Hi Shawn,
My name is Christina Piburn and Edward Pyburn b. 1775 and Rebecca Neeley b. 1790 are my ggg grandparents, they were m. in 1808 TN. They are not the parents of Naomi Pyburn m. to Austin Choate, Jr. before 1802. Rebecca would have been about 10 when she got pregnant (and not married). I have often wondered if Edward Pyburn, b. 1775 had a wife before Rebecca, but I have not been able to find any information. I do not know who Austin Choate, Jr. married, but I do know there is a family on the internet that has a chart linking Austin Choate, Jr. as being married to his mother, Elizabeth Naomi "Oma" Pyburn (she went by 'Oma' for short) b. 1753, with other spouses.
There was an Elizabeth Naomi Pyburn (Naomi for short) b. 1802 to Jacob Pyburn (b.ca. 1785) and Mary Webb. She lived in Marion Co. Tn. when she married Jessie Beene (several spellings). They were m. ca. 1819
It would be nice to know who came up with the information that Austin Choate, Jr. m. Naomi Pyburn before 1802. I have not been able to find her anywhere before that statement.
Over the years have you figured out your Pyburn/Choate connections? Pyburn's and Choate's and everyone else were going West. Many followed the same trails, but were not related.
Have you been able to prove who was the father of Elizabeth Naomi "Oma" Pyburn, b. 1753? I have no proof that it was Jacob. His brothers John and Benjamin Piborn/Pyburn were around at the same time, same place.
Happy Hunting on your Pyburn and Choate families,
Christina
