Court case (from Paula at Rootsweb Choate List):
JUDITH HOLSTEIN vs DAVID CHOAT
She represents that a certain David Choat has carried off her daughter, wife of Thomas Holms, and the child of said Holmes has also been carried off by said David Choat and her daughter. Said Choat is a man of infamous conduct in other respects, having stolen horses in the Province of Cumberland. She prays that consideration for the mother of a family and order that said Choat desist from having intercourse and all connection with her daughter and that the child of said daughter may be placed under the care and protection of your petitioner.
signed Judith Holstein
In consequence of the above statement, the Constable was ordered to bring David Choat and Mrs. Holmes to the fort and place the child of Mrs. Holmes in the hands of the petitioner.

Isaac was charged for stealing horses in August 1784 in Washington County, Tennessee. "He threw himself on the mercy of the court". Sid Cox said, "But we must remember some things. For eight years the nation had been at war with England. The Choates and other patriots in that part of the country were living amongst many English-sympathizing Americans who would betray them to the enemy if they had a chance. It was a time of lawlessness when the two sides fought each other and appropriated each other's property as enemies. I suspect that our kinsman regarded stealing the horses as evening up the score with some Tory who had done him, or his kinsmen, wrong. History does show that the jjudge who sentenced him to death was a highhanded man much hated by the people of the county and that the jury that tried Isaac recommended leniency. My guess is that the Choates took the Washington County jailhouse apart and sent Isaac off to some of the kinfolks. The Choates had been in Washington and Sullivan Counties for a long time, and very shortly after this they began to sell out and go elsewhere."

"The legatees of the Estate of Thomas Choate deceased produced in court an agreement between them which having been duly proven was ordered to be recorded in the words & figures followinf to wit:
"State of Tennessee, Lawrence County June 24th 1837 whereas Thomas Choat in his lifetime executed his last will & testament and afterwards became dissatisfied with said will and expressed his intention to alter it but did not, owing to his sickness & whereas great difficulties and lawsuits are about to spring up between the heirs & legatees of said estate and which will be wholly ruinous to the heirs & legatees of said estate and in effect make the lawyers & officers of Court the true heirs of said estate, now for the purpose of preventing said result we the rightful heirs do mutually agree that said estate both real and personal shall descend as though Thomas Choat our ancestor had died without a will and that said estate shall be administered on in the same way as if Thomas Choat had died intestate. But in as much as we all know that it always was the wish of our ancestor Thomas Choat to give Edward more than any of us, in consideration thereof we, to wit, James R. Choat & his wife, Prudence, John D. Shoat, James Hollis and his wife, Rhody, Nancy Barefoot and Susannah Choat, nine in all agree to pay Edward fifty dollars each out of our shares, making Edward's share four hundred and fifty dollars more than any of our shares. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands & affixed our seals this 24 day of June 1837"
