My great grandfather, Isaac Patterson and great, great grandfather,
Isaac Hitchcock fought in the Mexican War in San Jose, CA during 1846.
They were commanded by Captain C. M Weber who was the commanding officer
of the Mounted Regiment of the California Riflemen Volunteers. I don't
have much information on the California Riflemen Volunteers.
