He and wife, Sarah A. Henry Jones, had a daughter Rebecca A. who was born in Beaufort @ 1855. Can't find any records until after 1874. I know most of Beaufort's records burned. Anybody have any ideas for an alternative source? >> Holiday Greetings from SC. I checked "Broken Fortunes" for you but he wasn't listed. That doesn't mean he didn't die in the Civil War but it does list about 18,000 SC CW dead. My next suggestion would be to check cemetary records for the area. URQ
