Hello.. Long story short: Was finally able to make the trip to Ruston for the first time last week and had a chance to take the beautiful drive East of Ruston to the small township of Choudrant. This is where my ancestors were supposedly living in the late 1800s. Not much there and was a bit disapointed that there wasn't more of Choudrant left after its demise. That was nothing compared to the demise of Longstraw which was at one time larger than Choudrant but is now nothing more than a church and cemetery. (the cemetery is quite a peaceful place). My gg-grandfather was John Horatio Sanders b. 1860 who married Jalutia Jane Lindsay b. 1860. John was said to be Mayor AND Sheriff of Choudrant around the turn of the century. Does anyone have any data on Lindsay's or Sanders/Saunders from this area and this era? Jeff jmartin@fairfield.com
