From Ruth Crawley Champion's book, p 14: "Elizabeth
Ingersoll, widow of
Daniel Ingersoll of Great Eggharbor Twp, may have been the
daughter of Thomas
Champion, whose brothers were John, Thomas, and Elias. Daniel Ingersoll
purchased of them 400 acres of land. (The author has been unable to trace this
relationship." Ruth didn't have any name of that Thomas Champion's wife.
She says this Thomas Champion was eldest son of John Champion and Sarah
Williams. He born c1675 in Queens Co LI, d c1731/32 in Gloucester Co. NJ.
"Will, divided among his 3 sons and 1 daughter; one son to care for his wife, but
did not give her name. Deed Book K p 314, 3 May 1733." Ruth says Thomas and
XX were married c1702/03. Their children were
Thomas Champion c1707 ("May have gone to NC; sold land inherited from his
father to
Daniel Ingersoll 3 May 1733);
John Champion c1712 - 1766 m. Elizabeth Boone (my line)
ch Joseph, John Jr , Nathaniel;
Sarah Champion 1710-1740 m. John Townsend. Ch Amy, David, Rachel,
Millicent, Richard;
Elias 1714-1750/51 m. Mary Steelman. Ch Thomas James, Hazediah, Elias.
Family moved from LI to Great Egg Harbor about 1719. "His father had moved
to West Jersey in 1700 and many friends and relatives from Long Island had
settled in the eastern part of Gloucester County."
I'm always eager to learn more about all my folks.
Thanks.
