Notes

Choates of the South, 1983, Irene Choate Williams, page 9 -- "There is no marriage document. However, Flora Hawkins is the right age (b. 2 Aug 1695), lived in the area (birth and Baptism, 25 Sep 1968, recorded at St James Parish in the Maryland, Births and Christenings Index 1692-1911), and her father's name was Augustine. St. James Parish included the Herring Creek Hundred and part of the West River Hundred (i.e., the southern part of Anne Arundel Co). Naming Pattern studies have shown that in 1720-1740 first born sons were named after a grandfather more than 50% and the father 35% of the time. Christopher and Flora named their first son Augustine."

Choates of the South Newletter #17 by Irene Choate Williams provides information about the "Hawkins & Choate Connection" and the logic for assuming Flora Hawkins is the wife of Christopher.
