There's not a whole lot on the Womble's. Ol' Simon is pretty elusive and the story of him being Indian is completely unsubstantiated. He is most likely a son of Benjamin Womble of NC, but so far this unproven. The line seems to originate with a common ancestor Thomas Wombwell (the immigrant) in Isle of Wight County, VA, in the 1600's. Simon appears in the 1830 and 1840 Gallatin Co census. I'm speculating some that we may be dealing with 2 Simon Womble's. There is a marriage in 1840 for a Simon Womble to a Sally Shrum in Gallatin Co. She later appears in MO (not proven to be same one) with some Womble children in her household. I believe Rowena Ingram had the marriage for Simon in Maury Co, TN. I've had the Maury Co. marriages searched and found no marriage for him there. Simon is in the 1790 Pitt Co, NC census and appears married with 1 child. The Duncan's are a rather infamous line aren't they? <g> Have your seen the coroner's inquest for Amos? Our line descends from Thomas and Delilah's daughter Margaret who married George Harner.
