Wow. I have some info that should be of great interest to you...
Burrell is my paternal GGgrandfather. I have some information on him (and Kissiah) and would like to share it with you in exchange for more info on William-- anything you might have that might be of interest.
Here's a sampling...
Burrell was born between 1816 and 1820 (unknown location, but probably, VA, NC or TN). He first married an Ava Cook on 9 May 1840 in Gibson County, TN.
Burrell and Ava were the parents of a William W. Womack who was born about 1845 (site unknown). William is listed in several Census and military records. He joined the Union Army in Dardanelle, AR on 10 Sept 1863. Unfortunately, he died in July 1864 of "bilous fever" at Lewisburg Union Hospital, in Yell County, AR.
William had 5 brothers and sisters from Burrell and Ava-- Parthenia, Mary Jane, Roland, Margaret, & Robert (my GgrandFather).
Ava died between 1855 and 1859. Burrell re-married Kissiah (Sloan) Jones on or before 1860, and they had two children-- Sydia (b. 1860) and David (b.1863).
Burrell died sometime between 1863 and 1869 and his burial site is unknown, but believed to be the Patilla Hill Cemetery near Centerville, AR.
Kissiah is buried in the Dacus Cemetery near Mount George, in Yell County, AR. I've been to her gravesite and her tombstone reflects she was born 7 May 1824 and died 28 April 1891. It also shows she was the wife of B.H. Womack. Next to her lies her son (from her first marriage) Andrew Jones.
I can dig up some more on this William W. Womack, but I fear you might be looking for a different one, since this one died at age 19 or so, during the Civil War. I haven't seen any records to reflect he was ever married.
Please tell me where you got your info on Burrell and Kissiah. I'm looking for some more leads on them. I'm desperately trying to ascertain who Burrell's father was and where he might have lived. I'm of the belief he may also be called William, and that he lived in TN for awhile during the early 1800's.
Look forward to hearing from y'all.
