Parthenia Hawkins Anderson Champion

Parthenia Hawkins Anderson was born in 1817 in Perry Country, Tennessee
She married James M. Champion on October 2, 1833 at the age of 16 and moved with him to Salem, Mississippi.
She had between 8 and 12 children and lived to the age of 62.
Parthenia died in 1879 in Salem, Mississippi

One of her sons, James Greeley Champion was my great great grandfather.

When I started researching her on Ancestry.com, I found at least 24 family trees with her on them. Wouldn't it be fascinating to know how many people claimed this one woman as their ancestor.
