  • John B. Jones (December 22, 1834 – July 19, 1881) was a Confederate army officer, Texas Ranger captain, and Adjutant General of Texas. Born in Fairfield, South Carolina, his family moved to the Republic of Texas in 1838. At the beginning of the Civil War, Jones enlisted and served in the Eighth Texas Cavalry regiment (better known as "Terry's Texas Rangers") under the command of Benjamin Franklin Terry. He was later promoted to the rank of major. After the war, he moved briefly to Mexico with the purpose of locating and founding an exile colony for former Confederate supporters, but he returned to Texas after the attempt failed. In 1874, and after a short incursion in politics, he accepted the offer of commanding a newly formed branch of the Texas Rangers, named the "Frontier Battalion." This force had the special task of stopping the numerous Indian raids and enforcing the law within the territory of the State. In the following years, Jones engaged in battle with the Comanche, the Kiowa and the Apache on several occasions, and the Frontier Battalion under his command was instrumental in ending the Indian incursions and raids over the settlers' homesteads. His force also played a major role in pursuing and capturing many criminals and outlaws, such as noted bank robber Sam Bass in 1878. Jones was an active Mason, and in 1879 he achieved the position of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Austin. He died in Austin on July 19, 1881, while still in command of the Frontier Battalion, which continued to be operational until 1901. (en)

Il a ensuite été promu au rang de major. Après la guerre, il s'installe brièvement au Mexique dans le but de fonder une colonie d'exil pour les partisans conférés puis retourne au Texas après que sa tentative ait échoué. En 1874, il accepte l'offre de commandement d'une branche nouvellement formée des Texas Rangers, nommée « Frontier Battalion ». Elle a pour mission d'arrêter les nombreux raids des indiens et de faire respecter la loi. Dans les années suivantes, Jones s'engage dans la bataille avec les Comanches, les Kiowas et les Apaches à plusieurs reprises, et le « Frontier Battalion », sous son commandement, a contribué à mettre fin aux incursions et aux raids indiens sur les fermes des colons. Lui et son bataillon ont joué un rôle majeur dans la poursuite et la capture de nombreux criminels et hors la loi, tel que Sam Bass, en 1878. Jones était un membre actif de la franc-maçonnerie, et en 1879 il atteint le poste de Grand Maître de la Grande Loge d'Austin. Il est mort à Austin le 19 juillet 1881, tout en restant au commandement du « Frontier Battalion », qui a continué à être opérationnel jusqu'en 1901. (fr)
