OLIVER P. TITUS. The pioneer an- cestor of the Titus family was Titus Syrachs de Vries, who emigrated from Vries, a village of Drenthe, Holland, about 1650, and settled on Long Island, living at different periods at Brooklyn, Flatlands and New Utrecht, and owning considerable land. He was lieutenant of a company of foot at Midwout in 1673, and died about 1688. He married Jan- netje Teunis, daughter of Teunis Janse Couverts, who emigrated from Heem- stede, North Holland, in 1651, and their .children (all of whom, and their de- scendants adopted and kept the surname of Titus), were: Tryntje, baptized De- cember 23, 1663; Teunis Titus; Syrach

Titus, baptized December 28, 1679; Jan- netje, March, 1682; Titus Titus; Francis Titus.

Teunis Titus, son of Titus Syrachs and Jannetje Couverts, joined his mother in the conveyance of his father's land at Flatlands, May 14, 1695, and removed to Newtown, Long Island, where lie re- sided until 1703, and at about that date removed to Mansfield, Burlington county, New Jersey, from whence two of his sons, Francis and Jacob, migrated to Bucks county about 1730. The former married, June 19, 1734, Mary Clark of Bucks county and settled in Middletown township, where he died in 1784, leav- ing seven children, viz .: Francis, Jr., who married. August 17, 1763, Jane Fa- gen, and died at Bristol in 1800, leaving a son, Francis, and three daughters ; Martha, married Abraham Slack; Eliza- beth married John Hellings; John; Tim- othy, married Martha Wright in 1764, and lived and died at Bristol; Samuel; and Tunis, who died before his father, leaving five children.

Francis Titus, Jr., son of Francis and Mary (Clark) Titus, owned land in Plum- stead and Tinicum townships, and lived for a time in Plumstead township, though he removed to Bristol township prior to his death in 1800. The descent of the subject of this sketch from the earlier generations of the family as above noted is not entirely clear, but he is thought to be a son of the third Fran- cis of Bristol.

'William Titus, said to be a son of Francis Titus, Jr., married Fronica Keeler, daughter of George and Mary Keeler, of Tinicum township, and had two sons, Lewellyn and Jacob. The former went to California during the gold fever in 1852, and still resides there.

Jacob Titus was reared in Tinicum township, and married there Elizabeth George, daughter of Jacob and Hannah George, the latter of whom died in 1831. Hannah George was a granddaughter of Edward Marshall, the famous walker

and Indian fighter, who was born near Bustleton, Pennsylvania, in 1710, and died in Tinicum, Bucks county, Novem- ber 6, 1789. He made the famous "day and a half walk back in the woods" from Wrightstown to the Blue mountains in 1737, which defined the boundaries of the "Walking Purchase," and thereby incurred the enmity of the Indians, who several times attacked his cabin and killed his first wife. He married (sec- ond) Elizabeth Mease, and left a family of fifteen children. A full account of him is given in the first volume of this history, in the chapter entitled "The Walking Purchase."

Jacob Titus purchased in 1852 a large farm in Warrington, Bucks county, one hundred and thirty-seven acres of which he retained and greatly improved, erecting in 1855 the present large and commod- ious stone dwelling now occupied by his son, Oliver P. Titus. He also erected the barn and other outbuildings. He was an enterprising and successful farmer, and held a high place in the community. Starting out in life with little or none of this world's goods, by dint of prese- verance and hard work he achieved financial success, while his strict integ- rity and unblemished character won the esteem of his neighbors and a large circle of friends.

Jacob George, the father of Elizabeth (George) Titus, was a son of Jacob and Eve George, of Tinicum, Bucks county. the former of whom died in 1815, and the latter in 1829. They were the par- ents of one son, Jacob, and four daug- ters: Elizabeth, wife of George Hillpot; Catharine, wife of Jacob Fulmer; Mary, wife of George Wycker; and Susanna, wife of Frederick Solliday. Hannah, the wife of Jacob George, Jr., is thought to have been a daughter of William and Naomi (Marshall) McCalla.

Jacob George, Jr. inherited from his father a farm of 199 acres in Tinicum, where he died December 18. 1831. He and his wife Hannah were the parents of the following children: Hugh, a civil engineer who died in 1866, unmarried; Susanna, married George Raike; Hiram, died in 1879; Eve, married William Royce; Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Titus; Naomi, wife of Michael Worman; and Jacob W. George. Mrs. Titus died in 1898.

English and Classical Seminary. He re- mained on the farm with his father un- til his marriage, and two years later removed to New Jersey, where he was- for six years superintendent of a stock farm of 350 acres. He then returned home, and at the death of his mother purchased the homestead in 1899, and has since made it his home. The farm is pleasantly located in the valley of the Little Neshaminy, and is a very productive one. Mr. Titus takes great pride in keeping up its ornamental and attractive features as well as the fertility of the soil. Politically Mr. Titus is a Republican, and religiously he and his. wife are members of Neshaminy Pres- byterian Church. Mr. Titus married Florence B. Dobbins, who was born in Bucks county, October 19, 1865, and is. a daughter of the late J. K. and Sarah A. (Jenkins) Dobbins, of Warrington. Her father, J. K. Dobbins, was born in Pemberton, New Jersey, November 27. 1838, and was a son of Joseph R. and Mary A. (Hilliard) Dobbins, the former a native of New Jersey, and a prom- inent merchant and well known citizen of Mont Holly, New Jersey. He served' in the war of 1812. Mary A.

The children of Joseph R. and Mary A. (Hilliard) Dobbins were, Eber H., John J., Richard, Susan K., Sarah, Edward, Joseph K., and Merrill.

Joseph K. Dobbins, the father of Mrs. Titus, was reared on the farm near Pemberton, New Jersey. After leaving home he was employed at various voca- tions, and in 1860 entered the employ of the United States government as a member of an engineering corps. He was afterwards promoted to the posi- tion of superintendent of a corps of structural engineers, and had charge of the erection of forts and bridges during the civil war. He resigned his position in the winter of 1864-5 and settled in Bucks county, butt later removed to Philadelphia. In 1878 he purchased the the farm on which he lately lived in Warrington, Bucks county, which he- conducted until his death in 1905. He was one of the well known and popular men of central Bucks county, and an active member of the Bucks County Historical Society, in whose meetings he took a lively interest. His wife, Sarah A. Jenkins, was born in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and is a daugter of Thomas Jenkins of that place. Their children are: Joseph T., of California; Florence R., wife of the subject of this sketch: Clara, wife of - Mckinstry; Sarah L., wife of Charles Horner; Mary. wife of H.
