Bartlett Yancey Womack

Notes:

Mr. B. Yancey Womack died at his home near this place last Wednesday morning after a painful illness of about five months, leaving a devoted mother Mrs. A. E. Y. Womack, and brother Mr. T. P. Womack and sisters Mrs. L. M. Neal and Mrs. J. W. Wiggins Jr. and numerous other relations to mourn his loss. He was a loving and affectionate son and brother and loyal friend. His mother said he was the best of sons and had never given her a saucy word since he was a very little boy. That he had many true friends is shown by a large crowd with tear stained eyes at the funeral and burial. He bore with patience all his afflictions and died trusting in his God. Death was a great relief to him. May the loving healing hand of God be placed upon all of the family and comfort them in the time of sorrow. He was 36 years old at his death. He was buried at the family burying ground at home. Rev. N. B. Campbell conducted the funeral and burial services. His remarks were sweet and comforting.

A biography of Bartlett Yancey of Caswell County, North Carolina, found in the James Sprunt Historical Publications series, reads as follows:

"Bartlett Yancey, on his paternal side, was of Welsh extraction. An early ancestor was an Episcopal minister, ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Three of his sons, Louis, Henry, and Richard emigrated from England to America, but when is not known to the family. Henry and Richard settled in Virginia and became citizens of usefulness and influence. Louis Yancey located in Granville County, NC and his son Bartlett Yancey Sr moved to Caswell . . . "

Although, often quoted the above statements have been proven to be incorrect. Bartlett Yancey Sr (Father of the more famous Bartlett Yancey Jr.) was the son of James Yancey of Granville County, Virginia - as proven by the will of James Yancey (Copy can be seen on Yancey Web Page).The Yancey who was the Episcopal Minister - was one Rev. Robert Yancey -who indeed did get ordained by the Bishop of Canterbury - and settled in Louisa County Virginia - This Rev. Robert Yancey - was a nephew of James Yancey of Granville - and the will of Rev. Robert Yancey (also found on the Web Page) shows that he did not have sons Louis, Henry & Richard.
