Fellow Choate Researchers:
I innocently mentioned Choate on the Quaker-Roots list and have received two
emails, which I will send to the list, where they hopefully will help someone.
Most likely these folk are descendants of our Southern Choates from
Christopher in MD. I know that my ggg grandfather Powhatan Choat had kids and
siblings who ended up in TX. Hope this helps someone.
Merry Christmas. Janet Hunter

Hello Fellow Bird and Choate Researchers
Below I am pasting in a petition making the round of lists apparently of those
favoring the formation of Russell Co VA in 1785. It includes a Thomas and
William Byrd and frequent co-traveler of Thomas, Valentine Choate.
I meant to do this a while ago.
Merry Christmas

Winnie Simmons) and Henry Byrd (s/o John Byrd and Nancy Couts)

Petition to Form Russell County - December 1785
The petition of sundry inhabitants of Clinch River, Moccasin Creek,
Powells Valley, and others, citizens of Washington County humbly
represent that your petitioners are situated from the line of
Montgomery
as it crosses near the source of the Clinch River, down the same
eight
miles; thence to the extreme settlements of Powells Valley forty
more. The
greatest portion of your petitioners have to travel from twenty five
miles
and some eighty or an hundred; moreover are generally interrupted
by
Clinch Mountain and the north branch of the Holstein River; the
former
affording very difficult passes; the latter much danger and difficulty
in
crossing it in spring and after considerable rains; continuous to its
southern bank, a chain of hills almost as difficult as Clinch Mountain;
so
that great difficulty arises to your Petitioners not only in attending
Courts, but Courts Martial. And from the extent of schism between
our
small settlements make it exceedingly difficult to arrange companies
without subjecting some to travel 15 and 20 miles to private mustery.
There are two difficulties in the militia law that principally affect your
Petitioners. There are evils small indeed to the feelings we
constantly
undergo when obliged to leave our helpless families exposed at so
very
greast distances to obey the laws of our country. And however
evident the
danger may appear to us will not certainly on our failure of duty
plead
our excuse. Circumstance alone is sufficient to claim the human
respect
of the Legislature to remove the grievance. We therefore pray your
Honorable House will take our case into consideration and divide the
county. We further pray a line may be fixed along Clinch Mountain
to the
Carolina line; or with the line at present dividing the county into two
regiments to the aforesaid Carolina line; then with the said line to
Cumberland Mountain including taht existing county between
Cumberland
Mountain and Montgomery line and Clinch Mountain, or the aforesaid
regimental line for the new county and southeast of the said Clinch
Mountain remain Washington County; and we your Petitioners as in
duty
bound will ever pray.

Barbara,
I don't care where they came from I appreciate the "AUTHOR" very much for
their ingenuity. They are really cute and oh how I can relate! THANKS for
forwarding them.
Norma
I deeply apologize. I forgot to put a disclaimer on these poems.
Twelfth Day of Christmas
Night Before a Genealogist's Christmas
I did not write them. One was forwarded to me by a friend, and the
other I found elsewhere on the web. I don't know who the authors are,
but it isn't me. *smile*

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS - GENEALOGIST VERSION
"T'was the night before Christmas when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
The dining room table with clutter was spread
With pedigree charts and with letters which said...
"Too bad about the data for which you had written
It was lost in the stacks at Visitations of Britain."
Piles of old copies of wills, deeds, and such
Were proof that my work had become much to much.
Our children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.
As I sat my computer, I was ready to drop
>From entering data on cousins, whose lines never stop.
Christmas was here, and such was my lot
That presents and goodies and toys I forgot.
Had I not been so busy with my grandparent's wills,
I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills.
While others bought gifts that would bring Christmas cheers;
I'd spent time researching marriages and birth years.
While I was thus musing about my sad plight,
A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright.
Away to the window I flew in a flash,
Tore open the drapes and I yanked up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer.
Up to the housetop the reindeer they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys, and Saint Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoof.
The TV antenna was no match for their horns,
As I looked at our roof with hoof-prints adorned.
As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash,
Down the cold chimney fell Santa - KER-RASH!
"Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck,
And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!)
Spotting my face, good old Santa could see
I had no Christmas spirit as you'll have to agree.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk).
Here was Santa, who'd brought such gladness and joy;
When I'd been too busy for even one toy.
He spied my research on the table all spread
"A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!)
"Tonight I've met many like you", Santa grinned.
And he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned.
I gazed with amazement - at the cover which said
"Your Genealogy Lines - Ne'er Before Read"
"I know what it's like to have the genealogy bug,"
He said, as he gave me a a great Santa Hug.
"While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry,
I do lots of research in the North Pole Library!
A special treat I am thus able to bring,
To genealogy folks who can't find a thing.
Now off you go to your bed for a rest,
I'll clean up the house with this genealogy mess."
As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee,
I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me.
While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle,
To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle
And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,
"Family History is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!"
On the Twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Twelve census searches
Eleven printer ribbons
Ten e-mail contacts
Nine headstones rubbings
Eight birth and death dates
Seven town clerks sighing
Six second cousins,
Five coats of arms,
Four GEDCOM files,
Three old wills,
Two CD-ROMS,
And a branch in my family tree
