4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
The parents names, birth date and birth place of Joanna --?-- are unknown. Some authored works and online family trees say that Joanna's maiden name is Joanna Watson. Apparently, there is no extant record with that name.
Joanna --?-- was born in about 1692, probably in Rhode Island.
The most complete Champlin family history with information about this family is by Robert Champlin of Newmarket, Ontario[1]. He provided a computer file of many of the early Champlin families. Some of the information below was compiled on July 17, 2000 by Robert Champlin, and supplied by him for the personal use of the readers.
Joanna --?-- married William Champlin before 1720 and they had children[1], but there are no marriage or birth records for the children in town records:
* William Champlin (born about 1720, perhaps in Charlestown, R.I.)
* Michael Champlin (born about 1723, perhaps in Charlestown, R.I.)
* John Champlin (born about 1727, perhaps in Charlestown, R.I.)
* Elijah Champlin (born about 1730, probably in Westerly, R.I.)
* Dorcas Champlin (born about 1732, probably in Westerly, R.I.)
* Temperance Champlin (born about 1738, probably in South Kingstown, R.I.)
The family resided in Charlestown, Rhode Island until about 1730, when they moved to Westerly, Rhode Island[1]. In 1754, they were in South Kingstown, Rhode Island when William bought land there. In two 1757 deeds where William sold land in South Kingstown, Joanna released her dower rights in the deed[1].
The family moved to Charlestown, Rhode Island, and William bought 244 acres of land there in 1760. He sold half of the land to his son Elijah Champlin in late 1760, and Joanna released her dower rights[2]. In 1762, William sold the remaining half of the land in Charlestown, but Joanna did not sign the deed releasing her dower rights. This implies that she may have died between 1760 and 1762.
There are no death records for Joanna Champlin. There are no known probate records for William or Joanna Champlin, and there are no burial records for them.
