  1. Children of Samuel (and possibly Nana Pushmataha):
    1. Samuel C. Given, Jr. 1783–1856
    2. John Given 1785–1834
    3. George A. Given 1788–1854
    4. Margaret Given 1790–?
    5. Allen Given 1792–1850
    6. James Givens 1795–1846
    7. James Robert Givens 1795–1860

  1. Nana Pushmataha
    • Disputed and unverified oral family tradition states "Samuel married Nona or Nana a daughter of Push(mataha) and a white captive Nona or Nana (aka Nancy) Ransom or Ramsour. A letter written in 1911 is hard to read."[3] The letter written by Susan Evans (Columbus, James, Samuel Givens) dated Oct 9, 1912 to the Society of Mississippi Choctaws, states her great grandfather was Samuel Givens and claims his wife Nana was a daughter of Pushmataha and Nancy Ransom.[4] There are online discussions regarding this issue, but no other sources to prove the claim.[3][5] Nancy Ransom is also sometimes conflated with Immayahoka, the documented wife of Pushmataha. Neither the story that Nancy was kidnapped from her parents home, nor her existence, have been verified.
