Miss Elizabeth SMITH married John CHOATE in 1858 in San Patricio County, Texas. I do not know if this marriage was to John Choate (1818-1869) or to his cousin, John Crockett Choate (1841/42 - 1869).

Miss Catherine A. "Kate" DICKEY married John Choate (both of San Patricio Co., Texas) on 15 May 1865 in Refugio County, Texas. I do not know if this marriage was to John Choate (1818-1869) or to his cousin, John Crockett Choate (1841/42 - 1869).
