My Father, Lonnie Joseph Whitfield, was a cousin ofMarie Eliska Whitfield and visited with her from time to time; last being near San Antonio, I believe.
Is there oral family history as to why Eliska's parents went to St. Tammany Parish to be married? I'm assuming it was an elopement. However, surely there must have been a relative on one side or the other that assisted them to go so far away from Plaucheville, La. Any assistance on the line of William Whitfield would be greatly appreciated.
