The first Choates, in the so-called Southern Choate line, that I have information on is John and Isabel Choate. They resided in Essex Co., England. John was born in 1490 and died after 1532. Isabel was born in 1500 and died after 1532.
They had four children, William born 1520; Margaret born 1524; Robert born 1526; and Christopher born 1530. My family line is descended from Christopher. To the best of my knowledge, he was the first of many in our line to bear this name.
The wife of Christopher is unknown, but he had three children, John born 1556; William born 1558; and Christopher II born 1562. Christopher I died after 1562.
Christopher II had a son, Christopher III born in 1585. Christopher II died after 1585.
Christopher III had a son, Christopher IV born July 13, 1613. Christopher III died after 1615.
Christopher IV married Jane. They had three sons, Edward born 1639; Christopher V born September 4, 1642; and John born about 1644. We are again descended from a Christopher. Christopher IV died in Rivenhall Parish, Essex Co.. England on November 10. 1667.
Christopher Choate V was the first of our line to arrive in America. He emigrated on April 15, 1676, as an indentured servant, to Baltimore Maryland. He had four children Edward born 1689, Christopher VI born 1688, and Augustine. Wife unknown. He died on November 19, 1692, in Baltimore Co., Maryland.
