Interview With T. T. Garrard August 10, 1898

I left Manchester April 5, 1847, a soldier in the Mexican War though I was in no engagement. Four companies of our regiment, the 16th US Infantry KY
Volunteers ( I was Capt of OIF of CO E), we were stationed in Ceralvo Mexico, on the Rio Grande to
hold the subjegated territory. Part of the regiment
was there and part of the six companies at Montery.
I think the 8 months I spent there was the most
pleasant of my life. The Mexicans were fond of us,
we had no trouble with them. The climate was
pleasant and everything went well. Old Richard
Lucas was drummer. He was a drummer in the
War of 1812. Also Richard Lucas served as a
private in Johnson's Regiment, Mounted KY
Volunteer's in the War of 1812. He served in Capt
Jacob Stuckers Company of Infantry. His service
dates were May 20, 1813- November 19, 1813.
