Hi everyone!
My Champion is Sybil Champion, b. 18 July 1755 (some sources say 1756),
probably in or near Litchfield Co., CT. I've seen her listed as the
daughter of Daniel and Esther Champion, but haven't been able to confirm
this. She m. Joshua FULLER (s/o Joseph and Zeruviah (HILL) FULLER) abt.
1776. Joshua's family also has ties to Litchfield Co. (specifically Sharon
and Kent); he and Sybil moved to Luzerne Co., PA abt. 1793. He d. 16 May
1815 in Huntsville, PA. They had 7 children: Sylvanus, Lydia, Abraham,
Levinna, Annis, Hannah, and Stephen (who named one of his sons Champion).
Right now, I'm most interested in confirming Sybil's parentage, but I'd be
happy to exchange info with anyone who has suggestions or knows of Champions
in this area about this time.
Cheers,
Rachel
