Notes:
Data source is the 1990 book, "Moomaw-Mumma-Mumaw-Mumaugh Genealogy" compiled by Robert Austin Moomaw (deceased).
Data source & researcher is Donna Hoffmann [Deceased]
Christian's will is recorded in Shenandoah County, VA Will book-18-page 51, in which he names his 10 living children. On the 12th of September 1814, he married Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Henry Walker in in Shenandoah County. By her he had eleven children. Recent evidence indicates that he also had an illegimate son by Susan Coffelt. This boy was named William H. Mumaw and is named in Christian's Will. Christian was still married to his first wife, Elizabeth, when William was born. He was the youngest of Christian's twelve children. In some genealogies, this William is listed as "William Henry Mumaw", but I have not seen evidence for the middle name of "Henry". He did use the middle initial of "H". Possibly some researchers incorrectly read his father's will in which his brother, Henry, is listed immediately after him and the comma is difficult to read. Thus he is often listed as "William Henry".
In the 1850 census shown below, William was enumerated as a "Coffelt" and not a Mumaw at this time. It is interesting to note in the 1880 census that William also followed his grandfather's footsteps as a "wagonmaker".
