Biography of Philip Titman

Philip Titman was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, believed to be the son of George Titman according to the History of Germans in New Jersey[1]. He enlisted in Capt Forgeman's company, and Colonel Hooper, and was put to work as a teamster and waggoner, transporting supplies to troops in New Jersey[2]. He believed his enlistment was in May 1779 for a term of nine months. He entered the service at Sussex, New Jersey where he resided in the town of Oxford, New Jersey. In his declaration, he says that he was given a discharge, but his sister-in-law destroyed it, believing that it was "worthless"[8]. He also states that John Titman was his brother and that Catharine Titman was his sister-in-law, married to John Titman.

Catharine give's her sworn declaration, admitting that she destroyed his discharge, and that she was formerly "Catharine Titman", the widow of John Titman, Deceased, and her name is now Catharine Armstrong[8].

Philip Titman declares that he relocated to North Carolina after the war was over[2]. He must have been part of the families who relocated together in Lincoln County, North Carolina about 1790. There is no mention of a marriage for him, nor any children. Philip Titman dies in Lincoln County, North Carolina on 19 February 1841[2]. His will written on the 28th day of May 1835[4] bequeaths his earthly goods to his "friend", Elizabeth Titman. He also states Elizabeth Titman (His sister of Peter Titman) is to have the balance of his pension money, if any for taking care of him while he lived. His burial is unknown.

Philip, we salute you for your service to our country and honor your memory.
