I have a John Champion, buut he was born About 1849, in I think April. The
census was taken in Oct. of 1850 and he was six mo. old. But His parents
were William Frank Champion and Mary Gannoe or Gannon. They were in Fairview
Township, Butler Co., PA. His siblings were Henry A. and William Frank Jr.
William came to the states in 1839 from Germany. Though he was French, his
grandfather was Pierre Champion, a French Huegonaut, who escaped from France
in the ealy 1700's. They lived in Keltze, Germany until 1750 and then moved
to Kertchganden. Through all of this they remained French speaking. If any
of this sounds familiar I can send more.
Regards,
Rhonda

My Champion Family is also PA. My GGrandfather was John S Champion
(1839-1902) . He was married twice: Sarah C Schaffer (she drowned in
1872)
and then Angeline Elizabeth Kirkland (1854-1939). John S
Champion's
parents
were James Franklin Champion (1815-1881) and Mariah (Polly) Dorworth
1812-1894) The 1850 Census has them in Heath Twp. Jefferson County PA .
Do any of these names show up in your research?
