My third great-grandfather is Edward Titus born in 1826 and died in 1878 (buried in Lambertville). He was married to Sarah P. (I believe Akers). Census information is as follows: According to the 1850 United States Federal Census for Lambertville, Hunterdon County, New Jersey...Edward Titus is the head of his home. He is a 24 year old white male. He is a carpenter. Edward is married to Sarah who is a 22 year old white female. Also living in the home with Edward and Sarah Titus is Mary Elizabeth Akers who is an 18 year old white female. All were born in New Jersey. According to the 1860 United States Federal Census for East Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey....Edward Titus is the head of his home. He is a 34 year old white male. He is a carpenter. He sets the value of his Personal Estate at $200. He does not set a value for any Real Estate. Edward is married to Sarah who is a 27 year old white female. Edward and Sarah have two children. They are: Amanda age 9 and Sarah E. age 7/12. I can't find him anywhere else and would love to go back. Is this Edward Titus in anyone's tree? Any suggestions as to how to find him? (family names: Wyckoff, Schenck, Cowdrick, Holcombe, Titus) Thanks for any help.

Can't find anything on the census record but then in 1840 you only have head of household listed. Knowing his father's first name would help. Do you have his record of death? If not, that should be available at the NJ State Archives. That might give you his Dad's first name and you may be able to locate someone in the same area having a 14 year old son in 1840. It wouldn't be a definite but would give you an area to search.

Hi, I have no information on Edward and Elizabeth Titus---however, the Mary Elizabeth Akers who was living with them is almost certainly the daughter of Uriah Akers and Elizabeth Clossen (Clawson). She later married an Edward P. Leonard and lived in Lambertville. I do believe that the the Titus, Akers and Wilson families, and definitely the Holcomb(e) family were all connected, but I do not believe that Sarah was a sister to Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth did have a sister Sarah Catherine Akers, who was my great-grandmother. In 1850, she was living in Lambertville, in the home of George B. Holcomb and his wife Louisa (sp. Lewisa in the census). Uriah and Elizabeth Akers had apparently fallen on hard times and had farmed their children out to connected families, until they could get back on their feet again.
