About Priscilla Champion

Not the child of John Creek Moore or the wife of Edward Abbott


Priscilla Moore married Edward Champion.

Together they had the following children:

  1. Benjamin Champion, II;
  2. Edward Champion;
  3. Alice (Champion) Scott;
  4. Priscilla Champion;
  5. Orlande Champion;
  6. Anne (Champion) Judkins.

She died circa 1725 in Corapeake, Gates County, NC, United States.


"A thorough search in all available records in the archives of the Virginia State Library at Richmond failed to produce any sign of a will made by EDWARD CHAMPION, JUNIOR, and it was a fortunate turn of events when our research worker there discovered "in a round about way... what seemed a whole family" of Champions in Isle of Wight deeds and wills. Her discovery was the will of Thomas Moore dated September 28, 1696 in Deed and Will Book II, page 371. In it we found Edward Champion, now referred to as Edward Champion, Senior, and the names of his children as well as the identification of his wife as Priscilla Moore. Because of its importance historically we are entering the will here in its entirety."
