Over the years, much has been learned about the Donahue family, but there is little knowledge of the Titsworth family. During my searches, I have learned that the original spelling of the name could have been Tietsort. At this time, the information on Grace Titsworth, and her family, is very sketchy. As new information is gathered, it will be added to the site.If you have any information you would care to share, please email me. Thank you.

The following information has been gleaned from the family bible of Elva Irene REESE, a family tree - author unknown, and various obituaries. This information has not been properly confirmed. If anyone has information which will assist in confirming what is contained in this page, or add to it, please email me. Thank you.
