After her death, a brigantine ship named the Nancy Givan was built in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia in 183744 which was owned by her husband Bernard L. Kirkpatrick and must have been named thus to commemorate her.
from Acadian Recorder, Sat. Feb 5, 1831:
“married 25 Jan. in Wolfville by Rev. Mr. Clarke: Mr. B. L. Kirkpatirck, Pictou / Ann, only d/o late William Givan”78 It’s unclear why it says “only d/o” since presumably her sister Mary was alive at the time.

Kirkpatrick who departed this life on the 4th day of February 1833 in the 30th year of her age. Distinguished by the virtues which adorn her sex, and by the graces which exalt the Christian”58
