Calvin Fay Jones son of Noyes and Susan Jones

As the Jones saga continues, we will jump to child number 5, awaiting data on 1. Henry George's line from his descendant. 2.  Noel dcd young no lineage, 3.Arvilla's will be fun, 4.William H dcd from CW and no heirs, 6.Jennie's line will be intriguing, and 7. Great Uncle Charles I felt I knew from all Grandparents said about him, so have much on them to share. Both my Dad and Uncle knew this family well.

Recapturing the data of Noyes and Susan Madison Jones of New York to Nunda, McHenry Co., Ill. to Chickasaw County area after 1865, probably closer to 1867, father Noel Jones and Susannah Jones of New York. Silas JONES Sr line., Teague Jones line.

After several campaigns, he looses his brother William Harrison and almost looses his life in Tennessee. He walks home after being nursed back to health by a Black Family that heard him moaning in the dirt after the skirmish ended and the troops had backed off. (Makes one wonder how many were not dead but were buried in the lose dirt.)

By 1868 he has moved to  Chickasaw County area, marriage to wife is in her Father's home at this address. Butler, Butler Co. Iowa.  5 July 1868. I have copy of certificate.

The irony of some of his dedication to his country was, he was given a Pension when he came back from Tennessee and then 8 weeks or so later he re enlists. Losing everything for a Pension. My file is full of the letters that it took for neighbors, family and friends to write to verify he was who he was and why he deserved a Pension which he finally started receiving late in the 1890's near as I can figure.
What a shame he could have had it from 1868 on.
