Titsworth lineage
My name is Christa I am african american. my mother's maiden name was Titsworth, her father was Leroy Titsworth, his father Scott titsworth, his father Mingo Titsworth lived and died un Paducah, kentucky .have located him on the cecus,1870,1880,1900, his birth varies between 1820 and 1825, he is married atleast twice one to a mary bennet, the other to a matilda fipps, and i'm sure there is another wich i haven't located yet. on the cencus his mother is living with him and listed as widowed and being born in virginia no name for his father but seems he was born in viginia also.Being of african american decent it next to impossible to trace my ancestery and do know that at some time Mingo may have been a slave and am sure his father was. on the 1870 cencus when i first find Mingo he is living in the household of a white man named William NicholsMost interesting is when searching for his unnamed father,I come across an article in the knoxville gazette dated Jan 9,1795 about the massacre of Col Issac Titsworth's family and a negro boy about the age of 15 or 16 was carried off along with his daughter and the negro boys name was" mingo" maybe this young man was Mingo's father, some of his children where mulatto, anyone have any more details please fell free to contact me! I am just beginning to do my search and i am a bit overwhelmed by the information
