titus - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Titus
  honourable, was with Paul and Barnabas at Antioch, and
  accompanied them to the council at Jerusalem (Gal. 2:1-3; Acts
  15:2), although his name nowhere occurs in the Acts of the
  Apostles. He appears to have been a Gentile, and to have been
  chiefly engaged in ministering to Gentiles; for Paul sternly
  refused to have him circumcised, inasmuch as in his case the
  cause of gospel liberty was at stake. We find him, at a later
  period, with Paul and Timothy at Ephesus, whence he was sent by
  Paul to Corinth for the purpose of getting the contributions of
  the church there in behalf of the poor saints at Jerusalem sent
  forward (2 Cor. 8:6; 12:18). He rejoined the apostle when he was
  in Macedonia, and cheered him with the tidings he brought from
  Corinth (7:6-15). After this his name is not mentioned till
  after Paul's first imprisonment, when we find him engaged in the
  organization of the church in Crete, where the apostle had left
  him for this purpose (Titus 1:5). The last notice of him is in 2
  Tim. 4:10, where we find him with Paul at Rome during his second
  imprisonment. From Rome he was sent into Dalmatia, no doubt on
  some important missionary errand. We have no record of his
  death. He is not mentioned in the Acts.
