Here is a link to one of the Jefferson county pages (Champion is in Jefferson county which borders St. Lawrence county to the south). http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/champion.htm Suzanne Wiley is the town historian and I've heard she is very helpful with researchers. The webpage does not list an email address. I'm going to forward this note to the Jefferson county list. If Suzanne sees this or someone lets her know (and if she has an email address) possibly the two of you could connect. I suspect 'snail mail' from Australia would take a while!

My ancestor Isaac Tripp, went to Rossie after the War of 1812 and worked as labourer for George Parish. It seems he later worked on boats on the Great Lakes, family legend having it that he was a boat captain. He moved to Champion, Jefferson County, NY in the mid 1820s and lived there for the rest of his life I have not been able to trace his parents, though it is likely he was born in NY State, perhaps in Saratoga. I am wondering if any of the Tripp researchers have any records of an Isaac Tripp who marries a Jennette Lawson. Jennette's family were Scots who lived in Middleville Ontario, Canada.

Hi Russell Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message. I have found this link and actually visited Champion and met with Suzanne last year and she was very helpful taking us to the Champion cemetery and locating the graves of Isaac and some other family members. The town of Champion has a new historian this year - Lynn Thornton lthorn@earthlink.net. Suzanne continues as Assistant Town Historian.
