Sherry,
Thanks for the information! These are my Champions. We split lines at
Benjamin Champion brother to William and sons of Benjamin and Elizabeth.
I will look through my stuff and see if I can find any notes I have written
on your John Thomas somewhere. I have some John orphans in my tree. They
are as follows:
John-son of Benjamin b. 1738-1758 Surry Co., VA and Sarah Unknown.
John-son of Jesse d. 1807 Livingston Co., KY and Mary Unknown.
John-son of John E. b. 2/29/1844 d. 3/7/1916 and Isabel Barbee
If I find anything, I'll let you know!
Debbie

This information was taken from Morgan genealogy book entitled Morgans of
Wilcox
Co.
AL and allied families.
I have no connection between John Champion and Elinor McKee or Mary Stewart
and
my John Thomas Champion that was supposedly born 1844 and who married three
times
to Christine Kelly, Laura Doyle and Arena Morgan. John Thomas and Arena
parented
my GGGrandfather William Jessie Champion and my GGrandfather Robert E. Lee
Champion. From William Jessie and Robert E. Lee Champion, I have their
descendants
listed. But, I do not have information on John Thomas's parents.
I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any other info that I
might
need,
please do send.
Thanks, and ~Happy Hunting!~
Sincerely,
Sherry Champion

I am new to the list and wanted to introduce the Champion line that I
am
researching:
Benjamin of Halifax District, Edgecomb Co., NC b. 1738-1758
Jordon b. Halifax Co. abt. 1777 d. abt 1841
Orville b. Dover, Stewart Co., TN 5/25/1809 d. 4/12/1882 Dover, Stewart
Co.,
TN
Willis O. b. Dover, Stewart Co., TN 8/8/1854 d. 5/17/1906 Dover, Stewart
Co., TN
Chester Dare b. 8/22/1881 Stewart Co., TN d. 9/25/1965 Stewart Co., TN
I have reason to believe that Benjamin's father and grandfather were
Benjamin's as well. Then I believe it is Edward II and Edward I. No
confirmation on that, though.
I have quite a bit of information on these Champions as well as their
siblings, children, and spouses. Please contact me, if this is your line.
Thanks!
Debbie Champion
