It's been awhile since I tossed this out, but since there's been quite a bit of activity lately, here goes--Looking for any information on my ggggrandfather Champion Bailey. I believe he lived in the Wartrace area of Bedford county and the Christiana area of Rutherford county. I try to keep my information in the form of a timeline, so here's what I have: 1810--Champion is on the Rutherford county census with his wife (name unknown) and family. There is also an older man in the household, Champion's father or father-in-law? 1818--Land grant in Rutherford county 1820--Bedford county census 1827--Land deed on Wartrace Fork 1833--Marriage record in Rutherford county to Jane Johnson 1840--Rutherford county census living close to his father-in-law Edward Johnson 1850--Rutherford county census, 74yrs of age I know of one child by his first wife, Martha Bailey who married Martin Hoover. My gggrandmother Clementine Bailey was a daughter by his 2nd wife Jane. She married Samuel Hill and lived in the Noah/Beech Grove area. I have found Champion Bailey as "Champ Bayly" and "Campian Baily." Any tidbit of information would be appreciated. Mary Ann Holder
