Choate baby raised by Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle Willi
Does anyone know of this Harriet Choat who was raised with the Riddle family? I'm trying to figure out who Grandfather Choat was and Harriet's mothers name.
Harriet was born in Kentucky.Her mother was a part Indian.Her mother could not raise her so her Grandfather gave her to her Aunt Elizabeth Ellen Choat Riddle and Uncle William Riddle to raise.
She married Canady Holmes 18 December 1837 in Wayne Co., KY. They lived on a river boat traveling along the Tennessee River, Mississippi River and Arkansas River, until Canady death and then Harriet moved to Charleston, Township Six, in Franklin Co Ark and then later to Texas to be with family.
Their children were:
Mary Elizabeth. Holmes
Shelby C. Holmes
Jasper Newton Holmes
John C. Holmes
William Holmes
Augustus Burton Holmes
She lived with her youngest son, Hayden Leo from approximately 1877 until her death in 1904.Harriet's grave is located in Jacksboro, Texas (Graves Cemetery)The family she left behind moved west because of the pressure on Indians and having Indians in their family. I believe they ended up in Texas and this is who Harriet moved to be near, but that is just a guess.
I hope this fits in with someone's family.
