Hi; My Grandmother grew up in Bashi, very near Chotaw Corner. Her ancestors where about the first settlers in the area. I really don't know much about Chotaw Corner but have been to the cemetery there where my Great Aunt and Uncle are buried. I do know that a cousin of one of my Great something Grandfather lived in Chotaw Corner during the Civil War. Amanda K.
