Judith: I am not sure but you Lucy MIGHT be the daughter of William Champlin & Lucy
Lamb. I have almost no info on this Lucy except that she was born circa 1849 to William
& Lucy and was enumerated with them in the 1850 and 1860 Census at Scio and Willing
(Allegany County) New York. William Champlin was: Jeffrey (1), Christopher (2), William
(3), Michael (4), Asa (5-6), William (7).
You mentioned Lucy and her husband being in Portville in 1920. There were and are many
Champlins in Portville and 95% of them (at least) are from a much different branch of the
family - they descend from Jeffrey (1), William (2-3).
The name Ellery Devere Slingerland sounds so familiar it's maddening, but I don't
see the name in my database.
I have plenty of data on this Lucy's ancestors if this sounds promising to you.
