Category: Womack Genealogy Fabrications
Categories: Frauds and Fabrications
A number of Internet genealogy sites document the family history of Henry Womack of Accomack County, Virginia, and his descendants. This man and his family members have been determined to be nonexistent -- fabrications created by a person or persons as yet unidentified.
The following published sources are cited in support of this family's genealogy; no evidence has been found for the existence of these publications:
- The Womack & Allied Families by Thomas pub. 1932, p. 154
- Early Settlers of Mass. by Stull pp19-33
- Vital Records of Massachusetts by Stiles Vol 3 through 9
Robert Burke suggests that the fabrication appears to be intended to "explain some members of the Weaver family who were in Pendleton Co, 96 District, South Carolina in the late 1700s, and who were supposedly brothers, allegedly sons of Thomas Weaver and Eleanor Womack."
This category is a location to identify the profiles of people whose biographies and family histories have been affected (or in some cases may have been affected) by the Womack genealogical fabrications. "Affected" is the operative word -- listing in this category does NOT mean that the profile itself is fraudulent; hopefully it is listed because the fabrication has been identified and corrected.
