this is a great site!!! Nancy

"Jones and his companion who was shot through the body, were placed side by side on the straw in the car, weak from pain and loss of blood, exposure and hunger - for not a mouthful had he to eat after early breakfast for twenty-two hours. Arriving in City Point at sunrise, his first thought was of the wounded comrade sleeping by his side, placing his hand on his face to awaken him, only to discover him cold in death. At City Point, Mr Jones was placed in a dirty barracks hospital, crowded with wounded soldiers; there he was neglected, not receiving proper attention, and during the four days there, gangrene set in his wounds. He was then transferred on a hospital boat down the James River to Baltimore, Md., and there placed in the United States Jarvis Hospital, where eminent surgeons examined his wounds and discovered that gangrene was fast penetrating two of his wounds; but they said, "we will do our best to pull you through; first it will be necessary to give them the black wash and put you under the influence of chloroform." "Don't bother about the chloroform, doctor," said Jones, "but if you say the black wash is the remedy, go ahead, I can bear it." The black wash was applied, the poor agonized soldier looked down and saw the cloud of smoke arising from the burning out of his side wounds. While he winced and bit his lip. Nurses were ordered to watch over him day and night; the surgeons in charge pronounced him a hopeless case; they didn't believe he would live three days, but he disappointed them; they didn't know the unfaltering courage and iron constitution of the young soldier; but the following two weeks he was unconscious. He lay right there on the same bed on his back for four months, and the first month with his left foot suspended. In June before he was able to stand on his feet he was transferred, at his request, on a stretcher with a squad of Wisconsin soldiers from the same hospital, to Milwaukee, Wis., his home state; there he was placed in the Bethlehem Home Hospital. About the 1st of July he was able to move about a little on crutches in the hospital. Just as he expected to get outdoor air he came down with a hard case of regular smallpox, and for a month he was kept three miles out in the county pesthouse. His regiment had long been mustered out of service. Shortly after returning from the pesthouse to the hospital, Mr. Jones applied for and received an honorable discharge, for reason of wounds received in line of battle; then in August 1865, on crutches he returned to his home at Hudson, Wis., one of the last of his regiment to be welcomed by the dear ones at home. Sergeant Jones is a pensioner since 1865. (written in 1912) Connie

"These two kind and nearly exhausted soldiers started on the journey through the woods to the battlefield hospital, carrying the wounded comrade, who was suffering untold agony; they took the wrong trail and lost the way, and it was after 9 o'clock when they reached the field hospital. This was a rough place where burning fence rails were piled in circles, with straw placed a few feet back, around the fire circle. It was on that straw the poor wounded soldiers were laid; close in was a long table of two planks, on which each one, when his number was called, was placed, to be sawed, knifed, or to have his wounds dressed. For three hours before his turn came, Sergeant Jones lay on the straw watching the surgeons cut and saw off arms and legs and dress wounds. At 12 o'clock midnight, Sergeant Jones was laid on the table; the surgeons looked at his wounds and shook their heads and said the left foot better come off. The wounded soldier hotly replied, you will not remove that foot; all I came here for is for you to dress my three wounds and do it just as quick as you can, and give me a little chance to rest. Then they told him it would be necessary to give him chloroform while they were dressing his wounds; he said never mind the chloroform, go ahead, but he twitched and groaned when they roughly see-sawed the bandages through his wounds to clean them out, cut the ragged edges and removed the splintered bones. When through, he was carried back into the regimental tent, and laid on some straw where many of his comrades lay, each regiment having their own field hospital. Along the line, at 2 o'clock several ambulances came. Jones was carried out on a stretcher and placed in one of them by the side of a soldier shot through the body; other ambulances were filled with wounded soldiers who were able to sit up; they were soon off for the twelve-mile drive over a new and frozen rough road through the woods, which was another test of Sergeant Jones' endurance. Arriving at the railroad switch track, the wounded soldiers were placed in freight cars in rows on straw." To be continued.............Connie

Is any one researching Samuel Jones who was born 1796 and married Narcissa Tate? He lived in Georgia. Nancy This could be something I would be interested in. My great-grandfather was William Louis Jones b. 1862 in GA but he is as far back as I have on this line. Is there a possible connection? Brenda --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

