In Response To: ANSON RUDSDELL (PAT CALHOUN)

Pat,
From a note about the Ft. Atkinson Records collection held by the University of Iowa Libraries (link below):
1846 - War with Mexico necessitated the withdrawal of U.S. Army troops from Fort Atkinson, and consequent replacement with Iowa Volunteer units. James M. Morgan of Burlington and John Parker of Dubuque were commissioned captains by Governor James Clarke, and assumed command of the companies known as Captain Morgan's Independent Company of Iowa Volunteers, and Captain Parker's Iowa Dragoon Volunteers.
---
also, from Chapter 5 of the 'Past & Present of Allamakee County, 1913' is a blurb about another man receiving land in return for service:
"...Thos. B. Twiford had been a lieutenant in Captain Parker’s Company, Iowa Volunteers, in the Mexican War, and as such received a warrant for forty acres of government land ..."

There is quite a lot of information about the Mexican War on the internet, should you want to research it in depth.
