Jones, Tighlman Howard



Tighlman Howard Jones

Source: Thanks to Andy Rice for the submission!

I've attached a photo of Tighlman H Jones -  Civil War soldier from near Rob Roy.  Son of Joel S Jones, brother of Zighlman, 1st cousin of Levi G Jones.  This is from the book "5 days to Glory" by Sunderland.
Story goes  Tighlman snuck out of the house at night to go see a girl and got caught in the morning when his father noticed the horses had been worked. He had an argument with his dad and left to join the war, dying in Tennessee 5 days before he was to return.

He wrote 45 letters that are on Microfilm somewhere, I haven't found them digitized anywhere though:   https://www.library.illinois.edu/ihx/archon/index.php?p=collections/controlcard&id=752
