Hi, Gayel: Sorry, I'm no help to you on your question about James Jones, but wanted to respond since my great-great-grandfather, Francis Berry, also fought in the Black Hawk War. I don't have my materials available, but I think he was in something called the Odd Battalion of Spies (maybe under an officer named Whitesides?). I think Berry also enlisted at Edwardsville. Can't remember if it was the 1831 or the 1832 war (or both). But since learning this about my ancestor, I've become very interested in the Black Hawk War and have been looking for information about it. My ancestor died in 1833 in Madison Co., but I don't know much more about him. The family moved to southwestern Missouri shortly thereafter, except for one son, David Berry, who stayed a few years longer. I don't know if Francis died from wounds or what. I also don't know where he would have fought during the war. I think he may have mustered out in Rock Island. Francis (a veteran of the War of 1812) and his family moved to Madison Co. about 1828 from Jefferson Co., TN. I noticed the name of John Day (possibly the same John Day who was the brother of Francis' wife, Esther Day) among those listed on the roster of the Black Hawk War. I would be interested in any information about the Black Hawk War. Thanks. Pauline Hale
