In 1650 he lived at L I, Westbury, North Riding of Yorkshire . He
died on 2 Feb 1715 in L I, Old Westbury, Nassau, New York Colony.
Son of Robert Titus and Hannah (Titus). Edmund Titus became a Quaker in Connecticut
and lived and died in that faith. He settled at Westbury. He went to New England
from England with his brother and father in 1635. He lived with them until 1650
when he then moved to Hemstead, Long Island in company with William Stiles, then
upwards of 100 years of age and who it is said traveled on foot from Rehobath,
Massachusetts, Long Island, and lived to be 116 years old.
He purchased the proprietary right of Timothy Wood one of the original potenters
of the town of Hemstead. He received as his portion on a general division of
the land, a "lot" at Westbury; upon which he established his home,
which in 1890 was still owned and occupied by his descendants of the same name.
He and his wife Martha became members of the "Society of Friends by convincement
and ever after remained active and respected members of that religious body.
The following is from the records of Westbury Meeting 1715. "Edmund Titus
one that receiveth ye truth many years since and lived and dyed in it, in his
latter days his eyes grew dim that he could not see and thick of hearing all
of which he bore very patiently - in the time of his last sickness his daughter
Pheby Field standing by him he said "My life is in Christ my God,"
with more comfortable words - his last words were these, "I have put away
all filthiness and superfluity of haughtiness I have received with meekness ye
engrafted word that is able to save the soul" and soon departed this life
in a quiet frame of spirit, sensible to the last - the 7th 2nd month:, 1715 age
