William and Mary P. Jones Civil War Letter Collection

Images of the William and Mary Jones Civil War letter collection

Notice:

This page is still under construction, but exciting updates are forthcoming! Over time, we’ll be adding detailed images of the original notes, drawings, envelopes, and stationery connected to this collection. Be sure to check back often as the page continues to grow!

Here are images of the letters and envelopes. These images are copyrighted and may not be downloaded or used in any way without the express written permission from the Cynthian-Harrison County Trust Inc.

Of note: William and Mary often change the names they used to refer to each other, such as Molly instead of Mary and Billy instead of William. And spelling conventions were not as they are today, so place names are sometimes phonetically spelled.
