Barbara purchased a box of some old jewelry and to her surprise found 2 identical gold rectangular early victorian pins (not  mourning jewelry but "affection" pins)  with blondish hair braided in  each. 
On the back of one it says, P Titcomb from her sister Emmeline and  the other says E Titcomb from her sister Priscilla.  These 2 names coincide with the daughters of Paul Titcomb, son of  General Titcomb  The pin says Emmeline but the Sewell geneology says Emeline..an engravers mistake?
Does anyone  know  anything about these 2 sisters or can anyone provide any more  information?

Frederick James Kealiimahiai Titcomb
Frederick James Kealiimahiai Titcomb, a retired District Court judge  and former Honolulu deputy prosecuting attorney, died Friday, March 10,  2000 in Honolulu. He was 77. Born in Honolulu, Titcomb was a descendant  of early U.S. settlers. He also was of Hawaiian and Chinese ancestry and  his great-great-grandfather, sugar plantation owner Charles Titcomb,  married into Hawaiian royalty. Frederick Titcomb graduated from St.  Louis High School and was a student at Washington State College when the  United States entered World War II in 1941. He dropped out of college  to enlist in the Army and served in New Guinea and the Philippines.  Titcomb earned a Purple Heart and two Bronze Star medals for his combat  service. After the war, he returned to Washington State College and then  attended Cornell University. He married, and he and his first wife,  Norma, returned to Hawaii. The couple would later divorce. The family  moved to San Francisco in 1953 so Titcomb could pursue a legal education  at the University of California’s Hastings College of Law. To put  himself through school and to support his family, Titcomb worked as a  warehouseman, trucker, door-to-door salesman and night janitor at  Hastings. After graduating, he returned to Hawaii and worked as a law  clerk for Judge Jon Wiig. In 1956, he went to work as a city prosecutor,  where he won more than 40 consecutive jury convictions. In 1960,  Titcomb ran as a Republican against Dan Inouye for a seat in the U.S.  House of Representatives. Inouye won by a nearly 3-to-1 vote and two  years later was elected to the Senate. In 1962, Titcomb was named a  Honolulu District Court judge. In addition to practicing law, Titcomb  was a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild and was frequently seen on  "Hawaii Five-0." In 1983, Titcomb married Marcia Vander Zicht, who was  his nurse after open-heart surgery.
