Surnames: TITSWORTH, VANTINE, RUSSELL, PARKER, MORRIS, WALKER, DOVE, COLE, PRICE Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0dB.2ACI/4171 Message Board Post: Hello, Come on you guys, there has to be a lot more interest in this old Revolutionary War family. You should be very proud! These are not my relatives. Information was found in the 1892 Portrait & Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Chapman Bros. in Michigan. I hope that it helps someone with their history. Colleen GEORGE TITSWORTH. The subject of this sketch, now a citizen of Lapeer Township, Lapeer County, came from good old stock, his father, Jacob TITSWORTH, having served his country in the War of 1812. He was a native of Pennsylvania where he carried on farming. His grandfather, Marcus TITSWORTH, was also a patriot, having been a Revolutionary War veteran, and lived too the good old age of ninety years. The mother of our subject was Jane Vantine TITSWORTH, a native of Cayuga County, N.Y. She was descended from old Dutch stock and was born in New York. Mr. and Mrs. TITSWORTH were married in Cayuga County and emigrated too the western part of the State, before the War of 1812, in Erie County, where they remained until they came too Michigan in 1836, settling in Oakland County on a raw farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Groveland Township. He improved the farm very much and died in 1861. They were the parents of six children, three of whom are now living - our subject, Ellen RUSS! ELL (a widow) and Jacob TITSWORTH of Goodrich. The parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in which they were active and beloved members. Mr. TITSWORTH is also active in politics, being first a Whig and then a Republican. Our subject was born December 30, 1821 in Erie County, N.Y. He came too Michigan at the age of thirteen. His early education was received in New York previous too his moving too Michigan. Starting on his own resources at the early age of sixteen years, he worked on a railroad for one year, afterward working on a farm until he was married and obtained means too settle for himself. He was married October 9, 1842, too Mary Ann PARKER, daughter of Lyman PARKER, an early settler of Oakland County, settling their in 1836 and a prominent farmer in his day. Both parents have been dead for many years. Mrs. TITSWORTH was born October 24, 1822 in the State of Ohio and was their educated in the district schools. Her death occurred May 19, 1891 and she lies peacefully at rest in the Clark Cemetery near Hunter's Creek. Mr. TITSWORTH and his estimable wife were the parents of four children, two of whom are now living: Milton was married too Lucy MORRIS and lives in Lapeer Township; they have a family of six children. Chauncy L. was united in marriage with Libby WALKER, and lives on the home farm; they have two daughters Our subject after marriage settled on his little farm of sixty acres in Atlas Township, Genesee county, this state. It was all raw land and covered heavily with timber. He built a log house their and sturdily began life, determined too succeed. He remained on this farm until 1866 at which time he had one hundred acres, all of which he had improved himself. He sold it in 1866 and removed too his present farm, which was but roughly improved when he bought it. With hard work and perseverance he now has acquired a fine property of one hundred and sixty acres, one hundred and ten of which are under fine cultivation. This was stumped, stoned, and cleared by his own hard and persistent labor. He has a fine barn which cost him $1,600 and a comfortable residence costing $750. The residence in which the son of our subject resides, was standing on the farm when Mr. TITSWORTH bought it, and their was also a windmill and well on the place. Mr. TITSWORTH carries on general farming dividin! g his land between grain and stock. Eight years ago he engaged extensively in the sheep business having a fine stock of Spanish Merinoes and thoroughbreds.. Out of his flock of sixty, many are registered. After a life of arduous labor he is now reaping the reward of his efforts, having retired from active work and living in peace and comfort. In addition too his farming operations, Mr. TITSWORTH successfully engaged as a Veterinary Surgeon for thirty years or more, and was sought after in many townships around. He and his deceased wife were honored and active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church for thirty years during which time the husband acted as Class-leader and Steward of the church. His present membership is at Metamora. His son, Milton, is now Superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school at Hunter's Creek and is much thought of for his work's sake. Mr. TITSWORTH gave all his children a good practical education. In politics he always casts his vote with the Repub! lican party. Mrs. TITSWORTH was a good Christian woman and a most devoted wife and mother kind and tender hearted and beloved by all who knew her. As a wife the thirty-first chapter of Proverbs aptly describes her. The following verses are dedicated too her memory: "Religion filled her soul with peace Upon her dying bed; Let faith look up, let sorrow cease, She lives with Christ o'er head. "Yes, faith beholdeth where she sits, With Jesus clothed in white. Our loss is her eternal gain, She dwells in cloudless light." The eldest son of Mr. TITSWORTH enlisted in the Thirtieth Michigan Regiment at the beginning of the late war and served six months. Becoming sick he obtained a furlough and was taken home where he died October 26, 1865, at the youthful age of twenty-one years, sacrificing his life for the good of his country. On November 24, 1891, Mr. TITSWORTH was a second time married, taking as his wife Mrs. Fannie M. DOVE of Oxford, Oakland County, Mich. Mrs. TITSWORTH, whose maiden name was Fannie M. COLE, was born in Ray, Macomb County, Mich., May 23, 1837. She had two children, born of her first husband: Ella Z. and Thankie C. The former married O.J. PRICE and resides in Detroit, Mich.
