CHAMPENOIS
Champenois is a dialect of NE France, from the Champagne region, East and Southeast of Paris and the Isle de Franc, North of burgundy and Southwest of Lorraine. [The American College Dictionary]
Champenois is used on sparkling wine bottles as "made by the Champenois Process", in France and in the United States.

Niort was one of the fortified towns of the Hugenots and the home of many refugees. It is situated in the southern part of the province of Poitou, about 40 miles east of La Rochelle, which was then its seaport. Among those who were persecuted were several members of the Champenois family, one of them being Jacques Champenois, who is spoken of as"Le plus riche negociant de Niort" (The very rich merchant of Niort). [DVT]
"In Niort the Dragoons performed some of their worst deeds as early as 1681 (under Louis XIV). From Niort, itself, came Marie Tebauux, Andre Foacault, the first French schoolmaster in the City of NY, David Pougnin, Rene Gilbert, Jean Coulon, the Champenois family, who had been wealthy merchants and the Morin family (or Morine)." [FCSE]
"In the southern part of central Poitou, there is a cluster of towns and villages, east and north of the town of Niort, where many of our Huguenot families, transplanted to America, had their origin. Most of these localities are now so insignificant, as to find no place upon ordinary maps. But none of them were too obscure to be visited by the troops of louis XIV., under the direction of the infamous Marillac, in the course of the spring and summer of the year 1681: and it is probable that this little district witnessed, at that period, as much of concetrated cruelty and misery, as did any other part of France. The soldiers did not leave one parish to go to another, so long as a single Protestant remained, to be either converted or ruined. Houses were pillaged, women were insulted and tortured, men were beaten: and when driven or dragged to the churches, those who could be persuaded to kneel before the priest, or place their hands upon the Gospel, were reported as converts. Multitudes of the wretched villagers might be seen flying from their homes, toward la Rochelle, or some other place of fancied security; or gathered in groups along the coast, waiting for some means of escape by sea."
"Niort, long one of the fortified towns of the Hugenots, was the home of many of the fugitives. Of those who reached America, we have the names of marie Tebaux, Andre Foucault, David Pougnin, Rene Gilbert, Jean Coulon, Daniel Champenois, Pierre Reverdy and Samuel and Moise, sons of Jean Morin, or Morine. [9519, 9520]

Poitou is a provence of France, south of Anjou, on the Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Coast). Niort is a small town, east of La Rochelle, which is its port. They are connected by railroad. Niort lies approximately between Nantes (Anjou) and Bordeaux.
Mathieu CHAMPENOIS, b. ca. 1545-1555 (?), Reformed Minister
Andres CHAMPENOIS, b. ca. 1600 (?), Church Elder in 1650.
"Andre Champanois from Niort .. was a very influential merchant of the village and an elder of the church in 1650." "Andre Jr, and his father, Andre, Sr., already influential members of the church in 1655." ... "The family were strongly militant in the resistance and were imprisoned about 1681-2."
"A Lady Champanois is mentioned in a register of the Consistory as early as 1629 and a Mathieu Champanois was a pastor at Vandore (between Moncoutant and the Forest of Saire) in 1598, 1620 and is without doubt the same Champanois who assisted in August, 1576 at the Synod Prov. of Saint Maxient."
[Pasteur Rivierre to Glenna See Hill, 1976]
A. Andres, Jr. CHAMPENOIS, b. ca. 1620-1635. [Possibly the father of Daniel.]
1. Daniel CHAMPENOIS, b. ca. 1650-1670, prob Niort, Poitou, France. Listed among the Huguenot refuges from Niort in the province of Poitou 1681-6. [Probably the father of Daniel (# 11.).
11. Daniel CHAMPENOIS, b. ca. 1690, poss Niort, Poitou, France; m1. Johanna _____, m2. Marguerite [Bayeux (?)]. He emigrated from London with the Palatines in 1710 and probably lived at East Camp with his first wife. They had several children, all of whom presumably died. He apparently came down to NYC, married again and had a son, Thomas in 1725, at which time he lived in New Rochelle (from 1723). He later moved to the Manor of Philipsburg as a tennant farmer and joined the Manor Church (the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow) in 1743. [Jones] One estimate gave the number of tenants on the manor in 1775 as 270.
The Champenois family is commemorated by a bronze tablet, known as the Huguenot Memorial Stone, which was erected in Hudson Park, in New Rochelle, New York. The tablet lists the names of 131 French Huguenot families who were the earliest settlers of new Rochelle (before 1750). Some of the other names which have survived in history include: Allaire, Bayeux, Fanueil, Giraud, Lespenard, Mott, Moulinars, Petit, Pintard, and Requa. [HSNR]
The earliest notice found of the Champenois in this section of the country (Phillipsburg, New York) is in 1741 when Thomas Champenois acted as a sponsor at the Old Dutch Church. On June 13, 1742 his father, Daniel Champenois and his wife Margaret were duly admitted as members of that church, and on Sept. 2, 1742, the ear mark of Daniel Champenois was re-corded in our old town book. It reads: Danneyel Samppewa his ear mark is crap on left eer and ---- in the reit eer". [DVT]
He and his wife, Marguerite were members of the French Church in NYC in 1725. Daniel was in New Rochelle as early as 1723. He was a member of the Calvinist Church congregation of New Rochelle under Pastor Moulinars in 1726. [HSNR]

It is not supported by any other information that Dianile (# 11.) had a son Daniel, but this may explain some other questions, e.g. discrepancies in the stories of William who went to MI. Some of the children listed below may be the children of Thomas (# 116.).]

