Richard Jones - UNMARKED WAR VETERANS GRAVE

Classification: Query
I am looking for any descendant or family member of Richard Jones, born around 1844 in Waushara County, Wisconsin. He enlisted a Private into the 22nd Wisconsin Infantry on August 21, 1862 at Racine, Wisconsin.After leaving the military Richard made his way to Australia, and on February 25, 1871 he married Dinah A. Williams at Ballarat, Victoria; their first son, Walter Hall Jones, being born just over six months later on September 4th. Richard R. Jones died on December 20, 1927 and was buried in the Methodist Section of Rookwood Cemetery, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia without a head stone. With the assistance of a family member one can be acquired for him at no cost. Please contact James Gray at jamesmgray@bigpond.com. As a veteran he deserves that much.
