He enlisted in army in Dubuque, IA, and served in Galena, IL, before being discharged at Jefferson Barracks, MO, during the Mexican War of 1848, received land bounty for service. It has been determined he lied about his birthdate in order to qualify for the land bounty when he enlisted in the army.
