Good thing he moved from Halifax County. It's under water now, just like
the rest of us here in eastern North Carolina. I am researching the
Champion family who ended up on Guernsey Island after leaving England. My
luck to date has been subpar, but I'm still hunting. Good luck to you.

Thank you Nancy. I'm in Washington, North Carolina near the coast. We
have had a ton of rain and lots of flooding here, along with numerous
tornados in the eastern part of the state. It looks like the eye of
hurricane Floyd will pass very close to us in the morning. The wind is
beginning to pick up a little bit now.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers as well as everybody else's.

What time period are you looking for Champions in the UP?
In 1821 my ggg grandfather named one of his sons Joel Champion Nutter. I can
trace the middle names of the other sons to family members. I have not found
a connection to "Champion" nor have I found my ggg grandfather's parents.
Joel was born in Livingston Co., NY but spent most of his adult life in
Michigan.
He may be related to other Nutters in the logging business in Maine and
Pennsylvania between 1850-1880. His son Charles b. 1849 in Vinland,
Winnebego co., WI, worked in logging camps and lived for a while near St.
Ignace
Joel named a son Joel Champion Nutter, Jr. b. 1883 (second wife). He went
by Champ and was in the trucking business near Longview, WA.
Still searching for contacts with Champion ancestors from the UP of Michigan.
Worked for mining companies and probably from Cornwall, England.

Hi Again :-)
Here is a little more information on the Ancestry.com free database.

NORTH CAROLINA
http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/northcarolina.htm
This database contains an index to 29,000 marriage records available
from
North Carolina between the years 1850 and 1868, with some records as
early
as 1842, and as late as 1900. The following counties and dates are
included
in this collection:
Ashe, (Marriage Bonds)
Bertie, 1850-1868, (Marriage Certificates)
Catawba, 1842-1900, 1850-1900 includes only A-K, (Marriages)
Currituck, 1851-1867, Book A, (Marriage Bonds)
Davidson, 1827-1867, (Marriage Bonds)
Davie, 1851-1868 (Marriage Bonds and Certificates)
McDowell, 1851-1881, (Marriage Bonds)
Wayne, 1851-1856 (Bride's Index)
Wilkes, 1851-1856 (Bride's Index)
Yadkin, (Marriage Bonds and Certificates)
Most North Carolina marriages were not recorded before 1868. At this
time,
most marriages were performed after banns had been posted three times to
give local residents the opportunity to state any objections to the
upcoming marriage. Many of the records in this database are from
Marriage
Bonds, which were common in the South.
According to "The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy" revised,
edited by Loretto D. Szucs and Sandra H. Luebking, Chapter 4, Research
in
Marriage and Divorce Records, by Johni Cerny and Sandra H. Luebking.
(http://www.ancestry.com/home/source/src70.htm):
"Marriage bonds were not required by all colonies or states but have
been
common in the South. Bonds were posted prior to the issuing of the
required
marriage license in some states and were the sole documents required in
others. Bonds were posted by the groom alone, or with a second person,
usually the father or the brother of the bride, to defray the costs of
litigation in the event the marriage was nullified."
"Bonds were posted in the jurisdiction where the marriage was to take
place, often in the bride's home county. These bonds, the only marriage
records maintained in some jurisdictions, were usually annotated with
the
marriage date after the ceremony. It was rare for a marriage not to take
place within a few days of the posting of the bond, even though many
bonds
do not bear the annotation. Although the missing information could mean
that the marriage did not take place, more often it reflects poor record
keeping or failure of the justice or minister to report the marriage to
local officials."
After 1868 the register of deeds in each county was given the task of
issuing marriage licenses.
Hello All,
I saw this on another mailing list and thought it might prove useful in
our research.
