JOHN RANDOLPH TITTERINGTON was the son of Thomas Henry Titterington and Margaret Randolph, ancestors of Bev - see chart Wb16. He was born in October, 1883. He was killed in the Philippines during the Philippine Insurrection, probably in his late teens and is probably buried there too. Bev tells us that John was smoking in the barn at his family's home and accidentally burned the barn down. This happened in 1898 when the Spanish American war started. He ran away to his oldest sister Susan King who lived in ElReno. John was only 15 at the time and he begged his sister to sign for him so that he could join the army. She did sign and regretted it all of the rest of her life. He fought in Cuba and then the war continued to the Philippines where he was killed. There is a cemetery in the Philippines but it has been difficult for Bev to locate his grave. She does not know if the boy went by the name of John Titterington or John King. There is a John King buried there but she cannot be certain that it is him and so far, it has not been possible to find any records for him.
