A.H. Jones, a Brief Comment



A.H. Jones, 1843 - 1922

The following is the note about Alfred Hines Jones found on a family tree posted by one Kristin Ingram almost ten years ago. The data is no longer shared by the lady. She is a distant cousin living in Oregon and she can be found by Googling the name Kristin Ingram Johnson.
Her information was extensive and thanks to a heads up from Mike and Louanne ten years ago I was able to download her data. This data is really the core of the long Jones and Moulder line that I currently have captured in my software.


Co. E. 4th Georgia Calvary for the Confederate Army, changed later in the war to 12th Regiment, Georgia Cavalry.


4th (Avery's) Cavalry Regiment was formed with eleven companies in January, 1863, using Avery's 23rd Georgia Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. It served for a time with the Conscript Department in Tennessee, then was assigned to J.J. Morrison's, C.C. Crews', and Iverson's Brigade. The regiment participated in the Chickamauga


, Knoxville, and Atlanta Campaigns, skirmished in Northern Georgia and East Tennessee, and took part in the defense of Savannah. In January, 1865, the unit was reorganized and called the 12th Cavalry. It went on to fight in the Carolinas and surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. The field officers were Colonel Isaac W. Avery, Lieutenant Colonel William L. Cook, and Majors D. Jackson Owen and Augustus R. Stewart.

Please keep checking this file. It's a work in progress, and may have errors in it, but this is the information I have. Kristen Ingram
