Susan Walker Riley Info Request

Hello,
I just recently discovered my connection to Susan Walker and John Riley.
I would really love to find out more about these people.I am a member of the La Jolla Band of Mission Indians (Luiseno Tribe - Southern California) and was really surprised to learn about also having Cherokee blood.
I am also looking for evidence of a marriage between Ira Ellis Choate and Margaret Susan Fort (she is the daughter of Spear/Speir Fort and Margaret Susan Titsworth).Family tradition has it that Margaret Susan Fort was also of Native lineage but I am unable to make a connection.
Ira Ellis seems to be an elusive person - I have found Margaret Susan Fort but never as being connected to Ira Ellis. I also have information that he was the brother of George Washington Choate but have been unable to clarify this fact.I have found George Washington Choate on the Dawes Rolls (Cherokee Tribe) - but no Ira Ellis.
I received information from a family member that Ira was the son of Sanders Choate and Susan Riley (daughter of John Riley and Susan Walker).
Can you clarify this information.
Thanks for your time.
Berlene
