#56: Same Name - Charity

Part 1: Same Name - Charity

I Same Name - A Person named Charity
Repeated names are so commonplace. It was a fun exercise to see how long an name can be passed unbroken from mother to daughter--or sometimes the son's daughter was named after her. 
The name Charity, as a first or middle name, has been documented all over the family tree, but I found it was handed down to me fairly directly since 1724. The line is not unbroken, but close!

I  Girl born in Oyster Bay, NY in 1724 named Charity Losee [1] (B 18 Aug 1724 D 1813)
This Charity Losee marries Timothy Titus (1726–1802)

II Their son is also timothy Titus (b 1765) he marries a cousin (Margaret Titus) And they name their daughter after Timothy's mother:   She is Charity Titus [2] (1802-1877)

III Charity Titus marries Ephraim Cock Hawxhurst (1793–1859)
Their son is William Ephraim Hawxhurst (1838-1908).

....They name a daughter Bertha Charity [3] Hawxhurst (1881–1973)
