Heinrich Jonas served in the 7th Mounted Confederate Volunteers of the Gustav Hoffmann Unit Company B from New Braunfels, Texas. This company was then enrolled in the 6th Regiment of Texas Mounted Volunteers at Camp Sibley , near San Antonio, October 8, 1861, and was a unit in the 3700-man Arizona Brigade of Gen.

He enrolled in Capt. Gustav Hoffmann’s Company on September 28, 1861, at New Braunfels, and joined the regiment on October 8, 1861, bringing a horse twenty-four miles to the rendezvous. He was in Sibley’s Brigade that marched to New Mexico. A company muster roll notes that he lost his horse and saddle on April 6, 1862, when the unit abandoned Santa Fe. The Battle of Peralta, New Mexico, occurred April 15, 1862, when Union troops underCol. Canby caught up with the retreating Confederate column at Peralta village leading to an inconclusive sharp fight; Capt. Hoffmann’s Company B was involved. Later he participated in the fightingin Louisiana. He received a minie-ball injury of the knee when captured at Fort Pratt on November 20, 1863. Federal forces under Maj. Gen. Franklin arrived about daylight, shot the sentries, and cameupon the Confederates by surprise, surrounding them completely. Captured were twelve officers and one hundred enlisted men (U.S. War Dept. 1889. Series 1, vol. 26, part 1, chap. 38, 346–347). Afterthe war the 1870 U.S. Census locates confectioner Henry and his brother Herman in Philadelphia in the household of sign-maker Joseph Jonas. By 1880, he was back in Comal County, living in the household of Herman and Dorothea Jonas. According to a 2011 Find a Grave entry by Linda Mullin, Heinrich was a bachelor who lived near his brother Hermann; he died about 1900 in mysterious circumstances, possibly a robbery-murder, with no body ever found (“Early German Settlers Built Four-Story Stone Ranch Home,” New Braunfels Zeitung, April 10, 1965).&lt;br&gt;Tod: 1890 - Smithson Valley,Comal, Texas, United States&lt;br&gt;Erdbestattung: No Gravestone or place of Burial&lt;br&gt;Beruf: Cattle Drive&lt;br&gt;Beruf: US Mail Carrier - Zwischen 1858 und 1859&lt;br&gt;Eltern: Michael Friedrich Jonas, Christine Sophie Jonas (geb.
