I've been researching early heavyweight champions, and I've been able to find the champion back to John L. Sullivan in 1885. However, I'm at a loss to find earlier champions. Could any of you help me out? Thanks.

1892 onwards is under Marquis of queensbury rules so prior to this date you are looking at Prize Ring. The Cyber Boxing Zone has a lot of information on this subject.
I have a listiing for Prize Ring Championship fights 1719-1889 and a fair number of articles etc on the champions listed. If you email me with some specifics as to what you want I will send what I have to you asap.
Also info on 1889 onwards
quite a lot
