You are aware there are several versions concerning Jones death-KIA April 6,1865,severly wounded and died 3 days later,etc.Lt. Robert S. Jones suffered sever wounds at the Battle of Salyers Creek on April 6, 1865. On his headstone he died on April 9, 1865 and was buried.
The Battle of Saylers Creek was the end for the Army of Northern Virginia and DIXIE.Many extra units were called in by Lee for this,what became,the final fight for the CSA.It was a confusing time in Virginia,especially in Dannville,April 3-10,1865.
