Daniel Champlin (October 3, 1769 – 1832) was a justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court from May 1818 to May 1827.[1]
The North Kingston Bank was chartered in October, 1818, as the “South Kingston Bank, to be located at Little Rest” (now Kingston), but after holding a few meetings there, and being unable to get the capital stock readily taken, that location was abandoned, and the charter in 1819 was amended to the North Kingston Bank, to be located at Wickford, and was that year there established. Daniel Champlin of Exeter (well known as Judge Champlin), was elected president... Champlin was its president from its organization to 1825.[2]
"Daniel Champlin, a well-known and respected Exeter farmer and judge, lived on a large farm in the Yawgoog Valley section of that community".[3]
Champlin "purchased the house as a gift for his son Benjamin Champlin, who was a Major of the 8th Regiment of the Washington County troops of the Rhode Island State Militia. ... Benjamin Champlin died in September 1814 at the age of 25. ... Daniel Champlin re-assumed ownership of this house after his son's tragic death, and eventually sold it, in 1819".[3]
In 1820, Champlin received one vote in the Rhode Island General Assembly in their election of a United States Senator, with the election being won by James DeWolf.[4]
Champlin married Penelope Allen on December 22, 1788.[5][6]
