I'm searching for information that would confirm or deny a link between Elijah Tittle with the families of John B. Tittle and Anthony Tittle in Hamilton Co IL.

Rev. Elijah Tittle (b. 21 Mar 1855 TN, d. 2 Feb 1898) and his wife, Mary (b. 13 Feb 1857, d. 23 Feb 1922) are listed as being buried in the Springer/New Hope cemetery near Blairsville, Hamilton Co. IL along with many other Tittle burials. It's possible that Elijah is a younger brother to John B. Tittle (b. 28 May 1853 TN, d. 28 Feb 1907 Hamilton Co IL) and Anthony Tittle (b. 18 May 1851 TN, d. 33 Dec 1922 IL), both of whom are also buried in the Springer/New Hope cemetery. John B. and Anthony are sons of Samuel C. Tittle and Lydia Denton Tittle, originally of Warren Co TN who later migrated to Hamilton Co IL and are also buried in the Springer/New Hope cemetery. They are also nephews of my 2G-grandfather, Lorenzo Dow Tittle.

John B. Tittle is referred to as "Elder" and served in the Beaver Creek Baptist church. I do not know which denomination or church "Rev." Elijah Tittle served.

Any leads or information about Elijah Tittle would be appreciated.
