I have eight generations from Robert Givens (1640) in County Antrim, Ireland to my grandmother, Nancy Caroline Givens Kasling (1866-1952) in Cass County, Texas. I have numerous copies of wills, etc. for Robert Givens descendants starting with his great-grandson, John Givens (ca 1717-1794) up to my 2nd great-grandfather, John Givens (1779-1843). My Givens moved across the Carolinas to Tennessee to Mississippi to Texas. I have copies of letters written between 1843 to 1885, written by the siblings of my great-grandfather, James Wilson Givens (1816-1868) to a half-brother, William Thomas Givens Sr. (1806-1879) in Waverly, Morgan Co., Illinois. Would love to find the person who might have the original letters saved by William Thomas Givens daughters and grand-daughter, Harriet Givens Chilton. Harriet Givens Chilton had the original letters in 1935, but don't know what happened to them after that date. Have had contact with a number of James Wilson Givens (1816-1868) descendants over the past few years. Jim Skelton e-mail: skeltonje@aol.com
