Disputed parentage of Thomas Titus

Thomas is listed as being born in 1630 in Virginia.^[2] Original parents listed for Thomas did not arrive in America until 1635. Thomas also is not listed in Hannah Carter Titus' will.^[3]

This could mean that the birth date is incorrect and that he died prior to his mother. If Hannah had disowned him, it was customary at the time to leave a token (pence) in a will, which did not occur.

Original parents listed as:

Hannah Titus [Carter-2648] or Hannah Titus [Carter-8484] and Robert Titus [Titus-118]

This set of ships passenger lists includes ships to Virginia (a catch-all phrase to mean almost anywhere along the coast), Barbadoes, Bermuda, West Indies and of course New England Lorine's Note: This set of records consists of various passenger lists, names of individuals ready to sail to New England, and names of those taking the Oath of Allegiance (in preparation for sailing). It is not always obvious when each ship left. Researchers will have to determine whether or not a ship made more than one sailing each year it is mentioned. The original spelling has been maintained, so you will see "Landen" for "London", etc. Note that common words found are "uxor" meaning "wife", "mr" for "Master" (of the ship) Finding the names: You can browse each list, starting with the one below (scroll down). To browse the passenger lists of all ships I have online for this 20 year period to New England see the list of all known ships that made the voyage. I hope to find passenger lists for every ship on the list, so if you have a ship list, please consider donating it to Olive Tree.
