I have a distant relative who was named Joel Champion Nutter. He was born in
1820 in Livingston Co., NY. All the other siblings have middle names that
came from a grandparent or another relative. I cannot find the tie of
Champion to my Nutter line. They actually carried the name on for several
generations. The last Champ Nutter died in Vancouver, WA about 1960.
Has anyone with a Champion surname found any Nutters in their line? The
settled in New Hampshire in the 1600's. My line moved to western NY by the
War of 1812 and then on to Michigan by 1849.
