From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
