Following is information I've found on Edmund Jones. Edmund is the son of John Jones Sr. o f Harlan
Co., KY, and father of Nimrod Jones. Nimrod fought in the Civil War for the Kentucky 8th USA
Infantry.
Capt. Edmund Jones formed a Company, mainly comprised of men from Laurel Co., Kentucky, in Oc t.,
1861. This Company was officially mustered into the Kentucky 24th Infantry Regiment as Compan y H in
Dec., 1861. This regiment was involved in the Civil War battle which took place at Pittsburg h Landing,
Tennessee, better known as Shiloh. A couple weeks after the battle, Edmund being very ill, w as placed on
the Steamship "D. A. January," on April 29, 1862. Edmund was accompanied by William Champlin,
Orderly for Co. H., who was also ill. On April 30th, Champlin was ordered off the DA Januar y and was
placed on another steamboat. Mr. Champlin later reported that Capt. Jones was gravely ill whe n he left
him and he did not believe Capt. Jones could possibly live more than 24 hours. He further sta ted Capt.
Jones had his trunk with him containing military clothing, a sword, sash and pistol.
After Mr. Champlin left the D A January, no further record could be found regarding Capt. Jon es. Several
letters were written to the Army, by Edmund's widow, Frances, asking the whereabouts of her h usband.
She must have received notice of Edmund's illness or injury. He never made it home.
The Army granted a pension to Frances, and from the facts the Army gathered, determined Edmun d
probably died on May 1, 1862, in or near Hamburg, Tennessee, and that he died while in the se rvice of his
country.
I found sites on the Internet stating that within 24 hours after the battle of Shiloh , 4 - 5 hospital ships
were sent to Pittsburgh Landing to transport the wounded to makeshift hospitals. The D A Janu ary was
used to transport wounded to Hamburg, Tennessee.
Hamburg, Tennessee is located on the Tennessee River, approx. 5 - 10 miles from Shiloh by boa t. I found
the following in Goodspeeds History of Hardin County Tennessee regarding Hamburg:
ïø½The Government after the close of the war had all the bodies of those who fell at Shiloh an d who died in
hospitals in the surrounding country disinterred and reburied in the National Cemetery at th e old battle
ground. The grounds cover about fifteen acres, which are enclosed by a stone wall. The enclos ure
contains the graves of about 3,000 soldiers. These, as far as known, are marked in division s according to
State and by regiments, which is indicated by a small plain head stone. The others are marked
"unknown." Just beyond the cemetery lie the remains of about 2,000 Confederate dead. The cont rast
between the two burial places is very striking. The former is well kept and furnished with ev erything
attractive; the latter is marked by decay, and is a sad picture to the friends of the fallen. ïø½
I have previously checked with Shiloh National Park, which has record of those soldiers burie d on this
site. Edmund was not mentioned. Very possible Edmund is one of those buried in the unknown gr aves.
