"The Titsworths came about 1834. They consisted of Isaac Titsworth, his wife and two sons-Hiram and Lemuel-and several daughters. They had formerly resided for many years in Logan County. They settled in the Southwestern part of Survey 9,917, about a mile northeast from Byhalia, on the Essex road. Hiram was the first Justice of the Peace in the township. But little legal erudition was then requisite as a qualification for election to this office and legal forms were not very closely observed at first. Hiram afterward sold his place of 126 acres in Survey 9,917, and removed to Missouri. Isaac and his wife died in the township, and Lemuel moved to Richland County, near Mansfield, after disposing of his farm in this township." [1]
