Jay' s great-grandfather , who <( made the long trek from Virg inia to Texas in 1860, w ith his w i fe a nd seven*children. He is buried in a l onely family cemetery "in Fain's pas ture, " according to a l ocal resident. This is the B l a nton Family Cemetery, n ear Whitewright, Texas, but in Fannin Coun ty. The e l dest son of Achilles Womack married Maggie B l a nton , and evidentl y Achilles was living with this young family at the time of his death. His g rav e is inside a very o ld iron fence, n ear the entrance to the Cemetery, has a Masonic emblem on the stone, and the following ins er iption:

A . WOMACK Dec. 25, 1807 Nov. 30, 1897

Sle ep on Twilight, work is done, Jesus has come and borne thee home.

Family members have stated that a "wagon train of Wornacks" came to Texas about the same time, a nd Jay's Dad (Arthur Virgil Womack) told us an Uncle came a long, but we have not verified the names of those w ho came to Texas in 186 0, along with Achilles and family . It is very probable that John Daniel Womack (from Pittsyl vania County, Virginia) was o ne of those who came at that time, s ince he lived in Lamar county near the same time period. John Daniel Womack was a third cous in ..of Achilles, as they were both grandsons of William Womack (1710 _ 1792) There were a lso .families by the name of Gish, Pearcey and Danie l in Lamar County, Texas circa 1860-1870, and it is possible these families were all related.

Our first record of Achilles Womack in· v·ir g 1n1· . a is· his marriage bond on 4 January 1830, to Polly Bowyer.

"Know all men by these presents that we, Achilles Womack ~ Adam Bowyer are held and firmly bound unto William B. Giles , Esqr. Governor or Chief Magistrate of the cornrn.onwealth. of Virginia in th e Sum of One Hundred and fifty dollars to whi c~ payment well and truly to be made to the said Governor or hi~ successors in Office for the us e of the Commonwealth - We bind ourselves and each of us owe &: each of our heirs Exe cutors a nd administrators jointly and severally firmly by these presents

I Sealed w ith our Seals and dated this 4th day of January 1830. The ) Condition of the above obligation is such, that whereas a marriage J is shortly intended to be h ad and solemnized between the above bound Achilles Womack and Polly Bowyer , now if there shall be no l awful c a us e to obstruct the said marriage, the above obligation ' to be void, otherwise to remai n in full force and virtue. " Signed by Achille s Womack and Adam Boyer.

Achilles i s mentioned in the will of his father, Daniel Womack, probated in Bedford County, V irg inia in March of 1 830. This will mentions the wife, N a ncy, and twelve childre n (all n a mes given). Evidently final settlement of \ Daniel' s estate did not take place until after the death of Nancy • .• circa 1850. By that t ime it appears that only eight children were still living as r the estate was div ided into nine parts • •• and one of those parts w as to the h e irs of a deceased d a ug hter, Julia Benson Womack Burson.

On the 1 8 30 Census of Bedford County, Virginia the name Achilles W. Womack app ears (age between 20 - 30). This is the only instance I have r ever seen his name with a middle initia l. His w ife at that census year was also b etween the age of 20 and 30. We have never found any further record of Polly Bowyer Womack, and assume she died. J ay remembers his Grand­ fathe r stating that his father was marr ied twice • .• "but there warn't no childre n by the first union."

On 4 January 1840, in Roanoke County, Vi rginia, Achilles Womack and Anna Carney were m arried ••• ten years to the day from the date of the marriage bond betwee n Achille s and Polly! This bond was unrecorded in Roanoke County records in 1973 when we v isited the courthouse. Kent Womack found the bond in the drawers of " loose" bonds i n the courthouse, and I gave , it to a clerk in the office a nd ask e d that she index it for their records (after securing a photocopy). I Anna Carney was the daughter of C harles Carney and Susannah (Gish) Carney. The Womac k family remembers that Charles Carney was not happy about the marriage, and since Achilles was 16 years o lder than Anna, it is easy to under­ stand his con cern. C harles Carney' s w ill was dated 5 July 1853 (with a codicil dated 15 July 1853, and probate d in August, 1853 - Roanoke County, Virginia) & stated:

"I h ave given to my daughter Anna Womack her part that may be coming to h e r, & to all my c hildren except Anna Womack who have receive d anything from me the same must be consi dered as apart of what they are to receive makeing all e qual."

On the 1840 cen sus of Roan oke County, Virginia, 11 Achilles Wamack" was living in the househ o ld enumerated i mmediately following Charles Carney. The one female in Achilles ' household was between 15 - 20 years of age, which would be the right age bracket for Anna. These families were also listed in adjacent households i n the 1850 census of Roanoke County (See Census Worksheet). 10 YIRGINIA APPA LACHIA N NOTES

Note from Mrs. Jay Womack (Helen Ring Womack) of 3461 Manana Driv e, Dallas, Texas 75220.

