Parentage
His mother was a polygamous wife of Heber C Kimball. They married on 29 February 1845 and separated in 1848. Afterwards she married Calvin Fletcher, but then died shortly after that. After 1849 it looks like Clarrisa left the main body of Mormon Saints under Brigham Young to join the break off Mormon Sect, Cutlerites, led by her father Alpheus Cutler as evidenced by the birth and death of her young daughter. Her son remained faithful to the church in Salt Lake Valley.

Alpheus Cutler was a prominent leader in the early Mormon Church, but grew dissatisfied with the leadership of Brigham Young. He founded his own sect of Mormonism in Iowa called the Cutlerites.

Mormon Bishop
Alonzo was the son of LDS apostle Heber C. Kimball, a resident of Iron and Millard Counties and a prominent LDS bishop and church leader.
