Message Board Post:
Solomon Chamberlain knew Brigham Young and his brother Lorenzo Dow well before they became
Mormon converts. They were all acquainted through the Methodist Church and it's camp
meetings. Lorenzo and Brigham stayed with Solomon at his home in upstate New York on the
way home from a camp meeting and Chamberlain spent the whole night expounding on the Book
of Mormon. Shortly after that they joined the Church of Christ (LDS).
So, it is possible that Alonzo is Lorenzo and that the scribe who copied Solomon's
memoir miswrote the name.