My husband's father owns an original copy of the w ill of Isaac Booth. I ~ave ne:rer known if there was a family relationship or whether this will was in the Womack's possession because of the fact that Achilles Womack was a justice of the peace in Montgomery County, Virginia, and thus was chosen as administrator de bonis non, estate of Isaac Booth.

TREASURE UP THE MEMORY By James Frederick O' Nan *

"Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors do not deserve to be remembered by posterity." Edmund Burke

The family O'Nan had its beginning in France. The earliest extant record of the name in this country is contained in a list of French (Huguenots) arriving in King William's Town, Virginia, aboard the Peter and Anthony out of London, England in 1700. From the Virginia Historical Society Collections, Vol. 5, New Series, pages 24 and 27, "is set down the name of JEAN ONAN, his wife and one child."

In Peyton Neal Clarke's book Old King William Homes and Families, there is a biography of one John Onan. The author noted that THIS John Onan "no doubt descended from the French refugee Jean Onan." These Onans moved into Woodford and Union County, Kentucky, where the descendants are now living and spelling the name O'Nan.

Many of the O'Nans are predominantly Roman Catholic. Listed in Vol . II of The American Catholic Historical Society is the oldest Catholic Church register of the original thirteen English Colonies. Under "Baptisms for the year 1743", one finds this entry:

"Onan, Mary of Denis and Rebecca Onan, baptized December 28th in parent's house; sponsor, Ann Blainy."

One Dennie Onan signed in 1776 the Dissenter's Petition (Virginia Historical Magazine - Virginia Legislative Papers PP· 265- 267) • "Whatever his religious affiliation, every member of the fa~ily can take pride in the fact that one of his ancestors struck a blow for religious freedom."

Denis Onan, born about 1720, married about 1740. He was living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1743, where his daughter Mary was born. There were three sons, Dennis b. 1748, William b. l753, and James b . 1755 . (There may have been a daughter, Rebecca, named for her mother, b. 1750). The family moved back to Virginia and were well established by the year 1776, for that was the year Deni s Onan, at the age of 55_56 signed the Dissenter' s Petition. The sons. Dennis, Will iam a nd J ames d th~ir descendants are chronicled in this book. an

Dennis O:'nan settled permanently in Shel by County, Kentucky· :he name of his wife is unknown. They were the parents of at least one child, John, born in Virginia in 1773 .

William O'nan married Mary Ann Carrico b 1757 daughter of Abel and Elizabeth Sinu:is Carrico. Mary Ann was born ln Cha~les county, Maryland ~nd later moved with her parents to Fairfax Cou t v·rginia· Mary Ann Carrico O'Nan's brothers and sisters were William, ~b~i, ~r., Nancy, Simeon, Sally, JJ ;YIRC IN /A APPALACH IAN NOTES.

Will_iam and Mary Ann Carrico O'Nan are buried in Henry County, Kentucky in unmarked graves. James O' Nan married Elizabeth Lincoln of Virginia . Their son John was born in 1790 in Virginia, and emigrated with his parents at an early age to Kentucky; married in Shelby C?unty, ~entucky, ~ugust 2, 1813 Rebecca Carrico, the daughter of Basil Carrico, a native of Maryland and a recognized Revolutionary War Patriot . Basil was the son of Peter Carrico and Margaret Gates . One allied family of the O' Nans was the Robert Looney, Sr., family, who settled in Botetourt County about 1742, southwest of the James River and west of the Blue Ridge at the mouth of a creek near Buchanan, Virginia, now called Looney ' s Mill Creek. The book has genealogical notes on the following allied families :

Bowles, Carrico, Cook, Hanley, Lincoln, Looney (Luna), Martin, Mellody , Merryman, Molohon, Monohan , Potts, Robinett and others .

It is we ll indexed, documented, and has 149 pages . The book represents fifteen ( 15) years of research by the author. A copy of the book has been given to The Southwestern Virginia Genealogical Society and placed in the Virginia Room of the Roanoke City Public Library .

That could also go on the exchange list: obtaining copies o f marriage bonds, deeds, etc, from the court house for people. If you are interested send in. your name , address , etc, and we lewill are trynot the exchange research column.

Just a few lines for some 'thoughts' and items of interest (at least to me) . First, some people misread the letter on page 158, Nov 1979, and thought that I was correcting Dr. Chitwood -- he was correcting me. On p 119, Aug 1979, I printed some diseases and what they are called today - or what I thought they would be -- Dr. Chitwood wrote and correct my info. I'll take his word over mine any time.
