Marilyn,
My GG Grandfather was called Watachee, I assume as his Idian name. At least that is the story I am getting form some of my family. His american name was John CHOATE. He was of Cherokee descent. But my family is from TN as far as I have been able to determine. Maybe came from NC as it was said that Watachee's father (Name unknown) ran away from the trail of tears and married near Nashville, TN. I am not getting to far with this research. I hope this will help you in some way. If so please do not hesitate to contact me further. Good Luck!! Pamn
