Jefferson Davis Parish was formed from Calcasieu Parish in 1913. Below are all the Pitre occurrences within the 1920 census of Jefferson Davis Parish. Omissions are either the enumerator’s fault or mine. Any errors in transcription are mine. Some entries were easy to read, some were barely distinguishable scribbles.

I have attempted to copy the entry as written. The ‘probably’ column is my judgment as to the identity of the family. Census gathered from January through April. More detailed information on the family is found within the Pitre Descendant Tree itself.
