Thanks for tracking this down for me. I'll send an email. The gentleman at the NA referenced someone making an application but I've never found one. The family never passed down any information. My great-grandfather was only 4 when his father died. The older siblings weren't much older. I doubt anyone ever knew. They lived above Rome where there were additional raids after Atlanta so I think they probably left not long after Henry passed through or they got word I guess.

Thank you again for your help. I've been able to compile a fair amount after I determined where he was. Jones is a fairly hard name to trace if you have no historical background to begin with.

A remaining mystery is Henry and Annie's oldest son, Jeremiah (or Jerry). He was about 17 or so in 1864. I haven't found him in the 1864 census of men available for duty (or whatever it was called) so I wonder if he was killed during the War as well. He is not with the Joneses in Union County in 1870 or near them with his own family.

That's not as high on the list but still an unsolved mystery.
