Abner Peyton Choate Family - Kaufman Co, Texas
I am fron the Choate line of Thomas K, Squire Edward, James Rufus, William Kyle, Mary M.
The above William Kyle Choate was married to Lula A Watson and they had Mary M Choate. W K and Lula divorced and W K married Jamie Huffman.
Lula A Watson was the Daughter of James Monroe Watson and Sarah Felkins. James Monroe Watson was a circuit preacher and lived in the area of Elmo and Cob Switch, Kaufman County, Texas.
The brother of W K Choate, Patrick Choate sent my grandmother quite a bit of information, some of it from Zada Choate Fontaine and some had Donald Choates name on the papers.
James Rufus Choate lived for a time in Elmo, Kaufman County, Texas and while doing research in Kaufman County I ran into these other Choates. I have seen some posting on this line and thought some of this might be of help to you.
I do find it very interesting that there were other Choates in Elmo, Texas that do not fit into my line of Choates, at least not that I can find.
