    3. Hello, I posted information a few weeks ago about my Tucker family from Smithfield. Moses Tucker was known to have lived in Smithfield and his son Chauncey Tucker was born there in 1805 (just before it became an organized town). Chauncey's sister, Nancy Tucker, is my 4th Great-grandmother. Just the other day, I found information that Nancy claimed to have Champney ancestors. Low-and-behold, I found a Nathan Champney living in Smithfield. He filed his Rev. War bounty and pension papers in 1820. These papers are digitized and online at Ancestry.com. He was born in 1754 and his wife Polly was born in 1766. There is information on the Internet about this Champney family. I would like to know the names of Nathan and Polly's children. I am wondering if Moses Tucker married one of their girls. Nathan may also have been in the War of 1812 in the 23 infantry (one brief record on Ancestry.com). There was good information about an Ebenezer Champney who was also in the 23 U.S. Infantry. The records say that he was born in Concord, Mass and was 40 or 45 when he enlisted. He was 5'8" with dark eyes and sandy hair. He enlisted on 21 May 1814 at Canandaigua, and R.R. [can someone tell me what that means] at Cazenovia, NY under Capt. J. Ingersoll's Co. Discharged at Sackets Harbor, NY on 1 July 1815 when his term expired. There was a note to "See Pension Case." I have not found that yet. Any one know anything about the Champney family? Thank you for your assistance, Daniela Moneta
