George W. Jones

He enlisted and mustered as a Private in Parker's Richmond Battery, Light Artillery on 14 March 1862 in Richmond.

At Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862:

The fight commenced at break of day, and by sunrise the smoke of battle hung like a pall over the scene of conflict. Men and horses fall in rapid succession ... The charge in one of the guns explodes prematurely and sends its "rammer" whizzing over to the enemy, at the same time burning and almost blinding dauntless George Jones, who even then will not leave his post.

He was captured with the battery at Harper's Farm, VA on 6 April 1865 and held at Point Lookout, MD until released on 14 June 1865 after taking an oath of allegiance.
