Keeping
Up With The Jones  |

Welcome
to my genealogy homepage.
I have been interested
in genealogy for about
26 years. I am a native
Texan and love living
among the pine trees.
The surname Jones is
a hard name to research
since it is such a
common name. I have
hopes that someone
will see this page
and contact me with
information that will
help me and that in
turn I can help them
with information I
have.
My
gggrandfather was James
Jones. He was born
in 1822 in Alabama.
He married Ellen
Frances Hicks who
was born in 1828 in
Georgia. Ellen died
in 1902 in Columbia
Co., Ark. and is buried
in Shongaloo Cemetery,
Webster Parish, La.
They had four children:
Savanna, Titus Taswell
(my ggrandfather),
Ellen and William "Willie".
James
enlisted in Co. E,
2nd Georgia Cavalry
Regiment in 1862 at
Griffin, Ga. for the
Civil War. In October
of 1863 he was captured
at Sugar Creek. He
was taken first to
Louisville, Ky. and
then to Camp Morton
Indiana on October
21, 1863. He died there
as a POW on March 10,
1864 of erysipelas. Sometime
after the war, James
Jones and the other
1615 soldiers that
died at Camp Morton
were transferred to
Greenlawn Cemetery
in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Unfortunately this
was not a permanent
resting place for the
soldiers remains. The
cemetery became abandoned
and neglected due to
the fact that the White
River bordered the
cemetery. Erosion became
a major factor and
many of the graves
were in danger of washing
away. In October, 1931,
the bodies of the soldiers
were moved to a common
grave in Crown Hill
Cemetery. A marker
at the spot is inscribed "Remains
of 1616 unknown Confederate
Soldiers that died
at Indianapolis while
prisoners of war".
This marker is somewhat
misleading since the
names are known. There
is a marker at the
old Greenlawn Cemetery
(now Garfield Park)
that lists the names
of the soldiers.
I
am looking for any
information about James
Jones parents and
siblings AND about Frances
Ellen Hicks parents
and siblings. If you
have any knowledge
of them or think that
they might connect
to your family line
in any way please contact
me.
I
have quite a few old photos
of family which I would
like to share with those
of you that
are interested. Sadly, I also have quite a few old photos that I cannot
identify. I have hopes
that someone will come along and tell me who they are, and even claim a few of
them.
