He fought at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 and remained closely aligned with Andrew Jackson for the rest of his life. Part of a circle of interrelated Natchez nabobs who lived in Adams County, Mississippi, Chotard owned mansions and plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana, and as of 1860, he enslaved 274 people.
