I am trying to find out about Daniel Jonas. I have conflicting info on him being my great,great,great grandfather. My great, great grandfather was Ambrose Jones. Daniel had a son named Ambrose but the birth dates are different. Daniel was a civil war soldier who died in New York. In the military records it shows that Daniel Jonas and Daniel Jones both enlisted on the same day and were both killed on the same day in new york. Only I found out that Daniel died from Variola (chicken pox I think), he was a prisoner in the war. They also have the same number as far as enlistment goes. I am wondering if the name changed from Jonas to Jones! If anyone has any info on that I would appreciate it. I recently visited the military cemetery in Elmira New York and took some pictures of Daniel's headstone and the cemetery. If anyone is interested.
