There's no telling where he died. I do not find a history of the regiment post Piedmont. This book may shed some light:
Scott, J.L. 60th Virginia Infantry. Lynchburg, VA: Howard, 1997. 150 p.
The record of events for Companies H & E provide the information that they initially fled to Rockfish Gap, thence to Lynchburg in time for the battle of June 17.
I have appended the route taken by BGen. J. C. Vaughn, who assumed command of the Confederate forces at Piedmont following the death of BGen. Grumble Jones. This might give you an idea of Pvt. Jones movemements following his mortal wounding at Piedmont
60th Regiment, Virginia Infantry (3rd Regiment, Wise Legion)
60th Infantry Regiment [also called 3rd Regient, Wise Legion] was organized in August, 1861. The unit served in Field's, McCausland's, and T. Smith's Brigade. It fought in the Seven Days' Battles and reported 31 killed and 173 wounded. Later it was attached to the Department of Western Virginia and East Tennessee and participated in numerous conflicts including the fight at Piedmont. The 60th took part in Early's operations in the Shenandoah Valley and fought its last battle at Waynesborough. During mid-April, 1865, it disbanded. The field officers were Colonels Beuhring H.

Vaughn was to lead the retreat south to New Hope.
Well into Sunday night, the Confederate troops plodded into the town of Fishersville, the head of the column arriving at 9:00 P. M. While the army bivouacked along the Staunton-Waynesboro Road southwest of the village.
Vaughn was convinced that Staunton must fall and decided to have his forces fall back through Waynesboro to Rockfish Gap, west of Charlottesville. Before long most of Jone’s surving infantry units had reached Fishersville.
The Confederates rallied under the command of Brig. Gen John C. Vaughn and fortified the mountain gaps above Waynesboro, effectively blocking the Federals from advancing on Charlottesville, so Hunter moved on to another objective: Lynchburg. The town was a major warehouse supply center with railroad and canal distribution capabilities.

Our defeat opened the way to Hunter to effect a junction with Crook and Averell at Staunton on the 6th. Their combined forces numbered about 18,000 men of all arms. Vaughn and I fell back in good order, and on the 6th occupied Waynesboro, eleven miles east of Staunton, and the neighboring (Rockfish) gap in the Blue Ridge, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad [Virginia Centeral per Lee’s Lieutenants, Vol. 3, pp. 524] passes through the mountain.
06 06 1864
The next day (6th) we took a stand in Rockfish Gap to await developments and rest our sore feet, for many of us had not walked any to speak of in three years
After this disasater, Jone’s command, under Vaughn, fell back first to Fishersville and Waynesboro, and then towards Charrlottesville.

LYNCHBURG, VA., June 8, 1864--2 p.m.
General B. BRAGG,
Richmond:
Just arrived here, cars running off track twice. Find here a four-gun battery of Vaughn's command, fully equipped. Will push it on to Charlottesville as fast as possible. Just heard there are only 150 Yankees in Greenbrier, and Averell at Warm Springs on the 5th. This means he was going to Staunton. I telegraphed Vaughn of the re-enforcements, and urged him to hold fast in the best positions, if the enemy advances. I venture to suggest that Morgan be ordered to the Valley.
JNO. C. BRECKINRIDGE,
Major-General.
«48 R R--VOL XXXVlI, PT I» Breckinridge arrived at Rockfish Gap with a small force. Upon his arrival, Breckinridge assumed command and immediately began preparing for the defense of Lyncburg.

General Albred Duffié’s, USA, raiders took the Waynesboro Pike toward the Tye River Gap, leaving Staunton at 3:00 A. M. and demonstrating against Imboden and Vaughn’s infantry defendeing Waynesboro. Part of Duffié’s force pinned down the Confederates, which allowed the main force to proceed unmolested. They reached the gap by nightfall and crossed the mountains the next day.
The little remnant of the detachment which had been defeated under Jones at Piedmont was then along the line of the Orange & Alexandria Railroad near Charlottesville, under General Vaughn, much demoralized and short of ammunition and supplies. It came by forced marches, however, to the aid of Lynchburg, where it was under the immediate orders of General John C. Breckinridge, the commander of the Confederate Department of Southwest Virginia.

Hunter’s troops, after a brief skirmish, entered Lexington, Va. Hunter spent three days looting the town and destroying much of Virginia Military Institute, in addition to turning the main building of Washington College into a horse stable. He also raided the Arrington Depot near that city. His delay in reaching Lynchburg allowed time for for Confederate Gen. Jubal Early to join John Breckinridge’s forces at Lynchburg. (33)

Vaughn’s brigade arrives in Lynchburg. Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge arrived in Lynchburg to take command. Because of his poor health, having had his horse shot out from under him at Cold Harbor, relinquished his command of the Army of Southwestern Virginia to General J. C. Vaughn.

General Breckinridge, with some troops, got here on Wednesday night. Some of the troops which had fought under him around Richmond were enroute to the Valley, and, their destination being changed, they reached Lynchburg before Early’s corps, or any part of it, came up.

Marched at 3 AM 13 miles to Lynchburg, 10 PM moved 1 1/2 miles on creek . camped (254)
Gen. Hunter reached and invested Lynchburg. Up to this time he was very successfull; and but for the difficulty of taking with him sufficient ordnance stores over so long a march, through a hostile country, he would, no doubt, have captured that, to the enemy important, point. The destruction of the enemy’s supplies and manufactories was very great. To meet this movement under General Hunter, General
Tireless, Early himself rode ahead, arriving in Charlotsville on the morning of the 16th.
