I was in contact with a Mrs. Olds several yars ago. She lives in or
near Jacksonville, TX and had written a history of the Champions who went
from Va to NC toKY and TN - I copied her book from on ion the VA state
Library. It includes a lot of the ones who went from NC to AL. AL counties
where Champion records have been found by me so far ar Edgecomb,
Tyrell,Lownes (Blount)Halifax, Cumberland, Chowan, Edgecomb, Bertie (Bute),
Chatham, Old Granville District . Also, several counties in SC.
Franklin Co., TN has an excellent Champion-Deveny collection and family
charts. Willis Champion b 1802 married a Duncan in 1820, their daughter
married a Deveny and the records are in good order. The local history dept
will xerox copies.
Its really hrd to not find Champion records; the problem comes in sorting
them out because there are so many.
