==========================
-
There is confusion about this family because of another family in the 1900 census.
* There are many discrepancies between these familys:
- Tobias' mother's name is Lucinda, not Elizabeth
(and his father Elisha had no wife named Elizabeth)
- Tobias' mother -- Lucinda -- is living in St. Landry parish in 1900
- Elizabeth, the mother, can't be Ophelia's mother as her name is Angelina
- birth dates are all different
- children's names
- Tobias is widowed in 1910
- Ophelia is widowed in 1910
-
The failure to find two Tobias Whittingtons in 1880 or 1900 censuses seems to imply these are the same person and the 1900 census is simply very incorrect.
