    3. Cassandra, Here is what John Simpson Graham said about Choctaw Corner on page 201 in his book, History of Clarke County: Choctaw Corner was one of the old towns of Clarke. It was quite a thriving place before the Civil War, and for some years after the close of the war. When the (now) Southern Railroad came through the county, leaving that place a mile and a half from the road, and Thomasville sprang up, Choctaw Corner disappeared from the map. Hope this answers some of your questions.
