We are just getting back to some earlier research on the Champe family. My husband's grandmother was a Champe, Minnie Florence Champ Joiner, daughter of Porcius Champ(e) and Eliza A. Harless from Craig Healing Springs, VA. Porcius Champ(e) is said to be the son of James Champe and Sarah (Sally Jones). He was born 5 August 1850. James Champe is said to have been the son of George Champe and Jane Eakin. My husband was given a copy of the John Champe book written by Ida MaBelle Judy by Eliza Champe, the young girl pictured in the book.
