Hello rooters:- Looking for information on a William Wilson DENTON, who
was part of a force to remove the Cherokee west to AR. It is my
understanding that William Wilson DENTON was married to an Indian (3/4)
named Chote______.
According to the information submitted to me there is reason to
believe there may have been a connection to a Silas CHOTE.
After arriving in AR our William Wilson DENTON stayed on. Sorry
for the skimpy information on hand. Hope someone may have something to
add. Looking forward to your responses.
Take care and best wishes.

For those on the Choate list researching the Ipswich, MA line of Choates,
the Making of America web site has a reprint of an article on Rufus Choate
and is dated May 1863. The article is printable.
The URL is:
http://www.umdl.umich.edu/moa/moa_search.html
From there you can click on to each page.
This is a good site. You can check other surname listings (besides Choate)
from the Making of America pages as well.

Hi Barbara -
I checked out your website. Very good!! I have heard of the book published by
your aunts but have never seen it. I was told there was some information in
it regarding my great-great grandparents, DAVID BARTLETT CHOATE and POLLY ANN
(JUDSON) CHOATE. I was told by someone who had information about the book
that David was buried in Tarrant Co., TX and Polly was buried in Hill Co., TX.
I do not have either one's death records (they are not at the Texas Bureau of
Vital Statistics) or location of their gravesites. David was born in 1823 in
Mississippi and Polly was born in 1823 in Illinois. I hope you or anyone else
can help me here!!!

Found these Choates in the book-A History of Scott County Arkansas, written by
Norman Goodner, published by Bar D Press of Siloam Springs, Arkansas, 1941
April - 1834
The first election of officers was held and the following elected:
Elijah Baker, county judge
S.B.Walker, county clerk
James Riley, sheriff
J.B.Choate, coroner*
Heads of Families in Scott County in 1840: D. Choate, J. R. Choate
County Officials of Scott County:
1833-1835 J. R. Choate, coroner
1838-1840 J. R. Choate, coroner
1854-1856 Drew Choate, coroner
*I did not type this wrong-it was this way in the book. I assume that J.B. &
J.R.
are the same person.............
When this county was first formed, it located the county seat at Cauthron, near
Booneville, now in Logan County. It remained there until about the year 1840,
when it was moved to Winfield, 3 miles northeast of the present site of Waldron.
(This info was from the year of 1941 when the book was published.)

In 1966, my aunts privately published a book on their maternal
ancestors. One of the lines was Choate. I just finished putting a
good part of their information from the book on a website.
Choate
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/5455/index.html
I still plan to add a couple of family anecdotes. And other maternal
branches.
Please feel free to check it out. These are Choates that went from
Tennessee to Arkansas to Texas and then to Oklahoma.

