Givens family in Texas and New Mexico
According to family legend my g.g.grandfather Jim Givens moved to Texas with my g.grandfather Jim Givens. We have no record of his mothers name or if and when she died. My g.grandfather was a teamster in Texas and married my g.grandmother Perlina Elizabeth (possibly Warden). They were moving via wagon to New Mexico around 1912 when they met the Crims. My grandmother Mary met and married Frank Crim at this time. She was fourteen years old. Their life was hard but very interesting. They raised Kashmir goats. If anyone can find any more infomation on the Givens, I would greatly appreciate it. G.grandmother Elizabeth(this is what she went by) filed for a land grant in New Mexico about 1915.

I have discovered that my g.g. grandfathers name was Rolley Givens. This is thanks to another researcher and I am so grateful. It really pays to go to everyplace you can find. You never know who may have information that you can use, or that would help someone else.
