I am searching for any information on Samuel Givens. according to "Cutters Genealogies and Family Portraits of Central NY, Volume 1, page 101 "Samuel Givens, immigrant ancestor, was born in Ireland, and brought up in England. He came to American with his father, when a young boy. His father's name is thought to have been Samuel. He fought in the war of the revolution in 1776, when only 16 years of age, and his father was in the same war. He lived in Orange county, New York, where he married Jane King. He moved to Dryden, Tioga County, New York, in 1804. He had a large grant of land there from the state and this was very likely given for services rendered in the revolutionary war." Six of his eight children were born in Montgomery, NY. Census in 1790 shows him living in Montgomery, County of Ulster. He died in March 1847 and is buried at Green Hills Cemetery in Dryden, NY Any kind of information would be greatly appreciated "Genealogy is the art of irritating the living and confusing the dead!"
