Have I posted this already?

Some of you are already familiar with the tombstone of "Harvey Givens".  In my database, he is known as "Joseph Harvel" Givens.  He is the oldest (to my knowledge) of the children born to Robert Givens "Old Bob" and Sarah Rebecca Stewart (brought up by the Allen family?)

"Harvey" was born (to the best of my knowledge) 10 Feb 1832 in Mecklenburg, North Carolina, United States.  He died 24 February 1914 in Millville, Bay County, Florida.  My relation to him comes to me from my mother, Opal (nee'_Givens), daughter of Richard Lud Givens (who lived in and around Niceville, Florida).  

The Creek Indian thing comes in part from the reports that his mother, Sarah ("Sally") Rebecca Stewart [who was raised, in part, by the Allen Family?], was the daughter of a Creek Indian father and/or mother.  Some of the folks (relatives) who live over in Baldwin County Alabama or thereabouts and certainly, the folks/relatives in Bay County, Florida, know more about this than I do!  There are documents, folks!  Join our Facebook Group  and you can explore this family's history with some of the younger folks who have researched this and other family members.  

You may wonder where "Harvey" was buried.  Look it up on Findagrave.com!  Remember, it's "Joseph Harvel Givens"; sometimes  I get it mixed up with my direct line ancestor, John Witherspoon Givens!
