Notes - In 1805, John Adamson settled on the College Township road, near and opposite Lewellyn Williams, in the angle where Fort Ancient and Clarksville pike diverges southeast from the old road. Arba Alexander soon after owned and settled at the same place. Timothy Titus settled in 1806, on the north side of Chillicothe road, where James Meloy now owns, in a half-faced camp. As soon as he got matters a little regulated, he set up a blacksmith shop. This was the first shop of the kind in the township, except Nebo Gaunt’s. It is supposed William McCray settled in the vicinity the same year. Jacob Garretson, father-in-law of Timothy Titus, settled north of Union Church about the same time.
Timothy served in the War of 1812. His company served in the War of 1812 in the 2nd Regiment (Zumalt's) Ohio Militia which served from September 4, 1813, until March 14, 1814. He was Justice of the Peace from the organization of the township till his death. He made a number of trips to New Orleans with flat-boats, and died in Mississippi with the yellow fever in 1826.
