The Holcombe genealogy lists 10 children, an "Alonzo" as the first child. The Andrew Moore Genealogy does not list Alonzo, but both list a Chester Alonzo. It seems obvious that "Alonzo" is Chester Alonzo as there is not time between the marriage of Fidelia and Chester and the birth of Lucella for another child.
