Veterans of the Mexican War

This article was taken from, The Pulaski Citizen, February 17, 1887 edition.

A Full Roster of Giles' Two Companies and the Survivors

We are able through the courtesy of Esq. J.L. Jones and Mr. B.M. Patteson of Paris, Texas, to present the full roll of the two companies that went out from Giles county to the Mexican war, together with a note to each name telling whether they are dead (d), living (1), or unknown (u). Where it is known the residence is given. Many of them marked unknown are living doubtless elsewhere, and many of their relatives and descendants are in Giles yet. We also append a list of survivors of all commands now living in Giles:
