"Captain Richard Wommack, of Company G, 3rd Calvary, Missouri State Militia, resigned April 24, 1862. However disappointed were his friends that he chose the Union side, none ever questioned his sincerity of his unselfish patriotism. Of all the public men in Lincoln County, he was the most popular. He was a just and honorable man, and to the day of his death, was respected and esteemed by all good men. He was one of my best friends."
(With Porter In North Missouri, by Joseph A. Mudd, pg 396)

Capt. Richard Wommack was born in Halifax County, Virginia in 1804. When two years old his father went to Tennessee and settled near Nashville. In a few years, he moved to Sumner County, Tennessee and shortly afterward to Smith County, Tennessee where he died. Brice Hammack, who had married the Captain's sister, and came to this county in 1820, and Joseph Sitton, whom came here in 1817, returned to Tennessee in 1823 on a visit. They gave such flattering accounts of the new country that the Captain and his brother Hiram were eager to go at once. It was some time before his mother could be persuaded to leave her home in Tennessee for then the wilderness. She finally consented and the party consisting of those named above and Brice Burroughs and Malcolm Smith, started on the third of October 1823. They passed through Troy, Missouri, on Sunday the 22nd of October 1823, and camped at Levi Brown's spring. Joseph Sitton, a great gallant, and noted even to the last days of his life for the extreme fondness for the society of young and handsome ladies, went on about a mile further, accompanied by Burroughs, to the house of Alembe Williams, Sr., to see his pretty daughter, Sallie. Williams lived on the place now owned by William Fasse -- the old James Trail farm.

Capt. Wommack settled on a tract now belonging to the heirs of the late James F. Moore, built a cabin and cleared six acres of ground. He can identify the exact spot, but without a plat does not recollect which section it was on. More than likely it was in section three, possibly on the line of two, township fifty, range two west. Here he remained two years, and in 1826 he went over to the Stout settlement, near his father-in-law Mr. Smiley, he having married his first wife Synthia Smiley August 18, 1825. Shortly afterwards he returned to the forks of the Cuivre, built another cabin and cleared another six acres of ground just east of where he first settled.
