On May 2, 1862, Jones became colonel of the 53rd Ohio and its commanding officer. He led his regiment during the Siege of Vicksburg and at the Battle of Jackson of that campaign, both in 1863. Beginning April 1864 and into 1865 Jones exercised brigade command of various brigades of the Army of the Tennessee. Jones saw further action throughout the 1864 Atlanta Campaign, fighting at Missionary Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta, and Jonesboro.

After the war, Jones attended and graduated from Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, in 1866. He also married Mary Frances Molineaux Wetmore, and the couple had at least one child together, Mary Kathleen born in 1886.
