There was another Womack family in Hancock Co., GA in the same time period as Abraham Womack's family - that of Abraham and Judith Minter Womack. These two families interacted, as shown in various records, however, they were only distantly related. Given the location and similar names, it is occasionally difficult to distinguish between various members of the families.
