Samuel Given Jr. always at Topsham, Me. except 2 years in California and a few years in Bath, Maine. When a young man he learned the blacksmith's trade at the Duncan & Davenport Foundry, Bath, Me. Worked in that factory 30 years under 3 different firms. About 30 years before his death removed to Topsham, Me., farm where he was born, and which had been owned in the family for 4 generations. Highly esteemed by all who knew him.
Samuel was in the gold rush in California of 1849. Ellen Given had two $20 gold pieces he had mad from his diggings. Mike L Prest of 68 Highview St. Fitchburg MA. 01420 last saw them in 1976, Larry Crowely saw them at that time also.
The date on there marriage was found in the Topsham town records as 29 Sep 1859 as being indented to marry. I found in a book that they were married 29 Sep 1845.
I need to check on his birth date because I have it as 12 and the book I got
the information from has it as 9.

In 1775 the outbreak of the revolution found James's sons Abraham and
Jonathan married and living on the home place, and James married and living
probably about half a mile away toward the village. When the alarm following
the battle of Lexington reached Hampton, Abraham and Jonathan were in the
field plowing. They ran and got their guns and started with the Hampton
company for Boston, leaving the oxen for the women to unyoke. This is the
story Jonathan's daughter Nancy used to tell it within our memory. At Ipswich,
Mass., an order met them to return home, probably that they might defend the
coast defense. The men of Hampton were so generally engaged in this service
that few of them, according to the Hampton historian, were present at the
battle of Bunker Hill. Nevertheless, the family tradition is too strong to
admit of doubt, that Jonathan and Abraham were Revolutionary soldiers. The
next year the three brothers signed the Association Test, together with
fourteen other Towles, nine Marstons, twenty-one Moultons and one hundred
twenty-seven other Hampton men. This information was taken from the book
titled Descendants of Jonathan Towle 1747 - 1882.
James and Keziah lived on the road to Portsmouth, New Hampshire near North
Hampton line, on the place marked "A.B. Towle" in the Atlas. He was a
selectman in 1752. The building originally a log house of one room, was
subsequently enlarged by being built into the more commodious residence
afterwards erected. The raising of the grade of the street for an overhead
bridge to cross the railway ruined the property and the house was finally torn
down, when the original logs were found to be a part of the structure. The
property remained in the family, and until recently was occupied by his
great-grandson Olive Towle. The latter is still living in Hampton, New
Hampshire at the advance age of 80 years. He is the son of James Towle,
grandson of Abraham Perkins Towle, and grandnephew of Jonathan Towle.
The families of James and his sons are known to have been connected to the
church, for the children were baptized.
NOTE: All the above information was taken from the book: Descendants of
Jonathan Towle 1747 - 1822.
