Thornton L. Jawdon
Civil War Veteran
Sometimes spell counts.
Thornton’s last name certain caused some issues with those that had to listen, understand it and write it down to record it. Likely, with a heavy accent, a lip full of snuff and a limited education, Thornton ended up with multiple spellings of his last name, the final time being a misspelling on his grave marker.
A genealogical researcher listed the likely proper spelling as Jaudon; his service record lists T.L. Judon as serving as a Private in Company D of the 2nd Alabama Cavalry Regiment; the same service record notes a change in spelling of his last name to Jandon. His final resting place is marked by one final misspelling, Jawdon.
To locate the final, solve:
33 06.1AB
87 41.9CD
A = The date of his death.
B = The third digit in the year of his birth.
C = The second digit in the date of his birth.
D = The third digit in the year of his death.
