Jim Did any of your GIVENS that stopped in Tennessee happen to be in Smith Co, Clay Co or Jackson Co. My son-in-law is a Givens and lives in Smith Co, TN. William Winfield Givens born abt 1867 and married Johanna Williams abt 1888 in Tn, this is as far back as I have gotten so far. Thank you for any help.
