From Bruce E. Logan - Ohio.
"Ellora Hinton in her 'My Best Recollections' recalls the tragic kidnapping of Mary by Jim Oakley, who carried her off to Missouri, where he beat her, abused her, and tried to kill her. She would have been about 17 or 18 at the time."
"In other versions, it was a Lucas (first or last name, couldn't recall), and she had sprung willingly up on the horse, more of an elopement than a kidnapping. Of Course, parts of both stories could be true, but evidently she was returned or escaped and never married, dying quite young."

Page 3 of letter to Larry Gordon, Albuquerque, NM, Jan. 28, 1978:
Rufus Choate, grandson of Thomas Kyle Choate, in letter from Elmo, Kaufman County, TX, December 19, 1904:
"Champion Choate was first cousin to Father. He had several brothers, Stokly, Edward, Moses and John. Edward had a son named William. John had a son that was a doctor. His name was Aut (Augustine). I think William choate had a son named Tine.

In the same letter, J. Rufus Choate said that his great-grandfather was Thomas Choate, killed by Tories at Fort Dinwiddie. He named the following children of that Thomas: Christopher, David, Tine (Valentine), Edward, Thomas (Kyle).

In another letter dated Jan. 6, 1906, J. Rufus Choate says, 'I can sware that Edward Choate was a brother to John (Hawkins) Choate, the father of Dr. Augustine Choate.'

Mrs. Caroline Harrison Choate, writing from Lavada, Texas, January 3, 1905, (she was the wife of Dr. Augustine Martin Choate referred to above) her father-in-law, John Hawkins Choate, had a brother Ned (Edward), a sister, Sallie (probably Sarah) who married a Goble, a sister Jane who married a Willis, and a sister Naomi who married a Pierce."
