Jacob Champany, NYS; born 1795
According to the Champany family bible, Jacob Champany was "Born 15 Oct 1795" and some sources place his birthplace as Springfield, Otsego, NY.His death is noted as be "30 May 1864" and believed to be at Cedarville, NY.
The family bible states that he married "Elizabeth Bell, born 28 May 1811" (Columbia, Herkimer, NY).The bible further states that they were "Married 11 Oct 1832 by Peter H Warren Esq", and sources place their marriage at Cedarville, NY.
I have located information showing names of "Champion" and "Champney" being married in Cedarville, NY, around 1830 but can not find any specific mention of a Jacob Champany prior to the 1840 census, and would like to determine his parents.
There was a Daniel Champion, who married an "Ruhume Ingersoll" Abt 1782 with a son "Jacob Champion" who appears to have been born about 1795, but no further info appears to have been published.It appears the family settled in Egg Harbor, NJ but I have doubts as to whether this could be the same person as my "Jacob Champany".
I have exhaustively researched the published family histories for "Richard Champney" of Cambridge, MA, descendents of "Henry Champion" of Lyme, CT; as well as French and other spellings but fail to find a connection into Jacob Champany of Otsego, Columbia, or Herkimer County, NY.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
