From the Book
'History of Pittsfield, N. H. in the Rebellion'
by H. L. Robinson, published 1893


LEONARD JONES

was for many years one of our best known citizens. He erected a house on
Crescent street, which at that time was considered one of the best houses in
town. He and his wife were both natives of Waterford, Maine, his birthday
being May 12, 1813. They resided there until the fall of 1837, when they
removed to Pittsfield. Mr. Jones enlisted in 1861 in Company G, Seventh New
Hampshire volunteers, but the severe exposure at Manchester was too much for
him, and when the regiment reached New Jersey, he was sent to the hospital,
and discharged February 12, 1862. He died in Pittsfield, October 8, 1876.
