MOSES TICHENAL (TICHENOR)
The Origin Of The Titchenal Name (Tichenor, Tichenell, etc.)
Moses Tichenor was the first man known to continuously use the name Titchenal and Tichenal. The changing of the "or" ending of the name Tichenor to "al" or adding a second "t", resulted in a new spelling of the name Tichenor. Moses Tichenor's (from New Jersey) name appeared as Tichenal when he bought land in Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1778.
It was later spelled various ways on other records in Maryland. (Tichenal, Tichnell, etc.) His son David's name was spelled on various records as Tichenal, Titchenal and Tichanal. David's sons used the spelling Titchenal as did all of their descendants. Every lineage checked to date show people using the spelling Titchenal descended from one of David's or Moses' children.
We may never know the actual reasons Moses' name was spelled differently in Virginia and Maryland than the way it was spelled in New Jersey. The 300 years from 1476 to 1776 was not only a period of great social, religious, political and industrial changes in England and America; but also a period of radical change in the English language. Add to this the large and constantly changing immigrant population, the movement to the frontiers, with little opportunity for education, perhaps it is surprising the name changed as little as it did.172
Moses Tichenor (sic) served in the Revolutionary War in Captain Layton’s Company of Morris County, New Jersey Militia in 1778, and was drafted into the Virginia Militia for a tour of duty to guard the prisoners taken at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. The prisoners were confined in Frederick County, Virginia. His son David was enrolled as his substitute and served from November or December of 1781 until March 12, 1782.
Although the spelling of Moses Tichenor’s namevaries from the time he left New Jersey, he evidently preferred Tichenal. While no record of his name with that spelling has been found in New Jersey, there is one Morris County deed for his brother, Daniel, spelled Tichenal. The use of single and double "Ls" are in use today by Moses’ descendants, none of whom – so far as is known – spell their surname Tichenor.8

Wife, Elizabeth. Sons - Joseph, 56 acres on the west joining to the heirs of James Primrise, deceased; James, and Daniel, equally, the remainder of my land; Moses, 51 acres in the great Swamp bought of Mr. Penn. Daughter, Jane, two-thirds of moveable estate. Witnesses - Caleb Fairchild, Sam'l Tuthull, Benjamin Conger. Proved 5 April, 1750
1750, May 10. Administration granted to Elizabeth (relict). Bondsman - Nathaniel Ward. (Lib. F., p. 7) 1751, Nov. 6.

Moses Tichenor and his descendants were the single biggest cause of the change in the spelling of the name Tichenor. In 1779, when Moses moved to Virginia he allowed his name to be changed and spelled, Titchenal -Tichenal-Tichnell-etc. Many Tichnell, ect., about 61 of the families stayed in Maryland and the adjacent West Virginia area. In 1810, Moses' son, David, moved to the Harrison County area of West Virginia and many (about 68) of the families still live there. Three of David's sons used the name Titchenal and moved west to the Central part of the country, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. Some of their decedents, about 34 of the families still live around St. Louis. Two groups of their descendants moved on to the PACIFIC COAST about 34 of them now live in Caifornia or the Northwestern area of America.
