Jones County Courthouse, Gray, Georgia

Across the street from the cemetery is the county courthouse and the county fallen war memorial. Over one million fallen soldiers. 1,157,487 from the Revolutionary War to Iraq 2001. Civil War was the greatest loss. Over 498,000 citizens of this county died in the Civil War? This seems really high because, supposedly, there were only 750,000 total deaths in the war. I doubt there were even 498,000 people who lived in Jones County. Gray, Ga Population 28,000 in 2022. I think, based on prior research with my siblings, that my great great grandfather died in the Civil War. I'll have to refresh my memory on this. This is one of the reasons why I blog... poor memory.Okumaya devam et
