It was in a book called, Tennessee Tidbits 1778-1914 Vol. III page 375 and reads as follows: TITSWORTH Thomas Died in 1855 as shown in the suit entered 28 September 1859 by James M. Webb guardian of Mary Jane Titsworth and Martha Titsworth vs. Mary Jane Titsworth. Complaintant Martha Titsworth, the widow, and Mary Jane Titsworth, a minor, were the only heirs. Martha is entitled to dower. (Warren Co. Tn, Chancery Court Minutes, 2/465) Sounds as though he must have left everything to the daughter. Makes you wonder why??? I remember seeing in something else (don't know where and the library where I found the above suit information was about to close when I found that) about a Richard Titsworth and possibly another male Titsworth not sure who, that were involved somehow with Martha and Mary J in the suit. Will let you know if I find out. I also found Martha age 28 and Mary J Titsworth age 6 together on the 1860 census of Warren Co. Tn. I'm not sure who this Thomas was related to, but most of the Titsworth's who went to west Tn were related to Frederick Titsworth somehow. Happy hunting Sarah
