"Seeking info on TITTLE and related families."
" Peter Tittle, Sr of Carlisle, Cumberland Co. Pa, listed in 'History of Cumberland Co, Pa' as being one of its earliest settlers, before 1745. Land deed records document his residence in this area at least until 1763 and perhaps later. A deposition given by Peter, Sr in 1760 regarding the death of an Indian also gives his date of birth as 1725. A daughter Elizabeth (possibly named for her grandmother) married James Hunter (will of James Hunter) who was a neighbor in the area. Son Peter, Jr married Sarah Whitesides, also a neighbor in this area and their family is found later in Westmoreland Co, Pa"

  4. About 1760 Peter Tittle settled in the then wilderness region of Westmoreland County on the banks of a small creek known as Nine Mile Run, in what is now Unity Twp. He was one of three brothers who came from England together, the others George and Henry Tittle. Peter's wife, Christian name Sarah, her surname being unknown. They had four sons, one daughter: James, Jonathan, Jeremiah, John and Sarah. Peter Tittle was a famous Indian fighter, and had reason for his hatred of the savages who devastated the country around his home. The family tradition says he was a good shot with his rifle and was able to count his scalps by the dozens. He was a member of Capt. John Macmillan's?s Company of Rangers on the Frontier of Westmoreland County from 1778 - 1783. [The date given here is probably far too early for Peter to be in Westmoreland.  He and his son show up in the tax rolls of Cumberland County in the 1760's]

His house was an occasional stopping place for soldiers during the latter part of the French and Indian War, and also during the Revolution. (This paragraph appears to be copied from another book and is proven fictional garnishment. Peter of the three mentioned is the son of George's brother, Peter, Sr. of Carlisle, PA and Henry is another 3rd generation of the area and as yet only identified as grandson of John of Bethel Twp and son of another brother of George.
