Titus built a home in Northfield, Conn., and it has an historical marker name plaque that says "Titus Humiston 1774". The home was still standing and people living there in 1980. He and his family moved to Colesville, N.Y. before 1800. His will, recorded Nov. 11, 1819 mentions wife, Molly, a possible second wife. History of Broome Co. N.Y. says he came to Colesville in 1795 with 15 children. According to birth dates of the children, if he came in 1795, there were most likely 12 children by then. From the Early Land Records of Broome Co. Ny 1806-1820: Humaston, Titus from Jesse Wilmont May 18, 1808.
On 20 Dec 1775 when Titus was 24, he married Beulah Batchelor, daughter of Abel Batchelor (1723-) & Thankful Cook (1725-). Born on 7 Jul 1755 in Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut. Beulah died in Colesville, Broome, New York on 16 Sep 1811, she was 56. Buried in Colesville, Broome, New York.
Colesville history books give a wonderful story about Titus Sr. moving to NY from Connecticut by oxcart in the wintertime. He had a number of children, and the youngest, Titus Jr. apparently fell, still bundled, into the snow, and was not noticed to be missing for some miles. They went back to find him perfectly safe. This story quoted from David Humiston, a direct descendant of Titus Jr.
