I am searching for Thomas and John Champion (probably brothers, perhaps uncle and nephew or cousins) whom we believe were in Berkeley Co or thereabouts before they made the l790 census in Mercer Co KY. I wonder if someone could view the original marriage record of an "Ann Cannon" to a "Thomas Cumpsion" which I believe could well be CHampion in Berkeley Co on 15 Oct l788. I have looked long and hard at the 29 Sept 1777 Berkeley Co will of Joseph Champion (wife Rosannah_______), brothers John, James, and Thomas Champion. Also mentioned are Edward Rawlings, son of Stephen Rawlings; Ruth Stephenson, daughter of Richard Stephenson. The will was executed 21 April l778. Witnesses of the will were George Jenkins, Robert Dunn, and John Champion An Edmund Champion is the bondsman to the marriage of Elizabeth Davis to Daniel Gilland in Berkeley Co, VA, bond 23 Sept l797; marriage 26 Sept l797. Edmond Champion turns up on the l6 August l800 Bullitt Co KY Tax list. Edmund Champion in Mercer Co, KY, on l0 May l805, marries Sarah Nield/Neald "of PA". Her guardian is Augustine Passamore. My cousins and I have tried to connect these dots, but proof we do not have. Do any of these names or dates ring any bells with anyone in Berkeley CO? The Champions and Cannons seem to be connected with the family names of Davis and Mankin. Edward and Mary __________ Davis live next to the families of John and Thomas Champion, and by l800 have loaned them money to buy land next to them in Washington CO, KY. Thomas and "Nancy" Cannon Champion name two sons DAVIS and MANKIN. We find that MANKIN name very odd, but it would be carried along two more generations. Does that name connect to anyone in Berkeley CO? We would most appreciate any help and would be glad to trade information or further your research in KY. Sincerely, Jane Champion Norman
