Additional Comments:
Martha Givens Goodwin was the youngest child of Merrit Givens and Nancy Allen 
Givens of Daviess Co., Mo.  You can see further records on this Givens family 
under the Daviess Co., Mo. USgenweb Archives.  Martha was known as Aunt Mat to 
all of her neices and nephews.  They lived in Daviess Co., Mo., and their farm 
bordered the farm of Martha's mother, Nancy Givens.  In 1906, John and Martha, 
along with Martha's brother Isaac Givens and family, went to Oklahoma by buggy 
and wagon to homestead near Kendrick, Oklahoma.  John and Martha lost 3 of 
their sons in the flu epidemic of 1919.  John and Martha returned to Missouri 
several years later and lived in Birmingham, Clay Co., Mo. John and Martha are 
buried at the Minneville Cemetery, Clay Co., Mo.  I have a certified copy of 
this marriage license in my possession.
