Dear Rosalee: Here is what I have on Martha Ann Byars and Abner Womack (Drucilla Jane did marry a Womack, but his name was Jonas Womack).Abner Womack, Eb.177021 emigrated to Tennessee when about 40 years of age, and settled in the north part of Warren County, Tennessee, near Collins River, where now stands a church and school house known as Cross Roads.
During the war betten the states his family bible was lost, or destroyed, so that the exact dates sof his birth and death are not known, but by computation he was born about 1750, and died about 1855, at his home above described. He came to Tennessee in 1791.
He was one of God's Noblemen, a member of the Old Baptist Church, a highly respected citizen and a good farmer. He married Martha Ann Byars, who was born in Spartanburg County, SC and to them were born twenty two children, fourteen of whom lived into mature manhood and womanhood, and everyone good and upright citizens. One of their sons was Abner Clemmons Womack who was born 2-8-1799 in Rutheford county NC and emigrated with his father to Tennessee when a small boy. As such he was an active helper in felling the trees and clearing the lands heretofore mentioned at Cross Roads, where he grew to manhood under the eyes of a careful and industrious father and a loving and devoted Mother. He married Aseneth Hand, daughter of Samuel and Mary Hand, who was born 5-27-1804, Rutherford Co. NC., at the home of her parents, now known as the Nathan Byars Farm, five miles due north of McMinnville, Tennessee. To them were born eleven children, six sons and five daughters; ten of whom grew to maturity, the fourth died in early infancy.
