Timothy had a devotion to beautiful music and was an excellent musician in his own right. He was very proud of his accomplishments in business, education and love of his family heritage. The Storrs family in this country descended from Samuel Storrs, who came to Barnstable, MA from England in 1663. He settled in Mansfield in 1693.

Augustus offered 170 acres of land with building in his own native town of Mansfield. Charles offered $5,000.00 dollars in cash. By an act approved on April 21, 1881, the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut accepted the offer of the Storrs brothers and the Storrs Agriculture School was established, which is now the University of Connecticut located in the town which bears the family name. The Storrs family is also responsible for donating to the City of Hartford, the statue of Lafayette which stands in the center of Lafayette Circle near Bushnell Park in 1932.