"Sergeant Jones replied to carry him on the guns; then guns were quickly laid one on each side of him, throwing his arms over one end, and his legs over the other end of the guns; with a man at each end, they continued their hasty retreat, the four soldiers relieving each other every now and then, with the wounded soldier's body hanging down between the guns in loop fashion. The ordeal caused him intense pain and suffering, but he still insisted that he preferred the suffering than to be left to fall into the hands of the Confederates; in this agonizing position he was carried a mile, through brush and over fallen trees, with the enemy in hot pursuit. Just before reaching Hatcher's Run, they met the relief army, the 6th and 9th army corps, advancing double quick to halt the incoming rebels. After a savage skirmish they drove the rebels back to their fortifications and held their ground. The Union Army's loss was 1292 killed and wounded, 180 missing. The confederates' loss was 1200 killed and wounded. On arriving a Hatcher's Run River with the wounded comrade they found the bridge blockaded, and after securing a stretcher on which they placed the wounded comrade, they started to wade across the river and were soon in water up to their necks. In the middle of the river, with the stretcher on their shoulders, one of the bearers stepped into a hole and went down out of sight, tilting the stretcher, throwing the wounded soldier in the swift current/ down he went out of sight; coming up some distance below; one of the bearers who was an expert swimmer caught him just as he was sinking, then floating the stretcher down under him, and dipping him up out of the water, they slid it on their shoulders, and proceeded to the opposite shore. It was then getting dark and freezing cold; two of the faithful carriers were ordered back across the river. Within ten minutes after getting out of the river, his clothes rattled with ice; he was trembling and chilled to the freezing point. Those left in charge of him striped their coats and put over him. They still had a mile and a half to carry the poor unfortunate comrade, who was fast losing strength, but he had an unlimited amount of courage." To be continued...............Connie

Ellen Emma Crewson was born on May 25, 1858 at Crewson's Corners, On. Canada, her mother, Emma Collom sailed to Canada from London in January of 1854. I have pictures of both in their wedding attire. My grandmother is still living and remembers her grandparents well. Ellen Emma (who went by Emma) was only married once. Her family went into the mining business in Colorado, which is why they left Canada. Emma Jones is buried beside her husband in the Paducah, KY cemetery. John Wiley Jones' father, Wiley Jones, was born in 1815 in TN, but I don't know where. He moved to IL before marrying Minerva Garrett in Pope Co., IL in 1842. I would love to know more about the family of Wiley Jones. I am having trouble finding leads for obvious reasons. How many Wiley Joneses do you suppose there have been?

Connie, What a wonderful story. I wish I had as much information on my Jones side. Nancy

"To let go, so helpless, would be to go down with the current. All of a sudden the army having exhausted their supply of ammunition, were ordered back in great haste; he heard the troops coming, saw some of the comrades cross the creek above him and some just below him, expecting every moment in their haste and excitement by their jumping into the water he would be struck by the retreating forces. As he heard the continuous firing and connonading, and shouting from the oncoming rebels, he begged and pleaded with all his strength to the retreating comrades to take him to the rear, though he died in the attempt on the way, to take his body, and not allow him to fall into the hands of the rebels; many replied if they stopped to take him they would e captured or lose their own lives. Finally as the rear column was swiftly passing an officer moving close to him, hearing his pitiful cries, then recognized Sergeant Jones; quickly he commanded a squad of soldiers crossing the creek to assist him in taking the wounded soldier along; appealing more earnestly, he induced four comrades to turn and assist, jumping back into the stream up to their waists, they drew a rubber blanket under the wounded soldier; after lifting him out of the water, with one hold of each corner, the four men started on a double quick with the retreating forces, carrying their precious charge in the gun blanket. The oncoming revels kept up a constant firing and yelling as they advanced nearer to them; they had gone perhaps a quarter of a mile through the woods, underbrush and over logs, when a minnie ball struck the wounded soldier's back, inflicting a painful wound, and ripping the gun blanket, causing him to fall through upon the frozen ground. There were frantic appeals from the three times wounded soldier, to be carried along and escapt capture, but it seemed impossible; they had no way to carry him." The author has some of the longest run-on sentences that I have ever typed. To be continued............Connie

There is also around Pruitt Maryland a place called Archie Jones Road. Mine were from around Ocean City Maryland so this is not all that far away.

Doesn't anyone have Jones in northwestern Pa.? Harry

Whoa, Cathie.....not so fast....go after your grandmother's family, or her mother's family. We all have thousands of grandparents. In fact, we could do this forever and never finish. By the way, who was Thomas' wife. I have a Tina Smith Jones in my family, so I was wondering if there was a connection. ------------------------------------------------ Changed your e-mail?

