 as well as she recollects and that she is still his widow.
And she further states that there is a public record of her marriage- and that there is a private record of her marriage
as will appear by her claim for a pension as aforesaid
That she cannot file herewith his Certificate of discharge for the reason that 12 she has none in her possession
In addition to the above described actual service she claims for [squiggly line] miles from [squiggly line] at which he was
enlisted, to [squiggly lie] where he was mustered into service, and for [squiggly line] miles, from [squiggly line]
at which he was discharged, to [squiggly line] the said place of his enrolment. [sic]

She makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the [squiggly line] Bounty Land to which she may be entitled on account
of said service, and mileage under the Act passed 3d March 1855,
She also declares that she has not received a Warrant for Bounty Land, under this or any other Act of Congress, nor made any other application
therefor 1 [second digit is faint]
[three flourishes]

She hereby appoints C. W. BENNETT, of Washington, D.C. her true and lawful Attorney, with power of substitution, to prosecute this her claim for
land, to receive the Certificate or Warrant when issued, and to do all other acts necessary and proper in the premises.

Abraham Womack
W. 6602

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the Revolutionary War records of Thomas Boyles and William Jackson
of Virginia, and Abraham and William Womack of North Carolina.

Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War and War
of 1812 data and the limited trained clerical force available for
furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full
with each request pertaining to soldiers of those wars. The record
of Abraham Womack is furnished herein as found in pension claim,
W. 6602, based upon his service in that[sic] Revolutionary War.

Abraham Womack, name shown also as Wommack, was a citizen
of Chatham County, North Carolina, both before and during the period 
of the Revolutionary War. The date and place of his birth and names
of his parents are not shown.

He enlisted and served three or more tours as private in
the North Carolina troops and was in the battle of Brier Creek, in
which he received a severe wound over his left eye. No definite
dates of his enlistments and names of his officers are shown. It
was stated that during the Revolutionary War, Abraham Womack (Wommack )
"manifested a geart[sic] firmness and activity in the defence of his
country."

The soldier moved January 1, 1786 from Chatham County, North Carolina, to Hancock County, Georgia, from there to Jones County,
Georgia, and sometime after 1825, to Monroe County, Georgia.

He married May 8, 1825, in Jones County, Georgia, Lucy Moody,
who was then aged about forty-four years. The names of her parents
Page 14

are not shown, nor date of her birth given.

Abraham Womack (Wommack) died April 10, 1934 in Monroe
County, Georgia. It was stated that he was then aged about ninety years

Lucy Womack, the soldier's widow, was allowed the pension
which was the her husband at the time of his death on account of
his service in the Revolutionary War on her application executed
June 1, 1855. She resided then in Monroe County, George. She
stated that she had never had any children.

Sir
I am in receipt of yours of the 13th
Just. asking explanation of my certificate of
the evidence of Abram Womacks service in the
Revolution,
1st All the payments in said certificate
were made to Abraham Womack. There is one
on record to. A. Womack which I did not
give, as well as I recollect
2nd. The service was not rendered with
any regard to the Districts, which were only
Auditors Districts, and respected the auditing
the accounts only. We act upon the presumption
^that the the same individuals claims might
have been allowed in different districts, as
the soldier happened to be at different lands
but that it is more probable they were allowed
in the District in which he lived
3rd  Whether the payments dated 1770
could have been to the said Womack who had
removed to Georgia in 1786, I am [illegible]
proposed [illegible]. It was some time before
Page 17

these claims were all settled, Womack
may have left his in the care of an agent
Again these two Indents dated 1790 specify
that they were given Jany 1 1790 in exchange
for older one presented at the Treasury
at Hillsboro, according to an act of
Assembly requiring said reissue to
regulate the payment of interest on
these bills of credit.  It is [illegible]
then that the claims were allowed at
some date previous, and that 1790
is the date of the reissue,
I have thus mentioned the facts
which appear, and leave you
to draw your own conclusions.

Sir
the foregoing is a
Certificate of the served of Abram Womack
of the Revolution. The Commissioner of Pensions
says 'It does not appear that the perponents
certified to by the Comptroller were all
paid to a man of Hillsboro; nor does
it appears that but one of the payments
was in Specie.
My certificates seldom profess
to show where a man lived, and by
no means do I expect to say that the said
Womack was of Hillsboro, but that the
pay stub were activated at the
Auditors office at Hillsboro
The probability is that Womack lived some
where in that District as they payments 
were all allowed there, but in
and probably at, though the Book does
not specify, the payments were all in Specie.

Do ^all the Indents appear to have been given to Abraham Womack or are some [crossed out - of] or any of them to

a man might be paid in another District then

Abraham Womack
W. 6602

Dear Madam:
The data given herein were found in pension claim, W. 6602,
based upon service of Abraham Womack in the Revolutionary War.

Abraham Womack, name shown also Wommack, was a citizen of
Chatham County, North Carolina, both before and during the period of
the Revolutionary War. The date and place of his birth and the names
of his parents were not given.

He enlisted and served three or more tours as private in
the North Carolina troops and was in the battle of Brier Creek, in
which he received a severe wound over his left eye. No definite dates
of his enlistments and names of his officers are shown. It was stated
that during the Revolutionary War, Abraham Womack (Wommack) "manifested
a great firmness and activity in the defence of his country."

The soldier moved January 1, 1786 from Chatham County, North 
Carolina, to Hancock County, Georgia, from there to Jones County,
Georgia, and sometime after 1825, to Monroe County, Georgia.

He married May 8, 1825, in Jones County, Georgia, Lucy Moody,
who was then aged about forty-four years; the names of her parents
and the date and place of her birth were not given.

Abraham Womack ( Womack ) died April 10, 1834 in Monroe County,
Georgia. It was stated that he was then aged about ninety years.

Lucy Womack, the soldier's widow, was allowed the pension
which was due her husband at the time of his death on account of his
service in the Revolutionary War on her application executed June 1, 1856.

Lucy Womack resided in 1855, in Monroe County, Georgia.  She stated
that she had never had any children.

Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.

Mrs. Ben F. Ray

Birmingham, Alabama

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to
soldiers of the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this
office are obtained from claims made to the United States
for pension and bounty land based upon military
service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show
such a claim on file on account of the services of
any soldier with the surname Alford of Georgia, or
of any soldier with the surname Kinchen, or of Colonel
Edward D. Mitchell, all spellings of the names
searched.

This office has no records of services rendered
in the colonies prior to the Revolutionary War.

The record of Abraham Womack is furnished you
herewith as found in the claim based upon service in
the Revolutionary War.

Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
