Thank you.
Two things wrong there, Joe.
1. That agreement to modify the will is interesting. It was signed in 1837 and among the names is "Nancy Barefoot". As you can see, the first Spurlock child was born in 1832, the next in 1836, etc. So Nancy Choate Barefoot could not have still been a Barefoot in 1837. Unless she and Gilbert Spurlock never married.
2. Gilbert was the SECOND husband. She married first Dillon Barefoot. No one knows when he died. He wandered. He took off, and as the divorce petition (from 1825!!!!) says, he said he was going to South America to fight with the patriots. There is no trace of him after that. My aunts who wrote the Barefoot-Withrow book, and researched the Choates for it, said he came back to TN and that he must have died after 1830 because there was a son named Jasper born about 1829. Well. There's no proof offered about that yet. And my aunts absolutely refused to believe that Nancy might have had a child that was not a Barefoot unless she was still married to a Barefoot. My own opinion is that she had to wait a certain number of years until they could say that Dillon was dead...assuming the legislature didn't grant the divorce, but that in the meantime, she took up with Spurlock.

Hi List,
Does anyone have any information on J. D. and Frank M. Choat who are living in Beat 5, Bell County, Texas in 1860? Living a few homes away is John and Nancy Barefoot.
I believe that J.D. is John Dillon Choate and Frank M. is Frances Marion Choate who are probably cousins?
I am trying to find out who Dorinda Jane Choate connects to. She states that she was born in Texas about 1850 but on all the census records she states she doesn't know where her parents were born. The story goes that Dorinda Jane was orphaned at an early age.
She married James Westbrook in Arkansas abt. 1870. Their daughter, Frances Adeline, was the 2nd wife of Thomas Jefferson Townsend. They married in 1885 in Pike County, Arkansas.
Thomas Jefferson was 1st married to Nancy Cordelia Props/Proops and they had two daughters; Laura E. and Dora Clementine Townsend.
Dora Clementine married Jasper Dillon Choate who was the s/o John Dillon Choate and Nancy Ann Spurlock.
Can anyone help with who Dorinda Jane Choate Westbrook's folks were? With a surname of Choate and being married in Arkansas, she has to connect to someone in the southern Choate line.
Any type of brainstorming is appreciated.
Have a Good One
