After some searching, I think I have found that your Edith/Adikah Champion married her cousin, Thomas J. Robertson on 1/5/1859, as Edith's mother was Catherine Robertson from Livingston County, Kentucky (daughter of Asa Robertson and Nancy Chisolm) who married William Champion in Hardeman County, TN in November, 1826.

I further believe that the reason why Catherine and her daughters, Edith and Jane were living in Tippah County, MS near my GGG-Grandfather, James M. Champion, is that Catherine's husband, William Champion must have died or left the household prior to 1840, when Catherine shows up on the census by herselffor the first time.
