Jones was a farmer in Buckingham County, VA when he enlisted in 1862 in Co. E of the 3rd Regiment VA Light Artillery, regiment that was dissolved and the men reallocated to different regiments. It is likely he served in local defense. Although records of his service do not appear to have survived, his 1902 application for a pension and his widow's 1909 pension application both state that he served 3 years in Captain Henry Spencer's company until surrendering in Richmond, VA. The applications are supported by prominent citizens in Buckingham County, VA and by the local Confederate veterans organization.
He returned to farming in Buckingham County, VA after the war. Jones died in September, 1908.
