Important Note: Taken from "Record of the Services of Illinois Soldiers in the Black Hawk War 1831-32 and in the Mexican War 1846-48" by Isaac H. Elliott. This work is known to have many errors. If a name is close to one that you seek check the original records! [This is the same work that was used for the database on the Illinois Secretary of State's web site.]
