I am doing some research on the Giveans family. John Giveans who was your gt, gt, gt, gt grandfather was also my gt , gt, gt, gt grandfather.. William D who was the brother of Eliz mentioned in your previous messageboard was my gt,gt,gt, grandfather.. He grew up in Vernon NJ. Wm and his wife Jane Farber Ryerson had 7 children, one of which was Samuel R Giveans born in Oct 1838. He was my great, gt grandfather. and married Harriet Wilkins born 12 22 1842 in Darien Wisc.. They had 4 children, one of which was Bradford William Giveans, a doctor born 11 14 1868 in Allen's Grove, Wisc He was my grandfather and had a practice in East Orange NJ.
More info is available on some of Wm's and Samuel R's siblings such as whom they married and some towns or states they lived in the 1800's. If you or any other Giveans message boarders have any Giveans family ancestry information that might be helpful to me, it will be appreciated. Also, feel free to ask any questions '
