Titus Family

What a wonderful website - thank you!
I believe I'm a descendant of Hannah Titus (b.1701), who descended from three John's in a row: father John (1678-1732 Rehoboth) > grandfather John Titus (1650-1697 Rehoboth) > great grandparents John Titus and Hannah Carpenter. As I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, most of my research to date has been done via internet. So finding your website was a highlight in my research of my Titus and Carpenter lines.

I may have a 2nd Titus line, but have hit a brick wall. My 2x great grandmother was born Phebe Titus Dean, born in Cornwall, Orange, New York 1812. Her parents were Daniel Dean and Abigail Carpenter, both devout Quakers. Abigail was descended from Joseph Carpenter of Oyster Bay and his wife Hannah Carpenter, daughter of the Rehoboth William Carpenter, thereby giving me descent from both William Carpenters.

But, I've been unable to find Daniel Dean's paternal grandmother. I know her Christian name was Sarah, and she married Daniel Dean, son of Jedediah Dean of New Jersey. I believe that Daniel Dean sr married into a Quaker family, as did his brother, Jonathan Dean. Because of the middle name, "Titus", I've been trying to find a Sarah Titus who married a Daniel Dean, and moved from New Jersey to New York in the mid-late 1700s. Of course the "Titus" might just have been because the Deans, Carpenters and Titus families all belonged to the Society of Friends, and seem to have moved west to Michigan at about the same time, early to mid 1800s.

I'd love to correspond with any/all Titus, Carpenter and Dean cousins! My email is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

So far, I've only searched under the name Titus. At times the job of indexing can be very difficult and some of the enumerators could be somewhat sloppy with their writing skills.
For instance, the capital letters T and F can be confused, so that the surname often comes out as Fitus. I know that there have been many such instances in the 1940 census, but I haven't yet worked on them or listed them.

Thank you so much for all the time you have spent doing all this work, and also to all those who send you additional information.

My aunt (neé) Titus started looking into family lines with great gusto, and fizzled out when it got more difficult. However, she did find the Titus crest. I suddenly want to dig up that sad file and see if she managed to connect us Nova Scotian Titus to a better recorded line. It's poorly organized, shallowly researched, and dry as bones.

In the mean time I will list the little I know.

Ugene Titus married my grandma Mary Madeline (neé) Douchette. They had 10 children and many still births and miscarriages. My mother is one of those 10. Tempted to list of my aunts and uncles, but I'll respect their privacy.

It's very little info. But it's what I have.

My mother was Vera Greiner Titus. Born June 6, 1918 - Died March 28, 2008.

My father's name was Robert Louis Titus. Born October 27, 1915 and Died October 11, 2007.

They lived in Erie Pa. for most of their lives. Only in the last 5 years of their lives did they move to Murfreesboro, Tn. where they died and have a grave.

I live in Tullahoma, Tn. with my wife Linda Hertwig . I have two son's Shane, and Kurt. Neither one has any children. I am 70 years old and my wife is 65. I believe I am of the Robert Titus clan who came to America in 1635. I am a retired Model Maker. My wife is a retired Day Care Owner.

Hello, my Titus side is from New Brunswick. My Father's name is Vernon Allen Titus and he is the son of Constance Reid and Vernon Leman Titus. I don't know anything else about that branch. I was hoping someone could fill me in. Thanks! This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Margie Titus is or was not her daughter. False info.

I'm a decendant of John Titus & Elizabeth Marshall.They were my ggggrandparents. Their daughter Margaret Ann Titus married Andrew Bates McIntosh.Margaret & Andrew's daughter, Adaliza Albina McIntosh married an Irish immigrant, John Foy. John & Elizabeth are buried in a small cemetery near my home. I would like to hear from other members of this branch of the family.

I am the grandson of Edith Fish, daughter of John DeField Fish and Janet Ann (Titus) Fish. Edith was born 7 Dec 1870 in Otterville, Ontario.

Would love to hear from any others which may have info and/or are connected to this line.

Titus Syrachs DeVries is my 9th Great Grandfather. I was so excited to find your website. Bravo on all your hard work! It looks amazing. I have found most of my Titus's. Now I have to work on the Buck's relted to them.

Thank you!

This is my first attempt at research. My greatgrandfather was Lawrence Parker Titus. I believe he was born in Easton. PA. He was a conductor on the Jersey Central RailRoad. My grandfather was Russell Parker Titus Sr who came from Easton, PA to Philadelphia, married Ann Elizabeth Wade around 1910. Their son Russell Parker Titus Jr was my father. They moved to Lynbrook, NY when my father was a toddler.

Could someone point me to the correct Titus line to explore?

Thank you so uch,
