Catalogue Note: John Robert Jones (1827-1901) was born in Rockingham Co. and graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1848. Afterward, he became a teacher until the outbreak of the Civil War. Upon enlisting, he raised a volunteer company, the Rockingham Confederates, which later became Company I of the 33rd Virginia Infantry. Initially commissioned as a captain, he quickly rose in rank and eventually commanded a brigade in the Stonewall Division. After several injuries and questions of competency, he was relieved of his command. Jones was taken prisoner on July 4, 1863, and spent the rest of the war in prison. After the war, he returned to Rockingham Co. and became an agricultural merchant and county official.
