Hello all, I have been asked by a group of California cemetery preservationists to help locate the burial site(s) of a family named Chote/Choate. The purpose is to identify whether or not the father is buried in an historic cemetery in California. Any help would be appreciated. The surname is Choate, sometimes spelled Chote. The given names are Rufus M., or Rufus Marc, or Rufus A. Choate, John Brown Choate, Sr., John Brown Choate, Jr. and William Silas Choate. -------------- Andrea D.
