Judith,
My GGrandfather was John Stephen Champion 1839-1902. He was married twice:
#1 Sara Catherine Schaffer 1851-1872: #2 Angeline Elizabeth Kirkland
1845-1939. I believe John S Champion's parents were: James Franklin
Champion 1815-1881 and Mariah Polly Dorwort/Dorworther/1812-1894. As of the
1850 Census they were living in Union Twp, Jefferson County, PA.
Do any of these names ring a bell with you?
Hope so!

Subject: [CHAMPION] William Champion b. abt 1791 son of James and Elizabeth
Hi List,
William CHAMPION b. abt 1791 probably Beaver Co. PA, d. 1830-1832
Crawford Co. OH, m. Nancy KELLY b. abt 1794 Bedford Co. PA, d. o.
George KELLY
I believe William CHAMPION was the son of James CHAMPION b. abt
1742-1750, d. 1817 Beaver Co. PA, and Elizabeth ? b. abt 1746.
Several children of James and Elizabeth CHAMPION as well as my William
and Nancy CHAMPION moved from Beaver County, PA to Crawford/Richland
County, OH between 1820 and 1830.
Known children of James and Elizabeth CHAMPION:
Edmund CHAMPION b. abt 1768-1833 M. Sarah NEAL (went to KY)
John CHAMPION 1774-1826 m. Mary Margaret HOLTZ (went to OH)
Joseph H. CHAMPION 1775-1845 m. Nancy A. ? ( went to OH)
Elizabeth CHAMPION b. ABT 1783
Thomas CHAMPION b. abt 1785
Isaac CHAMPION b. abt 1786
George CHAMPION b. abt 1790
William CHAMPION b. abt 1791 probably married Nancy KELLY above (went to
OH)
James CHAMPION b. abt 1793
Ann CHAMPION b. abt 1795
Is anyone else on the list researching any of the above persons? These
Champions may have been of Scotch dissent and may have come to PA from
VA.
Any information appreciated.
Judith
