This won't help you but may someone else searching for Whitfields in OK.I have little actual record and am working from memory.Fred and Bryan Whitfield and their sister Mildred were from East Texas, born over one hundred years ago.Last I heard of Mlldred's line they were in Big Sandy, TX.Fred had no offspring and passed away in Dallas in the '60's.Bryan was prodigous, he married Jennie Fancher from AR and they settled in Oklahoma City in the 1910's.Bryan died in CA in the late 30's or early 40's.I can't remember all of the offspring but the ones that survived to have families were:
Fred Junior Whitfield (my step-dad)
Walt Whitfield (now in CA)
Wilber Whitfield (CA)
Marie Whitfield Mosely (CA)
Jerold Lloyd Whitfield (OKC)
Bill Whitfield (deceased in CA)
There also were:
Lucille Whitfield(deceased in RI)
June Whitfield Osborn (deceased in CA)
The kids grew up in OKC off of West Reno near today's fairgrounds.
This intrepid family moved from OK to CA during the dustbowl of the depression.When I see or read "Grapes of Wrath" I think of these people and remember some of the stories they told us.
