Co.D 33rd IL Inf

*My information is from a tombstone inscription done by a member of the Sangamon County Genealogical Society. The info is only as good as their ability to read the stone.

The military information for Haskin Jones states that he was buried in a cemetery in Edinburg but in 1971 his stone was in this cemetery.
