Elfer
Maurice Helfer (ca.1741-1824) moved from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to St. Charles Parish, Louisiana before 1770. He was probably married about 1768 to Maria Madelaine Haupman in St. Charles des Allemands Church in St. Charles Parish. He chiefly spelled his surname "Elfer," though the earliest church records of some of his children show Helffer or Helfre. The family later moved to Plattenville, Assumption Parish, Louisiana. Descendants and relatives lived in Louisiana, Georgia and elsewhere.
