Catherine (LeMasters) GIVENS
DAUGHTERS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION HONOR GIVENS
Descendants of Catherine (Lemaster) GIVENS gathered June 1 at Emmons Cemetery for a dedication ceremony to honor Givens as a Patriot's Daughter. The dedication was conducted by the Daughters of the American Revolution from the Shawnee Mission Chapter and the Arthur Barrett Chapter in Marysville.
During the ceremony a plaque which stands near Givens grave was unveiled. It reads, "Catherine (Lemaster) Givens, 1799-1885, daughter of a Revolutionary War soldier, placed by the Shawnee Mission Chapter DAR."
Givens was one of 10 daughters of Benjamin Lemaster, a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia. He served as an express rider for Gen. George Washington many times.
Following the war, he lived at Buck's Garden, in Nicholas County, West Virgina, the remainder of his life. He is was born in 1756 and died in 1837. He is buried near Summersville, in Nicholas County, West Virgina.
The LeMaster families were said to have left France to escape the religious wars.
Catherine (LeMaster) GIVENS was born in 1799. She married DAVID GIVENS of Braxton County, Virgina. The Givens family came from Ireland and David served in the WAR OF 1812. David owned land around Sutton, West Virgina, where he and Catherine raised seven daughters and one son. David Given died in 1850.
The Given family along with several other families, took a flatboat along the Elk River to Cincinnati, Ohio. The families sold the boat and took a steamer along the Ohio and Missouri Rivers to Westport Landing, now part of Kansas City. They went on to Olathe, where they lived until after the Civil War.
The Given family and related families then came to Washington county then to the Bond's Mill area. Catherine lived with her family in Charleston Township until her death in 1885 when she was buried in the Emmons cemetery.
