I cant say that I have ever heard of him. I am though very intrested in the Choate family because a lot of my decendants are Choates. I am especially intrested in Two brothers named David and John that supposedly moved to Texas from Louisiana. I have ran across Spanish land grants in David Choates name in Jefefrson county also in John Choates name in Hardin county but have no idea if these two guys are even part of our Choate family. There have been stories down through the years that some of our Choate family did move to Texas for a while or longer. My grandfather was named Sydney Choate my great grandfather was named Holston Choate and my great, great grandfather was named David John Choate and my great, great, great grandfather was John Choate Jr. Needless to say this search has been going on for many, many years in my family. Family members have died and gone away searching for a! ll the answers maybe one day God willing all of the pices will come together. If you think that you may have any infotmation that could help please drop me a line. Thanks, Shannon Duhon
