Hi,
I'm new to the list, and I'm afraid I'm not very far along on my
Champion's.
Jerome CHAMPION and his wife Betsey E. (1850-1922) appear in the Chemung
Co.,NY censuses from 1870 to 1900 [1870, 1892, 1900 in the Town of
Chemung; 1880 in the Town of Erin], and both are buried in the Chemung
Village Cemetery. All birthplaces on the censuses for Jerome and Betsey
( and their children and parents)are given as NY; Jerome's gravestone
indicates that he was a Civil War veteran (Co. H, 2nd NY H Art).
I would be grateful for any information about Jerome's (and Betsey's)
parents and further ancestry.
Thank you,
Jim Conklin
