This family, which is


TITSWORTH largely represented in New Jersey, is of English


origin. More than a century ago two Tits- worth brothers, Lewis and Isaac, settled in the southern part of the state.


(I) Isaac Titsworth, younger of the brothers above named, married Margaret Mitchell, and to them were born seven sons and six daughters.


(II) Rudolph, youngest of the seven sons of Isaac and Margaret (Mitchell) Titsworth, was born in Bridgeton, Cumberland county, New Jersey, September 26, 1820. He began to earn his own livelihood at the early age of eight years. When eleven years old he came to Plainfield, and was apprenticed to a tailor, tailoring at that time being one of the leading industries of the place. After finishing his apprenticeship, with his brothers, John D. and Abram D. Titsworth, he manufactured cloth- ing there until their growing trade required a more important business location, and they removed their general offices to New York City, as the firm of J. D. Titsworth & Brothers.


The firm occupied a leading place among man- ufacturers, and was the first to establish a wholesale clothing house in Chicago, Illinois, their goods being manufactured in New York City. Later the same partners were known under the firm name of A. D. Titsworth & Company, and were among the leading cloth- iers of Chicago until 1871, when their large and prosperous business was entirely destroyed by the great fire of that year. During the civil war they filled many large contracts for cloth- ing for the army and navy, for several years afterward conducting branch houses in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama. This was con- tinued until 1875, when the partnership was dissolved, Rudolph M. Titsworth continuing the business in New York until his death, in 1892. For forty-six years he traveled daily between his home in Plainfield and his office in New York City, and at the time of his death had been a commuter from Plainfield for a longer period than any other resident of that place. He was a resident of Plainfield for sixty-one years, and was prominently con- nected with its advancement from a hamlet in 1830 to the prosperous city of his later years. He labored industriously with Dr. Charles H. Stillman to establish the present school system of New Jersey. These two, with Randolph Runyon, in 1867, composed the first board of education of Plainfield, Mr. Titsworth contin- uing as a member for eleven years. He was one of the organizers of the Dime Savings Institution, in 1868, and a director from that time until his death. In religion he was a Seventh-day Baptist, a constituent member of the church in Plainfield in 1838, and for many years was a member of the board of trustees of the Seventh-day Baptist Memorial Fund, and a director of the American Sabbath Tract Society. He was treasurer of the Plainfield College for Young Ladies, and was a liberal supporter of all these institutions.


Mr. Titsworth married, in 1845, Ann Eliza Randolph, a descendant of a family well known from colonial times, and who died in 1883. A daughter, Anna E., died in 1891. Three sons survive ; all of whom are associated with the Potter Printing Press Company- Joseph M., being treasurer; George B., assis- tant superintendent ; and Arthur L., of whom further.


Mr. Rudolph Titsworth died October 10, 1892, aged seventy-two years, and his remains rest in the family plot in Hillside Cemetery. He was respected and beloved by all who knew him. He was a man of marked business ability,

progressive, yet unassuming. He was of genial and buoyant disposition, of warm sympathies, a staunch friend, and a wise adviser. A biog- rapher has epitomized these qualities in a single phrase : A wise counsellor and a peace- maker.


(III) Arthur L., son of Rudolph and Ann Eliza (Randolph) Titsworth, was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, February 26, 1855. He attended the public and high schools, grad- uating in 1870, and graduated from Rutgers College in 1875, at the age of twenty years, receiving the degree of M. S. in 1878. For many years after his graduation he was engaged in a manufacturing business in New York City. In 1897 he accepted the position of accountant and cashier of the Potter Print- ing Press Company of Plainfield, and has con- tinued in that post to the present time. He is possessed of great musical talent, and for the long period of twenty-eight years has been organist and choir director of the Trinity Reformed Church in Plainfield. Since 1890 he has been recording secretary of the Amer- ican Sabbath Tract Society. In politics he is a Republican. Mr. Titsworth married Frances S. Van Hoesen, and to them was born one child who died in infancy. He married (sec- ond) Nellie R., daughter of John R. Runner. The family attend the Seventh-day Baptist Church.


TITSWORTH Lewis Titsworth, son of Isaac Titsworth and his wife, Esther Randolph, was the first member of this family of whom we have definite information. He was a school teacher the greater part of his life. In his later years he was a farmer. He lived at Spotswood, New Brunswick, Metuchen and Piscataway, Middlesex county, New Jersey, at various times. His family is of English origin. He married Kezia Dunham, and they had ten children. He was a man of strong religious convictions and upright life. He died in 1848.


