Individual Details

Alonzo "Lon" Amos B. Porterfield

(Abt, 1858 - 1940)

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Alonzo Porterfield's tombstone shows a birth date of 1861, but he is shown as 2 years old on the 1860 census. The census should be more accurate, and could not have been included if he had not been born. I am assuming that Amanda Porterfield is the wife of Alonzo Porterfield as their graves are next to each other and they are of about the same age.)
