In search of John Womack - Marshall, Texas #2 Clue

So, in the mean time I searched and searched some more for my Great, Great Grandfather John Womack. Unfortunately, to find this 1920 Census I had to tweak the 'search' just a little. On this 1920 Census, I learned a few more things:

Reference back to this post:

John Womack - Post, update

1920 Census, found.

The 1900 Census showed him as being b 1835 (65 years of age), now it shows him being b 1850
(7- years of age), which is a fifteen year difference. The 1900 Census also showed him and Nellie Montague being married for twenty-nine years, which would have made him marry at the age of 6. We all now this is a piece of the puzzle not fitting.

Now they live on Frog Town Street, still renting their home (dwelling as they called it)

Same b place, Mississippi

Father b place the same, Mississippi

Mother b place changed from Mississippi to North Carolina

The only child living in the home is Octavia (Womack) Roland, married to John H. Roland.

Now a laborer, brick mason

Eliza 'Liza' (b 1883), his daughter according to the 1900 Census is married to Sol Walter is listed on this 1920 Census.

One more step closer to finding my Womack/Payne/Lewis roots.

I emailed the Marshall, Texas Public Library at info@easttexaskin.com.

About Me

Hello Family Tree Researcher, my name is Jacqueline Joyce Thomas (born to Gene E. Thomas and Brendel Joyce Lewis) of Texas in '67 . I began doing my family tree search when my son (C. Hicks) was born. He was unfortunately born with Nephrogenic Insipidus Diabetes. When he was two weeks old I could not get him to take his formula, the only thing he would drink was water. We took him to the local emergency room, where the hospital staff spent hours doing test after test and the end result were "we are still uncertain of what is wrong with your son". My heart fell to pieces. The next few days, still nothing. Finally on the forty-fifth day of his prolonged stay , they decided to care flight him to a Children's Hospital where it still took nineteen days for the final results and even then they were not sure. The doctor came into the room with his long white doctor's coat and his glasses hanging from his nose with the final thought (not answer). Ms. Hicks (at the time), "could you have a seat?" My thought was, okay then comes "is you son mixed with Caucasian?" My reply with anger and confusion in my heart was, mixed, with who?...not what but who! And not that I was cared or anything, I have mixed nieces and nephews. Then he went on to explain to me that "that type of diabetes was uncommon, and that it only occurred in every three thousand children" annnnndddd'ah-Rah...here is the killer..."that it only occurred in Caucasian males." Gathering my thoughts and physical seemed to be out of the question. It was not until he turned four years old that I begin getting more and more curious. So next to my son being born with a rare type of diabetes that only (according the doctor) in Caucasian males and me being adopted, I became one curious Sista'. The search began.
