David Given the ancestor of all of that name in the Brunswick, Topsham & Harpswell vicinity, came to Maine from Coleraine, County of Londonderry, Ireland, with his wife and three sons. In 1719 he settled at Mere (spelled Mair) Point, near Brunswick, Me. In 1730 he applied to the Pejepscot Proprietors for land on the Maquoit Road, near Brunswick, Me., and also for land for his son, David Given, and for his sons-in-law, Samuel Clapp and James Campbell. In this petition David Given, Senior, spelled his name as Giveen, but many of the descendants spell it Given. The Pejepscot Papers state that Ancestor David Giveen in 1735 purchased 300 acres of land extending from Middle Bay to the Town Common where a stone marked G on three sides may be found. This land extended from Pennell land to the Old Gurnet Road. This land was purchased for $48.00, he soon moved there. The houses (Prince and Cushing houses taken over by the U.S. Navy) were later Given houses. He settled first near the shore, building four cabins, whose foundations and some logs were still visible in 1884 by Dyer family who bought some of the land at that time. Also visible were two dams in the salt water creek used for shipbuilding purposes. He was the owner of "considerable estates," and was held in high esteem by the pioneer settlers of Brunswick, Me., and was Deacon of the old Presbyterian Church there. The name of his wife is unknown. This is true of the date of his death and that his wife, as many of the old Giveen Records were destroyed in a fire in one of the old homesteads. Deacon David Given (Presbyterian) (Family Bible) was born 1690 and died June 16, 1763, aged 78 years. His wife Mrs. Mary Given died Feb. 3, 1741, aged 66 years.
It is the opinion of many of the descendants of Ancestor David Giveen that he came to America in Temple's celebrated Scotch Irish Colony. He surely was of the same sturdy and God-fearing character as the others of the Temple Colony among whom he lived at Brunswick, Me.

Theodore was the youngest of the brothers, and seems to have worked out
the usual apprenticeship on the farm. Like several of his brothers, he also
served in his turn as a school-teacher, and later we find him employed as a
watchman at Lowell, Mass. He went west about 1853. He is understood to have
accumulated a comfortable stock of this world's goods. October 24, 1872, he
fell four feet from a load of straw, injuring himself internally, and died ten
days later, on November 3, 1872.