"The fighting had assumed a terrific onslaught from the pouring of shot and shell from the Confederates' fortifications; after Jones had discharged thirty-eight rounds with his Springfield rifle, Jones received a gunshot wound from the enemy's breastworks, a minnie ball passing straight through his left foot, felling him to the ground; he suddenly raised himself and hobbled on one foot to a tree, leaning against it for support. He continued firing several more rounds, then becoming weak and faint he turned to hop a few steps to a small stream for water; as he did so, the explosion of a bomb shell from the Confederates' fortifications blew Sergeant Jones high in the air, landing him on his back thirty feet distant, on the frozen ground, on the elevated bank across the creek; comrades hurried to his aid, finding him unconscious and blood gushing from his side, which was mutilated in a terrible manner. After examining him they passed on, reporting their comrade dead, the shell cutting a ghastly hole in his right side, tearing a large portion of his hip bone away - but he was only unconscious. Jones thought, when the shell struck him, that he was cut literally in two, but when he came to, he was surprised to find that he had only lost part of his right hip and was awake to the fact that the shot and shell were flying thick, ploughing the ground around him, one ball bearing through the sleeve of his coat, and a bombshell whistling through the air, striking the ground close to him, throwing flakes of frozen dirt on him. Realizing he was in imminent danger, being in direct line of the enemy's artillery and sharpshooters, although completely paralyzed from his waist down, yet with his energy and will power, he reached his hands over his shoulders, with his head upturned clinching to the grass, frozen hubbles and twigs; in this manner he pulled himself on his back, head first, down to the bank of the creek; he was still in danger. In order to further shield himself, with his head turned up stream, he caught hold of a weeping willow limb overhanging the water, then pulled until his wounded and paralyzed body and limbs rolled into the swift current of the stream; there he clung with one hand with a deathly grip to the willow twig, and the other hand under his head holding it up to keep his mouth and nose above the water, while the gushing stream of icy water swayed his wounded body to and fro. It was a terrible shock, and risk, to gain a place of safety, from the firing line, and as time passed on, growing weak and numb in the icy water, what could he do? To be continued.........Connie

By J.A. Watrous, Adjutant-General Iron Brigade. "GEORGE RUSSELL JONES (II), son of Sterling and Elizabeth Jones, enlisted in the Union Army, 5 Nov 1863, at La Crosse, Wis.; after a course or preliminary drilling and army tactics at Camp Randall, Madison, Wis., he was transferred to Fortress Monroe, Md., where he did guard duty; later he was transferred to City Point, Virginia. >From City Point, Comrade Jones was sent with a squad of Wisconsin recruits to the front, and was assigned to Co. A, 6th Regt. Infy. Wisconsin Volunteers 3rd (the famous Iron Brigade), 5th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, Gen. Warren in command. The 2nd , 6th and 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana and 24th Michigan regiments composed the Iron Brigade, which was doing service along the line fronting Petersburg, VA. After a rigid training of squad drilling and front picket duty, Mr. Jones participated in the battles that followed, viz.: Stony Creek-Warrens, six days' raid on the Weldon railroad, destroying twenty miles of track and telegraph lines, which served communication between Wilmington and Savannah, attacking the enemy at every point, and capturing many prisoners during the raid. He fought in the battle of Dabner Mills, and the battles of Hatcher's Run, the siege of Petersburg. In January 1865, Mr. Jones was appointed sergeant of his company. On Feb. 4th, General Warren ordered the 5th army corps out at 2 o'clock a.m. to advance and intercept confederate freight teams, hauling goods into Petersburg, as the railroads were put out of commission. During the march, they encountered marshy land overflowed by a freshet with water two to three feed deep for a quarter of a mile and frozen over; they started to walk across, but all broke through, then breaking the ice at every step, they waded across on a freezing cold day; toward evening they camped int the woods on the snow and frozen ground. Sergeant Jones was detailed with a squad from his company to join squads of other companies along the line, as scouts, and form a front picket line; they advanced close to the enemy's trenches, and soon were engaged in a lively skirmish, resulting i Sergeant Jones and his squad returning with thirty prisoners. Ninety-five wagon loads of valuable stores (goods) were captured during the raid. Nearing the close of the Rebellion, Comrade Jones was wounded three times in line of battle, when advancing on the Confederates' fortifications. fronting Petersburg. Sergeant Jones distinguished himself for bravery, when leading his company in the battle of Hatcher's Run, charging the enemy in the thickest of the fight on 6 Feb 1865."
