Our family records indicate that John Champion (1705-06 NJ to 14 Aug 1765 NJ) married as his second wife a lady named Elizabeth Boone (1706? - 1765 NJ). The marriage was at First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia on May 22, 1740, and we are told that John Champion was disowned by the Quakers for marrying out of unity. His family was at Tuckahoe, NJ. Family tradition says that his parents applauded the marriage despite its lack of approval by the Quakers. My mother's people tie into the line of Nathaniel Champion, s/o John & Elizabeth. John is s/o Thomas Champion Sr (1675-1730). We have no name for his mother. Nor do we have parents for Elizabeth Boone. I don't know whether her Boones are related to the more famous Boones (of which my granddaughter-in-law is a direct descendant). Squire & Sarah Morgan Boone's family had land in Bucks County, whether or not they lived there. I know that the Boones were at least nominally Quaker but had problems with their Friends group at Exeter. Two of Daniel's siblings married out of unity. Sarah Boone married John Willcoxson, a non-Quaker, in 1742, when she was already pregnant. Her brother Israel married a non-Quaker lady named Martha. Brethren tradition says that these Boones were closely associated with the Dunkards (German Baptist Brethren now Church of the Brethren), and I think one of Daniel's brothers became a Brethren pastor. It's easy to find information on Dan'l Boone and his family, perhaps too much information. It is harder to find out about the Boones to whom Elizabeth Boone Champion belonged. I presume there would be information in the records of the Tuckahoe meetings but haven't any idea how to go about looking in those. Can somebody suggest where and how to look? Of course, I'm stuck here in the middle of Missouri. Jan T **************New year...new news. Be the first to know what is making headlines. (http://news.aol.com?ncid=emlcntusnews00000002)

Jan,   I'm a descendant of Squire Boone who married Sarah Morgan through two of their children (Samuel Boone who married Sarah Day and Mary Boone who married William Bryan).  As I understand it, Squire Boone apologized to the Exeter Meeting (Minutes, Book A, Page 33) when his daughter Sarah "married out."   I have seen it stated that when Israel Boone "married out," Squire Boone refused to apologize and moved the family to North Carolina (via a stop in Virginia).   Everything I've read about the Boones seems to indicate they were Baptists in North Carolina although I'm sure it's difficult to generalize for all of them since it was such a large family.   Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for your primary question relative to the Champion-Boone marriage.   However, I will let you know if I happen to run across anything.   Thanks!   David --- On Mon, 1/12/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [Q-R] Boone-Champion and disownment To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Monday, January 12, 2009, 10:25 AM Our family records indicate that John Champion (1705-06 NJ to 14 Aug 1765 NJ) married as his second wife a lady named Elizabeth Boone (1706? - 1765 NJ).
