Biography
Jeremiah Wesley Clonts was born in North Carolina. He married first, Mary Ellen Jane Polk. They had three children Elizabeth Jane Clonts King, Thomas C. Clonts, and Charles Wesley Clonts. He then married Mary Green of Coweta County, Georgia. He died in 1864 in Jonesboro, Clayton County Ga. during the Civl War.
Research Notes
I haven't been able to confirm that Jeremiah was in Co. F of the 40th Ga. Regt. Infantry. There are several other Clonts soldiers in this same Regiment as they mustered from Paulding Co. Ga. They were all captured at Vicksburg on March 4, 1862 and paroled in July, 1863. More research is needed.
