John Champion died 1749 Chowan Co. NC
This John Champion ("Champen") left a will which was recorded in Chowan County, NC (date 10 Oct 1749) and addressed in the April Court, 1751.
His will left bequests of 250 acres of land each to what were apparently the youngest male children of his daughters Martha, Elizabeth, and Sarah, and the same amount of land to daughter Margaret, who was also married but apparently had no son.
At the time of John Champion's death, his wife was named Sarah and she and the oldest daughter's husband are the Executors of the will.
Is anyone familiar with this John Champion?
Does anyone know if Sarah was his second wife as some think, and/or perhaps what was her surname?
He is thought to perhaps have been born ca 1685 in VA, but that is not something that I have been able to verify at this point.
Are they likely to have been Quakers??
Any help would be much appreciated.
