On August 30, 1864, John Jasper joined the Union Army and was enrolled as a private in Company C, 43rd Regiment of Infantry under George M. Brown with the Federal Troops. His brother, Nelson was stationed at the bridge near Grindstone Falls to guard the bridge from destruction by fire from the Confederate troops making their way North from Lexington.
