Karen, Your best bet would be to contact the Mississippi State Archives - Mississippi Confederate Soldiers records should be on file by unit, and you already know that he was in Co. A 11th Mississippi Infantry. The records will be on microfilm and also any widow's pension applications. Do you know if he was buried in Ashland? We have a mass grave in the Woodland Cemetery in Ashland in which approximately four hundred Confederate Soldiers are buried. There is only one marker stating that they are Confederate Unknowns, but the marker is incorrect. approximately 200 of them are known and there is a record of them at the Library of Virginia in Richmond. We had so many soldiers from our sister states die in Virginia and for many reasons they could not be sent home for burial. Many of them lie in unmarked graves in Hollywood Cemetery, Oakwood Cemetery, and Woodland Cemetery in Ashland. Many of them are known and usually their graves are marked only by a number that corresponds to their name information. If you can determine that N. Jones was buried in Virginia please let me know and I will try to locate his grave for you.
