What do you know? Only five General Jones! (To go back to the end of the last post.)
 David Rumph Jones (Nickname: "Neighbor")  John Robert Jones  William Edmonson Jones (Nickname: "Grumble") |  John Marshall Jones (Nickname: "Rum")  Samuel Jones |
General Thomas Jordan was apparently in charge of some Confederate espionage and (according to Wiki) Rose O'Neal Greenhow's, I quote, "handler". Very interesting...
 Not only did General William Kirkland have a rather funny middle name "Whedbee", he was married to General William Hardee's niece, Sarah. Moving on to a different general--there was a Union AND Confederate General James Henry Lane. From a quick glance at their records it appears they were in different theaters. I don't know how very helpful that might be, but I suppose it could have gotten a wee bit confusing if they were opposite on another. | General John H. Kelly--age 23 when promoted to Brigadier General. Age twenty-four when he was mortally wounded and died at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee.  |
I really like his name: Evander McIver Law.
There were six general Lees:
 Edwin Gray Lee  George Washington Custis Lee (R.E. Lee's eldest son)  Stephen Dill Lee (the only one Gen'l Lee not born in Virginia. He was from SC.) |  Fitzhugh Lee (R.E. Lee's nephew)  No caption needed--THE General Robert Edward Lee  William Henry Fitzhugh Lee (Or "Rooney". R.E. Lee's son.) |
The faithful Mrs. R.E. Lee
I'll leave you with the Lee's this evening....
