Andrew Givens and his son James Hineman Givens moved with their families from Wayne District in Monroe County, Ohio, to Union District in Pleasants County, West Virginia, circa 1872. Does anyone have information about the availability of ferries or riverboats to transport families and their household goods? My e-mail address is rgivens@ma.rr.com. Thank you.
