William Lomax
Born: 12 Jan 1764, Charles Co, MD
Died: 06 Nov 1835, Davidson, Montgomery/Iredell Co, NCWilliam Lomax was one of nine children born to John Lomax (b. 1737) and Maletta Roberts. William was born 12 Jan 1764 in Charles County, MD. Some sources list his name as "William Pemiott Lomax" and other sources list him a "William Benjamin Lomax". I've not seen enough data to convince me which one (if either) is correct.
He moved to Guilford County, North Carolina when he was about 16 years old. William enlisted in the Revolutionary War while living in Guilford County, NC, and served as a private in Captain McRee's and Elijah Moore's Company, under Colonel Armstrong in the NC troops. He was at the Siege of Ninety-Six, as well as various other battles, and was discharged on 09 May 1782. He returned to Guilford County, NC, after his service in the Revolutionary War and volunteered as a "regular" soldier in the summer of 1782, eventually going to Virginia. Returning to Guilford County, NC, again for several years, William eventually moved from Montgomery County to Rowan County, NC. Sources say he had a "strong, coarse voice", "heavy eyebrows", and was "low in stature". William and his brother Benjamin Lomax had adjoining farms - William's in Davidson County, NC, and Benjamin's in Randolph County, NC. William Lomax married Tabitha Gooden (Goodin) on 26 Dec 1793 at the home of her father, Alexander Gooden, in Montgomery County, NC. Tabitha was born 04 Nov 1769.

Montgomery, NCWilliam Lomax drew a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War in May 1819 in Salisbury, Rowan County, NC (which eventually became Davidson County, NC). This document from 1935 in Rowan County, NC, shows that William Lomax received $96 as an annual allowance for serving as a Private in the Revolutionary War.
U.S. Pension Roll from 1935 for Men Who Served during the Revolutionary War William Lomax died 06 Nov 1835 in Davidson County, NC, and was buried in Hannah Graveyard, Hew Hope Township, Randolph County, NC. After William's death, Tabitha was allowed to continue her husband's Revolutionary War pension. You can see Tabitha & William's name on the following North Carolina Pension Roll for widows of men who served during the Revolutionary War. The Roll shows that she received $25 twice a year in March and again in September. This particular Pension Roll indicates that she received her first payment in Sep 1836 and even though the chart went to 1850, it appears that her final payment was in Mar 1848. Some have said that her application to receive William's pension was executed on 19 Oct 1838 but this document seems to refute that claim. This document shws that the pension for men who served as Privates during the war ranging from $12.50 to $40. A Captain's pension was much higher - $20 twice a year.
U.S. Pension Roll for Widows of Men Who Served during the Revolutionary War Tabitha died 15 Feb 1856. She was residing in Davidson County, NC, at the time. In 1857, her son John A. Lomax was administrator of his mother's estate. Wild Turkeys
