In the summer of 1831, as part of the Sac and Fox (or 1st Black Hawk) War, James JONES served as a private in the company of Captain John P. Larance (or Lawrence), under Major Nathaniel Buckmaster in the Odd Battalion of Mounted Volunteers, Duncan's Brigade. He enlisted in Edwardsville, as did other members of the company. Does anyone know anything about this James JONES? I am trying to decide whether or not he is my ggrandfather, who was born about 1800 and became a lead miner in Wisconsin. He said he fought in 3 wars, and I know he was a Captain of his own Company in Iowa County, WI in 1832. Any information on this James JONES would be very much appreciated.
