John F. Choate, an extensive planter and the genial senior member of the
firm of Choate, Fowler & Martin, dealers in general merchandise, was born in
Robertson County, Tenn., in 1841, his parents being Gabriel Choate and Jane
Brewer, natives of Tennessee, where the father was born in 1820 and married
in 1840, and followed farming till 1850, when he with his wife and family of
six children, John F., being the eldest, came to Arkansas, settling near
Chickalah. Here he and his aged wife still live, enjoying their old age in
comfort, affording proof of the healthfulness of Arkansas climate from
having lived in this State for over forty years, always keeping in the best
of health. For many years they have been counted among the worthy members of
the Christian Church. Mr. Choate's grandfather, on both sides, were natives
Virginians. They came to Tennessee when very young men, where Grandfather
Choate died. Grandfather Brewer emigrated to Arkansas in 1850 and died here.
Our subject was but nine years old when his parents moved to this State, and
being placed in school he received a very fair education, and on arriving at
maturity held some of the county's most responsible official positions. In
1865 he was elected circuit clerk, serving over eight years, and in 1876 he
was elected county judge, filling this office four years with great credit
to himself and the county. While acting in this capacity he was the means of
having two iron bridges constructed, which are permanent and lasting
structures, and a great credit to the county. In 1878 he located in
Bellville and established a mercantile business, which was in 1876 merged
into that of the firm of Choate, Fowler & Martin, which carries a stock
principally of general merchandise, plantation supplies, etc., valued at
about $7,000, and does a trade of some $20,000 annually. The Judge's
personal property consists of the building known as "the store house," and
other town property. His extensive [p.135] farms, comprise 1,000 acres of
very fair upland, 300 cultivated and improved with a good dwelling-house,
and substantial outbuildings. The marriage of Judge Choate and Miss Alice
Stafford was celebrated in May, 1869, she being a daughter of Dr. Stafford,
of Danville, and they are the parents of eight children, seven of whom are
living: Edith, Cecil S., John B., Roscoe, Garland, Eunice and Carl; Lillie
J. died in infancy. Mr. Choate and his family are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and he has been steward for many years. He
affiliates with the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Christian Lodge No. -,
and the Chapter at Dardanelle. Intellectually, the Judge is one of the
soundest men in the county, thoroughly posted in regard to its political and
educational affairs. His public spirit has been demonstrated by the fact
that he was one of the four to contribute funds for the erection of the
Bellville Academy. He is recognized in the community in which he lives as a
genial and courteous gentleman, and is respected by all who know him.

T. J. Choate, an eminent and esteemed citizen of Magazine Township, and the
owner of the sawmill plant two and a half miles north of Chickalah, was born
in Tennessee, in 1843, and is the son of Gabriel and Jane (Brewer) Choate,
also of Tennessee origin, and born about 1820 and 1816, respectively, and
were married in Robinson County. The father, a farmer by occupation,
emigrated from his native State to Missouri, thence to Arkansas in 1850.
Locating in this county he bought and entered land, which he improved and he
and wife, worthy members of the Christian Church, make their home in
Magazine Township. Our subject enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1862,
joining Company B of Infantry, Hawthorne's Regiment, and at the expiration
of eleven months joined the Federal Army as a private, and participated in
the battle of Jenkins' Ferry and a number of skirmishes, and discharged May,
1865. The year following his return from army life witnessed his marriage
(July 8) to Miss Salina Wilson, an Arkansan by birth, born in 1844, and a
daughter of William and Minerva (Cole) Wilson. The fruits of this union are
nine children -six sons and three daughters-Rufus, Mattie, Gabriel, Mary,
John, Charles, Seth, Rual and Blanche, who in 1887 were called upon to mourn
the loss of their mother. In connection with his milling business, which has
a capacity for sawing nearly 10,000 feet per day, he owns 380 acres of land,
with some fine timber on it, and cultivates 100, his principal crops being
cotton and corn. He is a member of Chickalah Lodge No. 304 of the Masonic
order.

William seems to have inherited a passion for the sea, and at 20 years
of age, against the wishes of his father, he became a sailor. With a
small bundle under his arm he left home, walked to Newburyport, MA, and
shipped "before the mast" on the merchant ship "Reward", on a three
years' voyage. If possible to dissuade him, his father told him that he
should claim his wages until he was 21. At the end of three years, the
young sailor returned to his father's house, brought his earnings in
coin, and having shaken his father's hand, he tossed the money on the
table saying," There, Father, are my wages." The tender-hearted parent
walked to the window and wiped his eyes, but took none of the money.
William still followed the seas until he became master of the vessel on
which he first sailed. The War of 1812 so endangered the business that
he sold his ship in a foreign port and returned home on a French
vessel. Shortly after, the ship "Reward" was captured by a British
privateer and burned. Thus ended his career on the ocean.
Hi Missy,
Thanks for your post.
William Livingston Choate and Moses Livingston Choate were one and the same.
He dropped the William some where along the way. He was known by Moses, by
the time he was in Texas. I am becoming more and more convinced that Stokley
and he were brothers. Sure wish that I could find some records on them all.