I'm sorry, but I've gotten that same story in about 20 different

Final wish of a little girl
No comedy here. It's about a seven year old girl with cancer.
Please read it and pass it on to as many people that you can.
Occasionally we get to use this medium for some actual good, rather
than trading barbs across the waves. And once in a while things
like this bring us back to reality, allowing us to count ourselves lucky
in life.
Let's put our network to work here! It will only take you a second
to send this message.
Jessica Mydek is seven years old and is suffering from an acute
and very rare case of CEREBRAL CARCINOMA. This condition causes
severe Malignant brain tumours and is a terminal illness.
The doctors have given her six months to live. As part of her dying
wish, she wanted to start a chain letter to inform people of this
condition and to send people the message to live life to the fullest and
enjoy
every moment, a chance that she will never have.
Furthermore, the American cancer society and several corporate
sponsors have agreed to donate three cents toward continuing cancer
research for every new person that gets forwarded this message.
Please give Jessica and all cancer victims a chance. Add
acs(a)aol.com
to the list of people that you send this to so that the American
cancer society will be able to calculate how many people have gotten
this.
If there are any questions, send them to the American cancer
society at acs(a)aol.com Three cents for every person that receives this
letter
turns out to be a lot of money considering how many people will get this
letter and how many people they,in turn, pass it on to.
Grandma's Disease
Author unknown
There's been a change in Grandma, we've noticed her of late.
She's always reading history or jotting down some date.
She's tracking back the family, we'll all have pedigrees.
Oh, Grandma's got a hobby - she's climbing the FAMILY TREE.
Poor Grandpa does the cooking, and now, or so he states,
That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and dinner plates.
Grandma can't be bothered, she's busy as a bee,
Compiling genealogy for the FAMILY TREE.
She has no time to babysit, the curtains are a fright,
No buttons left on Grandpa's shirt, the flower bed's a sight.
She's given up her club work and the soaps on TV,
The only thing she does nowadays is climb the FAMILY TREE.
She goes down to the courthouse and studies ancient lore,
We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before.
The books are old and dusty, they make poor Grandma sneeze,
A minor irritation when you're climbing the FAMILY TREE.
The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far,
Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR.
A monumental project all do agree,
All from climbing the FAMILY TREE.
Now some folks came from Scotland, some from Galway Bay,
Some were French as pastry, some German all the way.
Some went West to stake their claims, some stayed there by the sea.
Grandma hopes to find them all, as she climbs the FAMILY TREE.
She wanders through the graveyard in search of date and name,
The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same.
She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze,
That blows above the Fathers of all our FAMILY TREES.
There are pioneers and patriots, mixed in our kith and kin,
Who blazed the paths of wildness and fought through thick and thin.
But none more staunch than Grandma, who eyes light up with glee,
Each time she finds a missing branch for the FAMILY TREE.
Their skills were wide and varied, from carpenter to cook,
And one, alas, the records show, was hopelessly a crook.
Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge - some tutored for a fee.
Once lost in time, now all recorded on the FAMILY TREE.
To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more,
She learns the joys and heartaches of those that went before.
They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept - and now, for you and
me,
They live again in spirit around the FAMILY TREE.
At last she's nearly finished and we are each exposed,
Life will be the same again, this we all supposed.
Grandma will cook and sew, serve cookies with our tea.
We'll all be fat, just as before the wretched FAMILY TREE.
Sad to relate, the preacher called and visited for a spell.
We talked about the Gospel, and other things as well.
The heathen folk, the poor and then - 'twas fate, it had to be,
Somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and the FAMILY TREE.
He never knew his Grandpa, his mother's name was...Clark?
He and Grandma talked and talked, outside it grew quite dark.
We'd hoped our fears were groundless, but just like some disease,
Gramdma's become an addict - she's hooked on FAMILY TREES!
Our souls are filled with sorrow, our hearts sad with dismay.
Our ears could scarce believe the words we heard our Grandma say,
"It sure is a lucky thing that you have come to me,
I know exactly how it's done. I'll climb your FAMILY TREE."

CHOATES OF TEH SOUTH - DESCENDANTS OF CHRISTOPHER CHOATE OF MARYLAND - Vol

and HENRY J BURKE - by J C Rickman - license issued Sept 12, 1859 and
marriage Sept 13, 1859.
Hello, my name is Shurby, glad to join the mailing list.
My great great grandmother was Sarah "Sallie" Elizabeth Choate b. 1821
GA. She married Henry J. BURKS b. 1828 Giles Co Tn. The married in
Lawrence Co TN and lived in the St. Joseph,TN- Florence AL area. My
grandmother who is 98 years old and still going, has told me that Sarah,
her grandmother was killed during the Civil War. The story is not real
clear because grandmother always cries when she tells it but it goes
something like this. The confederates came to get Henry Burks to join
the army, he didn't want to go so they killed Sarah and some of his
children and then he went. Does anyone have any info. about this
relative or her siblings or her parents. Please let me know.
I am looking for any information on the Choate family. With other names
suchas Peterson, Garrison, Champbell, Hurd, Webb. My E-mail address is
STu2765516(a)aol.com
My address is
Liz Tucker

Thank you Liz
Nikki,
Do you have any information on the ancestry of John Choate's wife,
Anne Carramas or information about his parents Robert Choate and Sarah

Eric,
No, in fact I had not known that John Choate's wife's name was known until
reading your message. Where did you find that? My mind is blank at the
moment on where John Choate came from in Essex (England) but I suppose it
would be worth checking the LDS microfilms to see if information can be found.
At this point I am mostly occupied with some long-delayed census checking in
the horrible 19th century, but will put it on my to-do list - unless someone
else who is working on updating Jameson's book has already done this research.
