Hi Sarah, Yes, indeed. The Titus' migrated to Whiteside Illinois, then on to Iowa. Settling in Grundy County, Iowa. My great grandmother was the youngest child of Sarah Beatty Cooper and Thomas Titus. My G grandmother was adopted by her eldest half sister, Sarah Cooper, daughter of Sarah Beatty and Jacob Cooper. James and Penelope Beatty also migrated to Iowa at some point, and are found in 1870 living with Sarah Cooper and her husband John King. Although they are listed in the census records as James and Penelope Battie. It was their presence in Sarah King's household that gave my cousin and fellow researcher and I the original clue that led us to the Beatty branch of the family.