(II) Abraham Dunham, eldest child of Lewis and Kezia (Dunham) Titsworth, was born March 4, 1797, and died May 28, 1869. He lived at Metuchen, on a large farm he purchased from his father, but spent his later years in Plainfield. He was for many years a manufacturer of clothing for the southern trade. He married Juliet Fitz Randolph, daughter of Isaac Fitz Randolph, a well-to-do miller of Brooklyn, New Jersey, and the couple had eight children.


(III) Caleb Sheppard, son of Abraham Dunham and Juliet (Fitz Randolph) Tits- worth, was born at Metuchen, New Jersey, September 16, 1826, and died in Newark, New Jersey, May 28, 1886. He took charge of the Shiloh Academy in Cumberland county, New Jersey, when he was only eighteen years of age. He read law with Judge John T. Nix- ton, of Bridgeton. Entering Union College as a sophomore, he was graduated with high honors in the class of 1850, with the degree of bachelor of arts. He then became a classical teacher in the Brighton (Mississippi) grammar school, remaining there until 1853, when he decided to return to his native state and com- plete his law studies, which he did in the office of Joseph Annin, in Plainfield, subsequently becoming a student under Theodore Runyon (later chancellor of New Jersey) in Newark. Mr. Titsworth was admitted to the bar of New Jersey as an attorney in November, 1855, and as a counsellor in November, 1858. He estab- lished himself in the practice of his profession in Newark, where he was speedily recognized as a leader of the Essex county bar. He secured a large and influential clientele, and in the course of his career was successfully iden- tified with a great deal of important litigation, figuring in some of the most notable cases of his day. He was elected city counsel of New- ark in January, 1866, but resigned that office in March, 1867, to become prosecutor of the pleas of Essex county, in which capacity he added materially to his reputation and per- formed the functions of the position with an ability that was exceptional. In 1874 he became president judge of the common pleas of Essex county, serving for a period of five years and gaining distinction as a jurist. He dignified the bench by his presence thereon, and his judicial decisions were characterized by learning, impartiality, and all those qualities most to be desired in a judge of the courts. A lifelong Republican in his political principles, Judge Titsworth was one of those who helped to found the party in his own state, and gave the organization his best efforts in the cam- paigns that followed. He was one of the chief organizers and subsequently a director and counsel of the Merchants' Insurance Company at Newark. He was for many years a trustee of the First Baptist Church of that city. Per- sonally he was respected and loved by all who knew him. Judge Titsworth married, in New- ark, in 1858, Frances Caroline, daughter of Charles Grant of that city. Children : I. Charles Grant, referred to below. 2. Caroline

Juliet, died in infancy. 3. Mary, married Rev. Livingston L. Taylor, now of Canandaigua, New York. 4. Frances, married James P. Dusenberry, of Newark. 5. Frederick Shep- pard, now practicing law in Denver, Colorado; married Jane Marian Brown.


(IV) Charles Grant, son of Judge Caleb Sheppard and Frances Caroline (Grant) Tits- worth, was born in Newark, New Jersey, and is now living in Summit, New Jersey. He was educated in Newark Academy and Prince- ton College, graduating from the latter with honors in 1881. Taking a course in the Law School of Columbia University, he was grad- uated therefrom in 1884, and the same year was admitted to practice at the bar of New Jersey, and entered into partnership with his father. He became a counsellor in 1887, and then entered into a law partnership with Edward M. Colie. In 1889, on account of health, he removed to Colorado and was a resident of Denver until 1896. During his residence of six and a half years there he prac- ticed law. He became interested in the


Municipal Reform movement, and led his ticket as a candidate for city supervisor. Dur- ing the county campaign which followed he was chairman of the reform committee, which was successful in wresting from the old parties several of the most important offices. He was also active in the work of the Central Presby- terian Church and Sunday school.


