| Birth | Titus Geer Lawrason was born in 1829 at Dumfries Township. |
| Marriage | He married Mary Ellen Van Every. The exact year of the marriage of Titus and Ellen is not certain. Titus and Ellen were still apparently single and living with their parents at the time of the 1851 census, likely taken in January of 1852. An article written in a newspaper (unknown) in 1927 places her birth around the end of December of the year and states that she would be 95. This may not be quite accurate. Her death registration in 1931 says she was 96 years old and 11 days. 1852 will be close to her marriage year. |
