Notes

When asked in his Union Civil War pension application how to spell his last name, he replied, 'Some people spell my name Parton and some Partain. I do not know which is correct. I'm no scholar.'

He was six feet, two and one half inches tall with black hair and blue eyes.

Buried in Chris Parton Cemetery.
