George E. Pettifield & Annise E. Upchurch Louisiana Family
George E. Pettifield
In relative terms, the Pettifield family is small. Many in the family were residents of Calcasieu Parish. While some still live there, many have moved to other parts of the country.
This family begins with George Emmitt Pettifield who was born in 1885 South of New Iberia, LA in Jeanerette, LA. George was adopted by Joseph U. Petitfils and Marie Devolin. In a story passed down by one of George E. Pettifield’s descendants, his mother died when George was very young, and the father admitted that he could not care for the child. He was grateful that the Joseph U. Petitfils family would take him into their home. George E. Pettifield grew up with adoped sibilings, Mary Louise, John R. and Anatale Petitfils. As the story is told, George Emmitt Pettifield’s last name was Johnson.
George E. Pettifield married Annise Eula Upchurch in 1907. He died in 1949 in Houston, TX. Nine children were born to this couple. Charles George (1908), Elaine (1909), William (1911), Inez (1912), Herbert (1913), Doris (1918), Vernette (1922), Cecil (1925), and Donald (1928), all born in DeQuincy, LA.
While the book includes information on all the above, more family information and more photos was available on the Charles G. Pettifield and Grace Parker family.
