You will enjoy this. Lynn Titus has gone to great pains to put together this excellent production. Rosalie/New Boston In a message dated 11/5/2007 7:49:26 P.M.

This month's speaker will be Lynn Titus of Grand Prairie, who will present a first person period dress reenactment of his ancestor, Col. James Titus. Col. Titus was born in 1775 in Virginia and was a senator in the Alabama Territory as well as in the Republic of Texas. The time period will be early November, 1843 in Clarksville, as James Titus has left his plantation near Savannah to talk about his life with friends and town-folk from Clarksville and the surrounding area. At his death in 1844, he became the first person buried in what would become Red River County's Savannah Cemetery. All interested persons are invited to attend this meeting. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I have notes I took when Lynn Titus came to speak to the genealogy society on Apr 14, 2003 on the James Titus Family History. It was most interesting (back to 1600s in England) then and I know that Monday will be so much more so. Hope I can make it. My colander says Monday is the 12th and not the 13th, which was in the Times. Anyway, I took a hold page of notes that night. (a little rambling now, so delete if not interested) Every time I hear the name Lynn Titus, my immediate thought is Lynn Holder. Lynn Holder is from Avery and I first met him at Paris Junior College in 1959. I bet there is a connection because there are Holder's buried at Savannah Cemetery as is Titus. Due to Lynn Titus's talk in 2003, I went to Savannah Cemetery (only a few miles from Avery) and made some notes and took pictures. Seems I remember Lynn in 2003 speak of confusion in the name. Now I am confused. I do not see James Titus listed on this Cemetery site and I do not have him in my notes, but he must be there somewhere. I took a picture of Andrew Titus's marker that Cynthia posted on the site. If I read my notes right, Andrew is a son of James. I am certain Lynn came give the correct answer. Now I a think I recall a conversation of James Titus being buried elsewhere, maybe Titus Co?. Sue hope I can be there Monday night to let Lynn set me straight. There was a Myrtle Titus (I think Myrtle is correct but I could be wrong), she worked for the Moore's in their grocery story in Avery when I had the drug store there in the 1970s. She told me she was related to me some how, my guess is it was through my Watson line and not the Titus. Hope to see some of you Monday night but I have been having trouble making the meetings lately.