On Committee of Safety in 1777, and was taken prisoner by the British, Nov 18, 1777, and confined in Provost jail in New York. When he was relased or exchanged is not known. Some time after 1791 he moved to New York City.
The Champenois were thrifty farmers and prospered. In 1775 when a census of the slaves of Westchester County was taken, it showed that Thomas Champenois owned two slaves, Tom and Fillis. At the election in April 1760, Thomas Champenois was elected as constable and collector of Philipsburg. I believe the following also refers to him although the age is not correct. This is not an unusual thing. I have found many of the ages of persons who enlisted in the French War from this locality to be wrong when compared with church and tombstone records. "Enlisted April 23, 1760 in Capt. Gilchrist's Westchester County company, Thomas Champenois -French, A cordwainer, height - 5 feet 10 inches, light eyed, dark hair (really blue eyed), (Brown haired). When the Revolutionary War broke out he exposed the American cause and was a member of the Committee of Safety of West-chester Co. for the year 1770. On October 2, 1777 while a committeeman he was made a prisoner and comitted to the Provost Jail, New York City. He was a soldier in Col. Hammond's Westchester Co. Regiment, once in Capt. Martlings Co. and at another time in Capt. Requas Co. On January 29, 1779 the residents of this section presented a petition to the legislature of the State which graphically shows their sad condition at that early period. It recits that they have risked "all our properties in the Glorious contest". Then follows a terrible picture of wanton waste and destruction of property and plundering of stock. The petitioners then asked for compensation and for re-fusal to purchase the farms which they occupied as unimproved land. They or their ancestors having made all of the improvements. Among those who signed the petition was Thomas Champenois. He also signed the petition to the legislature dated Crompound - March 15, 1782 asking the suspension of sale of condemed lands. Before this time the signers had been compelled to leave their homes and were still living in the upper part of the County. He also signed the petition to the Legislature dated July 30, 1784. At this date the people had returned to their leased farms, which were in a dilapidated condition. They then asked that the lands be sold, and that in purchasing they should have credit for moneys due from the State as well as from the U.S. When shortly after the lands were sold by the Commissioners of Forfeitures, Thomas Champenois bought the farm (156) acres upon which his father had lived during his life and which had continued to be his home. He paid the Commissioners of Forfeitures 390 pounds for it. Its bound-eries were "N. by Jno. Griffin and highway, E. and S. by highway, W. by Lewis Kniffin, as now possesed Thomas Champenois". The road at the South led to Wrights (Robbins) Mills. The land was near the Bronx. In 1795 he wold it to Evert Brown and moved to New York City, where he died in 1799. His will is recorded in that City - [DVT]
Thomas Champenois purchased the 156 acres which he had farmed as a tenant for £390, on december 6, 1785. The lands of Philipsburgh Manor had been confiscated from Frederick Philipse, the 3rd and last lord of the Manor. He had been a member of the NY Assembly 1750-1775 and was favoring the British. He was jailed in Connecticut for 6 months by the Patriots. When he was released, he fled to behind the British lines in occupied NYC, to rejoin his family. The Manor was sold in 311 conveyances, 291 of them on record in the Office of the Register, White Plains. The sale yielded £220,119 (?) for 92,160 acres in NYC, Yonkers, Greenburg, Mt. Pleasant and Ossining. Most of the sales went to former tenants. Many of them were well to do, but many also assumed mortages. [97] Map showing Champenois property - Town of Mt. Pleasant, Westchester County, NY, pre-1783, Map # G100 (WCHSL).

"When the Youngs House was raided on Christmas night, 1778, John Champenois, a Tory prisoner, was sitting before the fire in custody of a negro whom Caleb Paulding had employed to guard him. Champenois, it is said, had been plundering the patriots to such an extent that the party which under the command of Capt. Daniel Williams had been down to Morrisiania the night before had been gotten up in large part to capture him, in which it had succeeded. He had boasted that Bearmore would come to the rescue of himself and his fellow prisoners, and at the first noise outside exclaimed, "The major has come!" He was killed by a British bullet in the rescue attempt.
Daniel Van Tassel gives a slightly different story, "John was the only member of the Champenois family to side with the British. He early joined Bearmore's Corps. and was one of the prisoners captured by Capt. Daniel Williams in his attack on Morrissina, Dec. 1778. He was killed while struggling with his guard, by a bullet that pierced his heart." His estates were confiscated as Tory property.
