From Adam and Anne Mott, Cornell, 1890
pg 288 "Robert Titus, the immigrant, embarked from London 3d April, 1635 - The passenger list preserved in the public record office, London, contains the following entry:
"Theis under written names are to be transported to New England imbarqued in ye Hopewell, Mr. Wm. Bundic. The parties have brought certificate from the Minister and Justices of the Peace that they are no Subsidy men, they have taken the oath of Alleg. and Suprmacie."
Here follow between twenty and thirty names, some from Essex, some from Derbyshire, Herts and Cambridge. Among them are these names: Robert Titus, husbandman of St. Katherines, aged 35
Hannah Titus Uxor aged 31
Jo Titus aged 8
Edmond Titus aged 5"
The certificate of Robert Titus was from London.

After the arrival of Robert Titus and his family in Boston, in the summer of 1635, land was granted to him in what is now the town of Brookline, near Muddy River, adjoining Boston. Here they remained two or three years, when they removed to Weymouth, about nine miles to the southeast. Their land is described in the records of the town of Weymouth, and was located in the present village of North Weymouth, not far from the place of the unfortunate settlement made by Captain Weston, in September, 1622.
In the spring of 1644 Robert Titus, in company with about forty families, including the minister of Weymouth, Rev. Samuel Newman, removed to the town of Rehoboth, just east of Providence, Rhode Island. While at Rehoboth he was often entrusted by the freemen with offices of confidence. He was commissioner from Rehoboth to the Court of Plymouth, in the years 1648-9 and in 1650 and in 1654. He had some trouble with the Authorities because he harbored Abner Ordway and family, they being of "evil fame." This probably signified that they were Quakers.
In 1654, on "the 23d of 3d month" Robert Titus sold his property at Rheboth to Robert Jones of Nantasket, and removed to Long Island. Edmond, his second son, had been in Hempstead since about 1650/ John, the eldest, remained in Rehoboth North Purchase, no Atteboror. His other children went with him to Long Island. His sons Samuel, Abiel, and Content were freeholders in Huntington, Long Island, in 1666.
Robert Titus died before his wife. Her will was dated at Huntington, 14th May, 1672 and proved 28th May, 1679. She gives to her son Content, her house and all her lands, he paying his brother John ten pounds. She adds:
"And also I give to my son John my mare, and to my son Edmond I give a horse, and to my son Samuel a browne cow and a yearlen stear, and I give to my son Samuel's wife my warmingpan, and to my son Abiall's wife my smoothing iron, and to my son Content's wife my skimmer, and for what remnanates I have of serfe and cloth, my will is that it be equally divided among all my children, and to my dalter Susana I give my sarg hoode, and for all the rest of the estate within the house and without it I give to my sun Abiall and Content to be equally divided between them two, and to this my will
