Walter T. Jones

Walter T. Jones was born in 1840.

Walter was 21-year-old and probably living in Muskegon County, Michigan, when he enlisted in Company H on May 13, 1861. (Company H, formerly the “Muskegon Rangers,” was made up largely of men from the vicinity of Muskegon and Newaygo counties.) He may have been a Corporal when he was wounded on August 29, 1862, at Second Bull Run, and was subsequently sick in the hospital from August of 1862 through May of 1864.

There is no further record, and no pension seems to be available.
