There is a Family Bible and a set of old pictures being offered in two
seperate sales on EBay. The seller has seperated the pictures from the
Bible and is selling in a different auction. This is a crying shame to
break up such a genealogical treasure. If anyone belongs to this
family, you might want to check out the auctions:

Delight.

Court
This Richard Choat was b. 2/9/1763 Baltimore Co., MD and d. 11/29/1813
Baltimore Co., MD. He married Jane Ann Lowe (1763-1855) 8/4/1783 in
Baltimore Co., MD (dau. of Edward Lowe). This Richard was the son of Solomon
Choat (1736-1791), who was the son of Edward (1689-1754) and Eleanor Savage
(1693) Choate. In 1806, Richard was appointed one of the Supervisors of the
Turnpikes for the State of Maryland in Baltimore County. He was given an
advance of monies to pay for materials and had under his direction and
management the Criminals who were employed to build the roads. When he
resigned, there was a $1,186.10 that was not accounted for. The State of
Maryland filed suit against him to have the money repaid. Richard died
before the case could go to court. Therefore, the State of Maryland ceased
the assests from his estate. Afterwards there was a long court battle and
his heirs were suing each other. The court cases and estate was finally
settled in 1824, and Jane and the minor children moved to Simpson Co.,
Kentucky. Jane and son Herod eventually moved back to Maryland. It is my
understanding that Herod or one of his sons evenually gained back the family
property.
I have several documents of the case of the State of Maryland against
Richard Choate as well as the lawsuits between his children.

I am looking for the parents of Betsy CHOATE. She married Lewis POWELL in
either VA or Burke County, North Carolina. Applications for entrance into
the Cherokee nation have stated that she is of Cherokee blood. Lewis POWELL
is listed in the 1790 Burke County, NC census. One male over 16 and one
female over 16. They later moved to Maury County, TN.
This is very interesting - Who were these Choates? Southerners, I
presume. I don't see anywhere where the given name is mentioned , so don't
know how they fit in the family.

The first site, about the Maryland ghost, has a broken link. I found a
picture on another site that shows the Choate house and gives a short
description.
http://www.bcplonline.org/info/history/hist_ra_history.html
Another local business was started in 1850, the Choate Chrome Mine. The
mine was
located on the east side of Deer Park Road southeast of the historical
marker for
Soldier's Delight State Park. The barrens of Soldier's Delight were
filled with surface and
pit deposits of the rare mineral chromite. The processing of this
mineral became a major
local industry, and was unique to the entire region. These mines were
finally absorbed
into Allied Chemical Company. In recent times, foreign sources of
chromite have replaced the local ones. One can still see evidence of the
chromite in the orange-tinted boulders near Soldier's Delight.
The Choate family moved to the area from Limestone Valley in 1853. Their
three-story house had been built in 1804, after Liberty Road had been
made a direct route to Baltimore. The Choate House was originally built
as an inn or tavern. Its walls are 18 inches of solid stone and 8 inches
more of cement.

Location: Randallstown (Choate Chrome Mine)
Ghost Name(s): Choate family
Description:
The mine was started in 1850. It was located on the east side of Deer
Park Road. It was located southeast of the historical marker for
Soldier's Delight State Park. The land at Soldier's Delight was filled
with deposits of the rare mineral chromite. The mining of chrome became
a major industry for the town. The Allied Chemical Company purchased the
mines. The mines were discontinued when companies started buying their
chrome from foreign countries. The mine was started by the Choate
family. The Choate family moved to the area in 1853. They built a
three-story house in 1804 on Liberty Road. The Choate's built their
house as an inn and a tavern. The walls were 18 inches of solid stone
and 8 inches of solid cement.
People say that the house is haunted by the Choate family. People have
claimed to have seen ghostly faces looking out of the windows.
I just found a very interesting page for those with Texas ancestors:
http://three-legged-willie.org/texas.htm
The Index to Texas Probate Records
A W.P.A. project of the 1940's generated indexes for probate records
housed in at least 30 Texas counties. The purpose of this project is to
bring the data from all 30 county indexes together into one alphabetical
listing. Over 26,000 probate cases from eleven Texas counties are now
available at this web site; these records represent about 45% of the
total project
All counties are alphabetized into one list. The counties include:
Brown, Bowie, Camp, Chambers, Delta, Guadalupe, Newton, Robertson, Rusk
and Williamson. Should you find a name that is of interest to you,
please contact the Court House in that particular county for more
information. Addresses and phone numbers are listed at the bottom of
this web page.
I am looking for the parents of Betsey CHOATE. She married Lewis Powell.
Lewis Powell is on the 1790 census for Burke Co., NC. One male over 16 and
One female over 16. Lewis Powell was the son of Ambrose Powell. Lewis and
Ambrose Powell were in Maury Co., TN, in 1820. Lewis died abt. 1830. Do not
know when Betsey died. Applications for entrance into the Cherokee Nation in
Oklahoma have stated that Betsey CHOATE was of Cherokee blood.
Hi to all,
You might or might not have heard this information so I am passing it along.
The
National Archives and Records has a "newer" web site address. This is a very
important site for Genealogy and all kinds of records and information. So you
might
need to know it now or in the future, so here it is below.
Happy Searching!
