Sherry,
I am a descendant from John Champion and his son James W. Champion. I have
been trying to establish a link to Jacob Shadrack Champion. Does the book
you mention show a link.
Thanks,
Robert Champion

Pat,
Jacob Shadrack Champion is my ggggg-grandfather! :-)
There is a multitude of information on Jacob Shadrack Champion.
I have information from a book entitled
"Morgans of Wilcox and Clarke Counties Alabama and Allied Families"
researched and authored by Helen Morgan Akens and Sheldon LeGrande Morgan.
Library of Congress Catalogue Number 94-067187, copyrighted 1994. One of
their "Allied Families" chaptered in the book, is chapter four "The
Champion Family."
The section begins with Jacob's ancestors from the mid-1600's.
Too much information to include here. Here is an exerpt from this book
that first speaks of Jacob.
"Jacob Shadrack Champion, son of William and Tabitha (Green)Champion, was
born 1750 in Kershaw Co., SC, and married 1776 in Kershaw Co., SC, Ann
Martin. Jacob Shadrack died 12 Jun 1832 in Camden Dist, SC. Ann died
1832 in Kershaw Co., SC." Three and a half pages of information,
including the will of Jacob, follows this entry. The chapter carries on
with his and Anne's children and so on.
Perhaps you can locate this book at your local library. I will be happy
to scan the paperwork I have and send it to you, but at the moment I am
remote, on vacation, and will not return home until Tuesday, March 28. I
have my genealogy information with me, if there is a specific question you
have, I can find it for you if you'd like. I will be checking my email
daily.
Sincerely,
Sherry Champion
