 Family Cemetery Chapman, Brown, Nichols, Quisenberry, Greenwell  located 
near site of Mike Bell's store west of Mangham

Descendants of the Choat family have been searching for the old Choat family 
cemetery and recently Hewlitt Choate and his daughter, Michelle, found  a site 
that was identified by an elderly lady (about 94 years old) as the Choat cemetery.

A nephew of Hewlitt Choate, Mack Taylor then  went in and explored this site. 
His comments are as follows;“I was able to find it last Sunday(September 24, 2006) 
and uncover some names on many of the graves.  I took digital photographs of the 
markers I uncovered.  Even though it probably isn't our Choat family cemetary, our 
finding may help someone else.  I would like to pass this along to the right people.  
The site is completely grown over and has not been tended to in years.   The dates 
are harder to read than I thought they would be.  Someone should go back to the 
site and identify all the graves. My guess is that it is the Chapman cemetery based 
on the names.  There are other graves in this little clump of woods standing out 
in a cotton field.  It is located about 150 yards north of hwy 576 about a quarter
 mile east of hwy 135.  The site has a trampled down wire fence bounding the grave 
yard.  Trees vines and bushes have taken over.

Here are the names I found.
