Dear List.
I need help in identifying the individual whose spoon I inherited. It
was manufactured in England by S. Emery. and is engraved with the
monogram JSC followed by a date of 1789. One of the troubling features
in the initials is that they are three in number. (any thoughts?)
As I have New England (Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine) CARTER,
CHOATE, CURTIS AND CUTTS ancestors, I figured it had to be from one of
those families.
Any help would be most appreciated.
I can provide a digital picture if it would help.
Many thanks,
E. Hubbard
Just curious (my Choates are Southern), but why would three initials by
troubling?

Hi List,
Recently I saw some information stating that one Moses
Choate (of which there seems to be many Moses') was
the father of Silas and Sanders Choate (late 1700's).
Along with this information it was noted that Edward
and James Choate were also sons of Moses.
Does anyone have any information that would verify
this? I have been unable to confirm the parents of
these boys. Or to find any records at all pertaining
to Moses.
I did find 2 Moses Choates, one in Maine and another
in New Hampshire, born about the same time but the
ages don't seem to match up or the children listed are
none of the boys listed above.
Can anyone enlighten me?
My line is through Sanders Choate and Nancy Titsworth
to Ira Ellis and Margaret Susan Fort to Sanders Ellis
and Marth Ann Sharp to Arabelle Choate/Chote and Amon
Filander Daniel.
Thanks
Berlene

Barbara and all,
Thanks for the great letter! I'll comment on it separately. However, it
occurs to me that I have one more piece of connections between the Crocketts
and Choates that just all of a sudden struck me.
Around 1800, my 4g grandfather Daniel Horton was witness to at least two
deeds in Washington Co. TN that involved land bordering on Greenberry Choate,
who if I understand correctly is thought to be the son of Richard Choate b.
1722 in Baltimore, son of Christopher Choate and Flora who many thinks was a
Hawkins. Also in deeds there at the time in Washington Co TN were at least
an Christopher and Austin/Augustine Choate.
The key thing here is that Daniel Horton lived just west of today's Limestone
TN, and about a mile from Davey Crockett's birthplace. So here we have the
Choates and Crocketts likely neighbors on the Greene/Washington Co TN border.
This proximity is in addition to Barbara's which is in ??? Co TN. I can't
remember. I need to go back and find the deeds that Daniel Horton witnessed
to confirm the location.
I can't remember if this is your line Barbara?? We also have an unknown wife
for Richard, Greenberry's father, unknown wife for Greenberry and several of
his brothers I believe. Davey Crockett's mother Rebecca Hawkins, may have
been from Baltimore. I should look more carefully at those Washington Co
deeds to see if I can find a cluster of other people from Baltimore.
My best,
Janet (Baugh) Hunter (Descendant of Edward Choate, d. 1829 in Robertson Co TN)

This is an old letter of an aunt that I found in a notebook. It might
not be interesting to all, but I thought it might give an insight on my
family's feelings about the Choates.
Antoinette Daugherty Huff
25 Sept 1969
"And why do you consider yourself a Choate?" Let me tell you why. The
Choates are a clan. They have never broken the thread of that strong
clan feeling that each member is important, that each member belongs,
and is to be loved and protected as you care for your self. I have
tried to analyze this. The Withrows drift apart. The Daughertys
separate, the Cravens are loners, and only the Choate blood consistently
clings to their own.
Since coming here (Ada, Oklahoma) I have observed this branch. They are
uneducated but they have an inborn gentility about them that no amount
of cultivation could give them. It's impossible to put that kind of
cloak on, some time your armor will crack and the crudeness will show
through. But not the Choates. They are kind, and gentle, always quiet,
calm and self-possessed. They are always in command of themseles and
the situation. Old Cousin Dan Lyons once long ago (He could neither
read or write yet he was an itinerate preacher.) came to Ada to visit
us. He didn't know how or where to find us. But with the true
instincts of a gentleman he went to the Oklahoma State Bank, asked for
the president, Haskell Huddlestone, and inquired where I could be
found. I told Mr. Huddleston I would be right down. And he said,
"He'll be here in my office." Greatness recognizes greatness. Hack
Huddleston was a gentleman from Tennessee. Their real stations in life
were not as far apart as it might appear at first glance.
Let one of them be in trouble and they gather to a man, quietly , no
noise, but in understanding and ready. Warren told this story, that his
father had told to him.
"Two or three Choates were returning home to Central Texas at the close
of the Civil War. They stopped at the Country Store for some food and
while eating, some other men, also eating their lunch, were telling in
loud voices about a hanging they had done. They said one of the men
they had hanged had been a Choate. The Choate "Kin" continued to eat
quietly. When they were finished they paid their bill and rode off.
The next morning when the community awakened, the men who had told of
the hanging were themselves found hanging from a tree. The Choats were
never seen or heard of again. It was a baffling mystery what had
happened."
Davie Crocket (a Choate) was kiled at the Alamo. David Choate was
killed at the battle of San Jacinto. Monroe Choate drove one of the
first herds to Dodge City. Two of his sons are buried in Boot Hill.
(Maybe one was taken back to Beeville, Texas.)
Grandpa loved the Choats as long as he lived and Grandma always hated
"them ol' Choates" because they drank a little whiskey now and then and
she wanted to keep him away from contamination, but he never stopped
loving the Choates.
I see strains of the same characteristics in Mama. Stronger than in any
of the rest of her brothers and sisters. She knows she is stronger than
any on else, so she is. She knows she is more dignified than anyone
else, so she is. She knows she is more virtuos than anyone else, so she
is. She knows she is more honest, freer from hypocrisy than anyone
else, so she is. She knows she is a lady, so she is. She knows she has
no guile, no deviousness, so she hasn't. She knows she is the tallest
tree in the forrest, so she is. All these things she knows about
herself and "so she is."
I have decided much of this came from Grandpa and the Choates. One of
them could be a hobo on a railroad track, yet in his mind and heart
would be the equal of Kings. and "so he would be." Maybe this doesn't
make sense, but I have sensed this quality in all of us.

Hello List
I found the letter about the Choate personalities very
interesting but was wondering what the connection was
between the Choates and Crockett's. I have found
information about Daniel Boone and the Choates but
have not seen anything involving Davy.
Could someone enlighten me please? Is the family line
through Susan Hawkins?
Have A Beautiful Day!!!
Berlene