Upon his return to Newark, Mr. Titsworth again became a partner with Edward M. Colie, another member of the firm being Francis J. Swayze, now on the supreme court bench. In 1899 he entered the service of the Fidelity Trust Company as title officer, which position he now (1910) continues to occupy. He has been interested in and prominently identified with municipal affairs, especially in move- ments for the betterment of city life. In 1903 he began in the Board of Trade an agitation for the planting and care of shade trees in Newark, and this led to the formation of the Newark Shade Tree Commission, a body of three men having the exclusive control of trees in the public streets, with power to assess the expense thereof upon the property holders. Mayor Henry M. Doremus appointed him a member of the first tree commission, and he served as secretary for one year in the pioneer work which followed the organization. In the following four years he was president of the commission, and during his period of ser- vice nearly eleven thousand trees were planted in the streets of Newark. The city parks were


placed under the care of the commission, and have been beautified as never before. The work was novel, Newark being the first large city in the country which ever conducted such a plan. Since then, however, the Shade Tree Commission idea has been adopted by many cities, towns and villages throughout the coun- try. During the panic of 1907, Mr. Titsworth organized a free employment bureau, and was made chairman of the committee of citizens which conducted it. In the short period dur- ing which it was deemed necessary to conduct this enterprise, about three hundred and sixty men received employment through its efforts. For many years Mr. Titsworth has been deeply interested in the work of the Bureau of Asso- ciated Charities, of which he is a director. He was chairman of the committee made up from several charitable societies for the distribution of milk to the infant poor, and has been active in the fight against tuberculosis in Newark and New Jersey. For five years (1902-1907) he was superintendent of the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark, and for many years has been a trustee, and of late an elder of that church. He is a trustee of and counsel for the Job Haines Home for Aged People.


Mr. Titsworth married Elizabeth Linen Dawson, daughter of Ichabod W. Dawson, of Newark, June 4, 1901. Their children were Mary Linen, Charlotte Grant, Randolph and Grant, of whom Charlotte and Grant survive.


Our details of the early an- VOORHEES cestry of this line are digested from the "Geneal- ogy of the Van Voorhees Family in America," by Elias W. Van Voorhis, of New York City, (G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1888).


Van Voorhees is the anglicized surname form of three Hollandish words, "van voor Hees," meaning "from before (or in front of) the town of Hees." The earliest ascertained ancestor of the American family was Albert van voor Hees, i. e., one Albert, who resided near Hees. As is well known to all genealo- gists, the original Dutch colonists in America (with very few exceptions) did not come here with surnames of established usage according to the English fashion ; and when, con formably to English custom, they began to adopt fixed family names, these were usually adaptations of parental or other given names, or of place designations in Holland. The town of Hees, the native place of the Voorhees Family, is a small community in the province of Drenthe.

Albert van voor Hees, first of the name, had nine children, the eldest of whom was Coerte Alberts van voor Hees. He lived in Holland. Of his seven children, the eldest, Steven Coerte Van Voorhees, was founder of the family in America.


(I) Steven Coerte Van Voorhees was born in or near Hees, province of Drenthe, Holland. In April, 1660, he emigrated in the ship "Bon- tekoe" (Spotted Cow), Captain Pieter Lucas- sen, master, with his wife and eight children, and, arriving in the colony of New Netherland, settled on Long Island. He purchased from Cornelis Dircksen Hoogland, November 29, 1660, for three thousand guilders, certain landed property, a house and house-plot, and a brewery and apparatus, in the town of "Amers- foort en Bergen" (Flatlands), as per page 37, liber B, Flatlands Records. In 1664 he was one of the magistrates of that place, and his name appears in 1667 on a patent, and in 1675 and 1683 on the assessment rolls. He and his second wife were members of the Dutch Re- formed Church of Flatlands in 1677. His will is dated August 25, 1677, and he died in Flat- lands, February 16, 1684. By his first wife, whose name is lost, he had five sons and five daughters, all born in Holland. Eight of these came with him to America, and the other two emigrated subsequently. All the children mar- ried, and thus the lines of descent from him in the Voorhees and other families are many. His fourth child and second son was


(II) Lucas Stevense Van Voorhees, born in Holland, about 1650. In 1677 he was a mem- ber of the Dutch Reformed Church of Flat- lands, Long Island, and in 1711 one of its elders. His name was entered on the assess- ment rolls of the town in 1675, and he was a magistrate in 1680. One of his children was baptized in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 1685, but in 1687 he was among those who took the oath of allegiance to the English government in Flatlands. His death occurred in the latter place in 1713. He was three times married : first, in Holland, to Catherine Hansen Van Noortstrand, daughter of Hans Van Noort- strand and Jannecken Gerritse Van Loon; (second), January 26, 1689, to Jannetje Min- nes Faddens, daughter of Minne Johannis and Rensie Faddans; (third), 1703, to Catharine Van Dyck. He had issue by his first two wives, and probably by the third also. His children were eight sons and eight daughters.
