Hello, Richard. I think we might be related. I'm sorry I have to contact you on the message boards but I don't have a subscription and wouldn't be able to do otherwise. This weekend there have been certain free immigration records so I was salvaging all I could including reviewing records I already have. I was reviewing a border crossing record from 1912 where some of my grandmother's family (the Logans) were crossing over to Canada (where they eventually settled). Anyway, I noticed you saved that particular record to an Anna Louise in you family tree and if you are related to her then we too are related. Please contact me at
brandontaschuk@gmail.com
I would really like to share and exchange information with you and I'm sure I have some very interesting information for you about Anna Louise Logan (Ellingson) that nobody in my family (or anyone related to her that I know of) has which I found using the great Family Search Norwegian records. I hope to talk to you soon.

Sincerely, Brandon Taschuk

There was an Elias Fort who married Phillis Champion in 1656. They lived in Isle of Wight, Virginia and had three sons John, Elias II, and George. Hope this helps.

It has been a lot of years since you made this post, but if you are still interested please let me know. I am just starting to research my Champion line, but am familiar with an Addie Champion. Her father was not Don though. I think my Addie may have been born in the Polk County, NC area.

Do you have a William Foster Champion in your list.

Re: Champion's From NC/Va

She may be part of the Rutherford county set. If you don't already know, that's in the NC mountains. I'll keep looking.

Re: Champion's From NC/Va

meg70guy — 2012-02-20 03:47:30Z

When I was doing my family line on ancestory.com, The father of my great grandmother, Amanda Champion was automatically filled in with James as her father. We have been told that our great grandmother was American Indian.

Re: Champion's From NC/Va

meg70guy — 2012-02-19 23:30:09Z

We do not know who her parents were.
She, as far as we know, was born in North Carolina.
Word is that she was American Indian.

Re: Champion's From NC/Va

Re: Searching for Grandfather's family

davidkemp9 — 2011-12-30 05:38:02Z

So much for getting to bed early - but I had to take a quick look at your family tree. Thanks for that and I will link you to mine once I figure out how. At Thanksgiving I questioned my mother about Mary Ellen - was she a Champion or a Hill? I now have a birthdate of 1876 from your tree so she was a Champion which I suspected. I think her father was John Champion b. ca. 1847, not James b. 1840 as you have on your tree - we'll have to work on that detail.

Did you take that picture of Elizabeth Jane Guy Delarye's grave, my great grandmother - wife of Edward Guy? You might not know it but as you stand in the Ishpeming cemetery taking that picture, if you take a few steps backward you will be standing next to an obelisk for George Solomon and his family. George was the brother to Ellen Solomon Champion Hill - he died in Wyoming where he was probably a miner.

More later - Dave

Re: Searching for Grandfather's family

timbers — 2011-12-30 05:27:18Z

Thanks! I'd love to know what Champion names you have. I always knew that the Hill, Champion and Roberts families had links and I'm always interested to learn more!

Re: Searching for Grandfather's family

timbers — 2011-12-30 04:08:26Z

Yes, to the best of my understanding, Ellen Solomon had two separate husbands. I'm happy to grant you access to the tree to help combine our efforts. I'm thrilled to meet you!

She is buried with John Hill in Ishpeming. I am not sure where John Champion is buried. One of the mysteries yet to be answered...

Re: Searching for Grandfather's family

davidkemp9 — 2011-12-30 02:21:15Z

Hi: I would be interested in any Champion names that you have. When I started this thread over a year ago I was trying to establish that John Champion and John Hill were different people - or that for some reason John and Ellen changed their last name to Hill when they moved to Ishpeming. I'm now satisfied that they were two separate husbands of Ellen Solomon - I am the great great grandson of John and Ellen Champion thru their daughter Elizabeth Jane Champion.

If you prefer you can contact me directly at davidkemp9@embarqmail.com

looking forward to hearing from you - David Kemp

Re: Searching for Grandfather's family

dancingdognana — 2011-12-29 22:24:38Z

Hi...I was doing a Hill family search and found your posts.
I am the great granddaughter of John Harris Hill..and Ellen Elizabeth Solomon Champion Hill. A number of years ago, there were some Champion relatives living near me..found quite by accident through a Hill cousin living in Wisc. Anyway..Ellen was definitely married twice.. I do have some of the Champion names..if that is of any interest to you.

Lovina Champion / Jacob Adams

vtravis888 — 2011-10-22 23:25:01Z

I'm looking for info on my ancesters Lovina Champion who lived in Mays Landing, NJ. She was b. Dec 22, 1795 in NJ and d. Jan 1, 1864 and is buried in Mays Landing, NJ at the Westcott Free Burying Ground bet. the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches.

She married Jacob Adams on April 7, 1815 in Gloucester, NJ. I'm also looking his parents. Jacob was b.June 14, 1792 d. Oct 8, 1854 and is buried next to Lovina. I have a document that says he brought a house in Mays Landing (which is now 6035 Ken Scull Avenue) in 1832 from James Pennington so am assuming they were living there at that time. The census lists the house no. as 945 and their neighbors as Cloud on one side and Ayers on the other.

I find one reference to their marriage, with her name listed as Vina and a census record from 1850 and 1860 from Mays Landing but nothing before that. The Walter that's living with them is the illegitimate child of one of their daughters, but we don't know which one. Just know that the father was the mayor of NYC in 1848.

I have tried searching with all different spellings of her name, but her tombstone does say "Lovina"

I have exhausted all avenues trying to find anything else about Lovina and Jacob and am fully exhausted.

Help!!!

lilrdhen1 — 2011-09-28 21:38:37Z

George Hamrick came from Germany in 1731, married Nancy Cook. His son George married Susanna Blanton. Their daughter Rebecca Hamrick married James Bridges. Their daughter Vianna Bridges married Henry Ledbetter.
Their daughter Salena(Saleny) married Robert Champion. Their son John married Lucretia Wylie. Their son Johnie Champion married Fannie Hawse.

The William Champion I am searching for was said to have come over with the Hamricks, and settled on the east side of the Main Broad River, in Cleveland County, NC. Just north of the Sandy Run creek. He married Mollie Hamrick and was buried at his old home place. The Champions came from France but came with the Hamricks in 1730. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a William CHAMPION who left England in late 1908 or first half of 1909, possibly for South Africa.

His year of birth should be about 1882.

He may have been traveling with a partner. I don't know his port of origin, but more likely Southampton or London.

Anyone got a UK-born William CHAMPION of about the right age out in the colonies or states?

I have an ancestor named Cinthia Champion b:1830 SC. It is said her forebearers were Redwine. I think this means her father was Champion her mother a Redwine. I can not find anything on her. She married Henry Lowie/Lowery from NC, their first two sons were born in SC and their other three children born in NC. I feel the Redwines and Champions were from the NC/SC area. Please anyone with any information.

I believe that Wm Jacob (Buck) and wife Sarah moved from Chowan to Granville Co. then to Rutherford County then down to South Carolina. There are tons of people who are researching this line. Try the Family Trees on here and I'm sure you'll find several. My father was from Granville County and Franklin County, NC. I've only been able to trace his line back to his great, great, grandfather. Problems arise when other Champions came down from Virginia later in the 1700's, so I can't do a direct line back to Edward. Hope this helps!!