My aunts had quite an extensive grouping of Choates in their book: "Barefoot and
Withrow Family", by Anne and Vivian
Daughterty, Litho in USA by Ray L. Stanphill, Dallas, Texas, 1966.
But they didn't know about Prudence's first marriage, which I've just begun to
hear about. Thus their suggested marriage date for Prudence is only based on
James Monroe's birthdate.
However they do have the parents of Stokely D, listed as: Christopher & Prudence
Choate.
Good luck.

Hi ,
Is there any one on the Choate list that knows if Moses L Choate and Stokley
Choate were brothers? And if so ,do you have any documentation?
Stokley Choate married Prudence Dora Choate ,(first cousins) when her son,
James Monroe Choate was about three years old.
James Monroe Choate was my ggrandfather. Shortly before my Mom (Mary Jane
Choate) died she wrote that Moses was her grandfather. My Mom was a down to
earth type of person, and she would not have written this, unless she had
good reason to believe it. I very much would like to find out who the
parents of Moses L Choate and Stoclley were. Thanks for any leads or ideas.

Both of my father's grandfathers married sisters, daughters of Albert
and Rhoda Daniels Talcott. Abel Choate married Rhoda Caroline Talcott
the oldest of the family,in 1857. She was born in Berkshire Co, MA.
They married In Grafton Co. NH - Abel's birthplace and home of parents,
David and Miriam Choate.
James McKee was born in Ireland and married the youngest Talcott girl,
Fannie in 1866 in Henderson Co. IL. The Talcott family lived there, in
Biggsville, IL at the time.
I am looking for information on the parents' ancestors. All I know is
that both Albert and Rhoda were born in MA. Is there any other Choate
that might be from Abel's descent that could help me?

Here's a nice little northern story about Thomas Choate, 5th generation
- Ebenezer (4), Ebenezer (3), Thomas (2), John (1). Thomas, born 1795
,had an eventful life. When a lad he was captured on a Privateer in the
War of 1812 and confined for nearly three years in the famous Dartmoor
Prison in England. When released he made his way home on board of some
ship bound for Boston. On his arrival a gentleman was struck by his
youthful appearance and his ragged condition, and ask his name. "Tom
Choate" the lad replied. "Any relation to my old friend, Ebenezer
Choate of Newburyport?" ask the gentleman. "Yes, Sir," answered
Thomas. "He is my father." "Then come with me." said the stranger.
The gentleman took him to a tailor's shop and ask him "What sort of a
suit of clothes do you want?" The boy, true to the instincts of the
sailor , which afterwards made him the noble commander of a ship, that
he was, replied "The suit of a sailor boy". Later on he reached
Newburyport after a long absence of hardship, cruelty, and want, having
found very timely assistance through the good old name of Choate, which
he bore.
I have more if you want them.

Natchez is in Mississippi, on the Mississippi River - very famous. The
Natchez Trace went from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, an overland route in
early times. Andrew Jackson traveled over it. It was pretty much a foot path.

Hi, I looked it up, and the reference is in Genesis 29:9-30 (and the story
goes on from there), but I am using the New Revised Standard Version and find
no reference to color of eyes and hair. And, Rachel was the younger sister -
Leah was the elder. This is the story where Jacob covenants with Laban
(father of the two girls, and his uncle as well) to serve seven years and get
Rachel for a wife. He serves the seven years and gets Leah instead (the
bride was brought veiled to the wedding). So he serves seven more years and
gets Rachel (plural marriage was still OK then). The NRSV says "Leah's eyes
were lovely" with a footnote that the Hebrew is uncertain - I believe I've
seen elsewhere that "Leah's eyes were weak" which would have been seen as a
defect. But one reason that Jacob wanted Rachel was that she was the first
one he met (and kissed!) Anyway, these two sisters plus their handmaids who
became Jacob's concubines, were the mothers of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Rachel had only two sons, but they were the best-loved, Joseph and Benjamin.
More than you wanted to know, perhaps...<G>

Seeking information on surname SHOATE(S). My paternal Grandmother was
HELEN SHOATE. Her parents were DANIEL SHOATE and MARY PORTER. HELEN
was born in Oakdale, Tn 6-9-1901 and died on March 19, 1995 . I was
told she lived for a time in Ohio then migrated to Pennsylvania where I
find her on the census in 1920 married to WILLIAM MCELROY. HELEN had
six siblings, all who preceded her in death. The only one I remember
was "Aunt Ginny" (JENNIFER). I am seeking information on her parents.
DANIEL, her father, was caucasian according to family lore. MARY, her
mother, was African American. I noted when I subscribed to this list
SHOATE is a variation of CHOATE. I would like to know also was caused
the change in spelling etc. Any and all info, suggestions, leads would
be greatly appreciated. Note: I've also been told by a family source
that may not be so reliable my Grandmother has relatives in the
Braselton, Ga area who also founded the town or a town in the area.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
