Notes

  • Alphonso's WWI draft registration says he was born in Goldthwaite, Texas.

    "Goldthwaite (established 1885) is a small city located in Mills County in Central Texas. The population was 1,802 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Mills County, which is named for John T. Mills, a justice of the Supreme Court for the Third, Seventh, and Eighth districts of the former Republic of Texas. Goldthwaite is located in the western portion of the Texas Hill Country. The elevation is 1,580 feet. Goldthwaite is situated at the intersections of U.S. Highways 84 and 183, Texas State Highway 16, and Texas Farm-to-Market Roads 572 and 574."

    In the 1920 census, Alphonso is enumerated in the household of his brother Joseph William Terry in Coke County, Texas.  He is reported as a widower, but I have not found information about his marriage or his first wife's name.  There were apparently no children from the first marriage.  I have not found any information about any children from this marriage.
