The courts divided the land of William Womack and gave l/3 to the widow (her dower) and 2/3 to Abraham Womack the brother.  At the time, this land was undivided.  Over the years they must have argued as to where the l/3 stopped and the 2/3's began, thus they took the matter to court (Lynn Collis post to Womack GenForum 17 Aug 2000)

In April of 1698, William Faber age 27 years of age gave a deposition stating that in the year 1692 he was employed by Mr. John Worsham, Jr. Thomas Stratton, and Mr. Abram Womack to clear one acre of land on a class called Coldwater Run in Henrico Co., being land taken up by Mr. John Worsham, Jr. Thomas Stratton, and Mr. Abram Womack.  (Henrico Co., VA Wills & Deeds 1697-1704, p 77)  This appears to be  the land described in the patent of Oct 1691.
On 15 Aug 1699 Mr. John Worsham & Mr. Abraham Womack, Sr. deeded to Edward Stratton, son of Edward Stratton, dec'd all of their right in l/3 of 879 acres.  The land located on the north side of Swift Creek, called "Coldwater Run" for which they were granted a patent on 20 Oct 1691. (Henrico Co., VA Deeds Bk 5, p 147) In the notes of Dorothy Tuttle: Edward Straton, Sr. died in Sep 1698 and son Edward Stratton, Jr. inherited all his father's land.  Because there was no relinquishment of dower with this deed for the wives of John Worsham and Abraham Womack, it would indicate that both wives were deceased)
When John Worsham purchased 200 acres of land on soth side James River from John Dawson, Abraham Womack was a witness.  (Henrico Co. Wills 1697-1704, p 328)
The Inventory of Thomas Ligon was appraised 7 May 1705 by Abra. Womack, Rob. Hancock, Arth. Mosely and William Womack.  (Neglected to cite a source)
Deed #67 pg 134 Abraham Womack, Jr., for love and affection, to my son, Thomas Womack, all my land on Coldwater Run and Swift Creek, 400 acres.  Witnesses: William Kennon, Arthur Mosely. Signed: Abraham Womack Recorded 1 Feb 17089...Film #1697555 Henrico Co., Virginia Deed (Submitted to WGN Message Page by Bob Erwin thatbebob@aol.com 25 Sep 2000)  Bob Erwin also wrote:  "Now Thomas Womack who married Mary Farley is always identified as the son of Abraham, Sr. who left his will in 1733.  It makes much more sense to me, considering the ages of Thomas's children, that he would have been born ca 1687, and coming of age when this deed was executed.  According to the age of her father, John Farley, Jr., Mary Farley could not have been born before 1690.  Also that the Abraham of the 1733 will was actually Jr."
On 1 Apr 1708 Edward Stratton, Jr. sold 193 acres back to Worsham and Womack and refers back to the patent of 20 Oct 1691.  (Henrico Co., VA Wills & Deeds 1697-1704 pp 351-352)
