What I have is the following. I don't guarantee 100% accuracy and I don't know more about this family either. This is perhaps the beginning of the Sanders as a first name. It was fairly common to use the
mother's maiden name as a first name among the children.

I was wondering if anyone out there may know the connection between the Choates and Sanders families?
Since I started searching for my Choate ancestors, I have seen the Sanders name come up many times....i.e. the last posting of Edward Choate's Last Will and Testament.
I have three ancestors named Sanders.
1. Sanders Choate b. 1790 m. Nancy Titsworth d/o Benjamin Titsworth*....they had son, Ira Ellis b. abt. 1825
Ira Ellis Choate m. Margaret Susan Fort (d/o Spear Fort and Margaret Susan Titsworth*)...they had son
2. Sanders Ellis Choate b. August 18, 1852 m. Martha Ann Sharp they settled in Arkansas
3. Sanders Choate b. abt. 1820 is the son of Silas Choate who is brother of Sanders of 1790. This Sanders was married to Susan Riley of the Cherokee Nation East and they eventually settled in Oklahoma
*Note: Benjamin and Margaret Susan Titsworth were half brother and sister and the children of Col. Isaac Titsworth. There is no information about the Col's first two wives....could one of them been a Sanders?
Any thoughts about the connection of the Sanders and Choate families would be appreciated.

Hello Cousins:
This may be coals to Newcastle, but several months ago I rented three
microfilms of Robertson Co Will Books in basically a document collecting
exercise, also looking for Webbs and Haleys.
I found the following reference which I'd forgotten til I was paging through
a notebook and may be of significance, though not initially apparent,
regarding the ancestry of the Robertson County Birds, and adds one more mark
in the column for Thomas Byrd/Sarah Empson of New Castle, DE.
Will Book 9, page 343, Robertson County. I am paraphrasing here and did not
copy the entire date. 1836 -- Valentine SIMMONS, Guardian for the minor
heirs of GREGORY EMPSON, dec'd, Rebecca and William G. Empson.
Do any of you who have studied Robertson Co records more than I know of the
relationship between Valentine Simmons and Gregory Empson??
This is important because I believe that Valentine Simmons was the husband of
one of the two daughters married to Simmons men:: "Betsy Simmons" and "Cassy
Simmons" named in the will of Edward CHOATE in Robertson Co. Another daughter
named was Charity MEDLOCK (MATLOCK). The will was written in August 1829.
Executors were son Gabriel Choate, Voluntine Simmons, James SEAL and James
SHANNON. I have a copy if anyone is interested.
The connections between the Birds and Choates, prior to Robertson Co. have
been established in SW VA and East TN. However, several of the above
families are also still next door neighbors in Dade County Missouri in the
1840s, 1850s and on in South Township, and they are joined by Birds. These
include Edward Choate's grandsons by son Gabriel -- Gabriel Jr. who comes
first (who moved on to Arkansas) and Powhatan Choate (wife Winney HALEY);
Charity Medlock who died there; Isham SIMMONS, son of Valentine and maybe
Cassy (Casselia); Nancy (Couts) Bird, widow of John Bird, Robert Bird of
Carroll Co. TN, as well as I believe probably descendants of FINLEYs of
Augusta another fellow travellor of these folks in the 1700s. FYI, I have
found Finley and Bird in Augusta Co. in the 1750s in the Roanoke Community
mentioned in Kegley's Virginia Frontiers.
.
I also found in my notes the following interesting followup to Edward
Choate's will:
"1836 - Robertson County, TN Deed Book Y, Page 578-579
Gabriel Choat form Voluntine SIMMONS. 2 September 1836. This indenture made
this first day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and twenty six, between Voluntine Simmons Executor of the Last Will and
Testament of Edward CHOAT, dec'd, of the County of Robertson and State of
Tennessee and Gabriel CHOAT of the same county. Witnesseth that whereas by
the Last Will and Testament of the Said Edward Choat, dec'd, the testator
ordered a certain tract of his real estate to be sold b;y his executor and
whereas the said Voluntine Simmons and Gabriel Choat having obtained Letters
of Testamentary on the estate of the Dec'd, did expose said tract of land to
public sale on 8 Dec 1831 and there upon Gabriel Choat became the purchaser
by bidding the sum of $400.00. Now witnesseth that the said Voluntine
Simmons acting executor aforesaid for an in consideration of the sum of
$400.00 to him in hand paid by the said Gabriel Choat, land in Robertson
County, on waters of Red River bounded as follows: To wit, ... etc... 223
acres. Part of a tract of land originally granted by the State of North
Carolina to ____ SANDERS and said tract being conveyed to said Edward Choat,
dec'd, by Obediah BOUNDS by deed dated 10 August 1810.
Proved 1 August 1836. W. Seal. Voluntine Simmons (Seal)"
My best regards,
Janet Hunter -- Descendant of Lucinda Choate and Henry Bird, children of
Powhatan Choate and Winney Haley, AND John Bird and Nancy Couts -- via their
daughter CASSELIA (Cassy) who married William Michael Marsh.
Judi W. has again supplied some good information about the Choates.

#7754: History of Trigg County, Historical and Biographical, ed. W.H.
Perrin, F.A. Battey Pub. Co., Chicago, 1884. p. 223. [Ferguson Springs
Precinct] WILLIAM M. GILLAHAN, farmer, was born in Trigg County, Ky.,
June
2, 1818, and is a son of James and Elizabeth (Baker) Gillahan. Subject's
grandparents came from North Carolina, and were among the first settlers
in
Trigg County. His father lived and died near what was the site of the
old
Empire Furnace; his mother died in the fall of 1861 by the hand of one
of
her slaves (Easter Gillahan), whom she had reared from childhood.
William
M., our subject, has made farming his sole occupation. On Christmas,
1859,
he settled on the farm which he now owns, and which is one of the best
in
Ferguson Springs Precinct. In 1843 he married Cecelia Ferguson, a native
of
Kentucky, by whom he had eight children; two sons and one daughter are
living. Mrs. Gillahan departed the life in March, 1861, and in November,
1862, Mr. G. [sic] married Margaret Choat; to this union have been born
eight children, seven of whom are living. Three of his children by his
first wife and one by his last are married. K. P. was married to Nancy
F.
Choat March 27, 1863; they have two daughters. Robin was married May 9,
1880, to Martha B. McWatters; they have one son and one daughter. S. R.
married Martha Lampkins March 8, 1883; Cecelia was married, December 21,
1882, to J. H. Smith; they have one daughter. The children at home are:
R.
J., Margaret G., R. M., Christian L., Robert L. and Ellen T. Three
grandchildren-Lillie Gillahan, William P. and Florence, the last two,
orphans of J. C. Gillahan, also make their home with our subject. Mr.
Gillahan's aunt was the first white child born in Christian County. K.
P.
Gillahan's wife and his father's wife are sisters.
List,
Can anyone help me with the following names on CHOATE?
Looking for BRUCE CHOATE from Louisiana, perhaps Layfayette? Perhaps
still living?
1/2 brother of my Grandmother, MATTIE CHOATE (DUNN) and WILLIS CHOATE
of Marietta, Oklahoma, owner of the MARIETTA MONITOR newspaper is also
a brother.
Father RICHARD WILLISON CHOATE, Sheriff Cass County, Texas in 1882.
Some research would be in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Thanks any help appreciated.
