I don't know if you have received any help yet; I don't live there, but I have used some textbooks of the histories of Orange County and of Ulster County after locating info at HeritageQuest online that my ancestor was at the Battle of Fort Montgomery on the Hudson River, which happened at the same time your Samuel Givens disappeared. I checked HeritageQuest and Samuel is not listed there, so apparently no one filed later for a widow's or dependent's pension, if he was married. If he lived in the area prior to his death you may be able to find him or his parents in tax lists, patriot's lists, etc in the above mentioned histories at some libraries. Let me know if you want to be put in touch with one, if you are not near one that has them.
