County
Coordinator's Note: The
Mexican War concluded just as the first settlement
of Madison County began. The people listed below are veterans of
that war who served from various eastern states and eventually
moved to Iowa. There are no known published lists that correlate
service in this war with residence in Madison County. The County Coordinators
are therefore reliant on descendants for obtaining data for this
list. Your inputs are encouraged and welcome.
