Searching for descendants of Samuel Champion, b. 1832, England; d. Aug 28,
1869 Calumet, MI. Spouse probably Mary Champion below.

Margaret, age 3, all born in England, living next door to William Champion,
age 25 and Ann. Perhaps William's mother or sister-in-law.
There is a record at Gedis of a Samuel Champion death on Aug 28, 1869 --
Ledger 217, record 216. Perhaps Mary's husband. Death at Calumet at age 37
years 1 month. Cause: inflamation of lungs. Married. Occupation: miner.
Father's name John Champion. Father's residence: England. Mother's name not
recorded. Samuel's birth = 1832 based on age at death.
