George Washington Jones' pension record states he enlisted in the 35th Al. Reg. Company C. at Lagrange in 1861.His officers were Goodwin and Captain Alvey Ashford. He applied for pension in Giles Cnty. Tn. in 1901, He moved to Tn @ 1869 or 70. Lived there until he drowned in 1904. I visited Moulton, Al in early 1990' someone that lived there droveto house in Moulton ,explained ,though it-- now a residence, that during civil war it wasa hospital. I have no verification other than that statement. In Mr. Jones pension record, he states that he was at hospital in Moulton. Since he is not on roster I found listed by Linda Green, I assume he was in hospital most of the time. However, if he enlisted in 61 and was left at hospital in 64, he must have seen some action. According to his pension request and reply from the War department states as follows: There are no rolls on file in this office of the 35th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army. The prisoner-of-war records show, however, that a G.W.Jones, of the 35th Alabama---,Confederate States Army, was exchanged December 2,1862, Near Vicksburg, Mississippi. No further record of him has been found. He did receive a pension. and I wonder that since he enlised in 61, in hospital 64, could this have been. him? Thank you for any help, I have hit a brick wall. Wilma Jean Jones
Hello All, Have researched my McNeal AL Civil War member with your help but I think he walked out of Rock Island and lost his way home as I have never found him since. Nonetheless, can someone tell me if there is a rootsweb or other list for World War I. I am trying to find information on someone from MA. Thank you. Will/Elaine Sharp
