Indiana Soldiers
2nd Regiment
Indiana Volunteer Infantry
Mexican War
Company B
The war with Mexico in 1846-47 brought out more than a full company from Orange County. On the 13th of May, 1846, President Polk called for volunteers and soon afterward, in response to this, William A. Bowles, Trustin B. Kinder, William T. Spicely, John Murray and others began the formation of a company in the county. The organization was completed some time in June and the following officers were elected: William A. Bowles, Captain; Trustin B. Kinder, First Lieutenant; William T. Spicely, Second Lieutenant; John Murray, Third Lieutenant. Soon after this the company assembled in Paoli to march to New Albany, where the Second Regiment, to which they were assigned, was being organized. He boys in bright new uniforms were drawn up in front of the residence of the Captain, and were there presented with a beautiful banner in behalf of the county by one of the Doughertys, it is said. Captain Bowles replied in a short, eloquent speech, pledging the lives of his company for the preservation of the national flag. Lieutenant Kinder, a talented young lawyer, delivered a speech of considerable length and of great strength. He declared that he would leave his bones to bleach on the sunny plains of Mexico rather than see his country’s flag dishonored and trailed in the dust. Lieutenant Spicely also delivered a speech to the same effect. The company then, in wagons and on horseback, started for New Albany, being escorted some distance from town by the brass band of Paoli and a large delegation of sorrowing relatives and friends, some of whom continued on to New Albany. The company became B of the Second Regiment Indiana Volunteers, and at New Albany Captain Bowles was promoted to the colonelcy of the regiment, and was succeeded as Captain of Company B by Trustin B. Kinder. In July the regiment started for Mexico. An account of the service of this regiment will be found in another part of this volume. The roll of the company at the date of muster-in cannot be given. The following is the roll June 23 1847, at the time of muster-out: William T. Spicely, Captain; John Murray, First Lieutenant; John Gullett, Second Lieutenant; D. S. Lewis, Third Lieutenant; John Hungate, Augustus G. Brooks, James H. Vandeveer, and Abner Dougherty, Sergeants; Eli McDonald, Albert Mayfield, Christian P. Leatherman and Christopher C. Shore, Corporals. Privates – David A. Apple, John Allen, John R.

Kinder, John T. Hardin, Joseph Lafferty, Arthur Massey, David McDonald, John Shultz and Joseph H. Harrison. The following died of wounds or disease: James H. Edwards, James H. Smith, David W. Johnson, Wesley Edwards, John Robertson, Benjamin Taylor, William Goldsmith. The following were discharged, probably for disability: William Warren, Robert Dougherty, Henry Harrison, Joab Burt, Enos Evans, Alexander Keith, Harvey Morris, Clement McDonald and John P. McDonald. At the battle of Buena Vista Captain Kinder was dangerously wounded, and was placed in an ambulance which started for the rear, but was upset in one of the many ravines on the battle-field. Here the wounded Captain was killed by the Mexican Lancers. His body was brought to Paoli where it was publicly received by a large assemblage at the court house, and was then conveyed to Indianapolis, the former home of the young soldier, for interment, being publicly received by a large throng of citizens at Orleans on the way. John T. Hardin was killed by a spent ball just as the battle was over. Another company of this regiment was partly raised in Orange County, an account of which will be found in part 5.

Trustin Brown Kinder
Orange County, mustered in 19 Jun 1846, at New Albany, Indiana, by Colonel Samuel Churchill. He was born and raised in
Indianapolis, his parents being early residents of that "city in the wilderness." I also know that he graduated from
Indiana Asbury College [DePauw University] in 1843. He was admitted to the bar in 1846 in Orange County before joining
the Mexican War. On 23 Feb 1847 at the battle of Buena Vista Captain Kinder was dangerously wounded, and was placed in
an ambulance which started for the rear, but was upset in one of the many ravines on the battle-field. Here the wounded
Captain was killed by the Mexican Lancers. Trustin's body was actually brought back home to Indiana for burial. A special
ceremony was held in Trustin's honor in his adopted home of Paoli, where it was publicly received by a large assemblage
at the court house, being also publicly received by a large throng of citizens at Orleans on the way. before the body was
sent on to his parents in Indianapolis for burial. I'm not sure where he was initially buried in Indianapolis but he is
now buried in famous Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis which opened in 1863. Trustin Brown Kinder is the only soldier
to have died on the battlefield in the Mexican-American War who is buried there, according to someone I spoke with who
works there. He was a good friend with Andrew Jackson ("Jack") Carr of Charlestown, Clark County, Indiana who served in
the Third Indiana Regiment as a 2nd Lieutenant, Company I. Jack Carr's father was a U.S. Congressman from Indiana in the
1830's. He was a 1st Lieutenant before being promoted to Captain. Source for this information is William Griffing at

The father was a native of Kentucky, and came to Orange County in 1815, and entered in what is now French Lick Township. He remained here the balance of his life, raising a family of twelve children. Elijah Pinnick remained with his parents during his youth and early manhood, receiving only a moderate education, such as the primitive schools of that day afforded. On the opening of the Mexican war he enlisted in 1846, in Company B, Second Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He served for one year and was then discharged at New Orleans. The only battle at which he was engaged was that of Buena Vista. Returning from the war he made his home with his father, until his marriage. That occurred December 23, 1848, when Mary A. McBride became his wife. The result of this union is a family of nine children, five of which are still living. His wife's death occurred June 26, 1868, and on January 31, 1869, his second marriage was solemnized. By this wife, whose maiden name was Drusilla Cobb, he is father of four children. On November 8, 1861, he enlisted in Company G, Forty-ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, as Second Lieutenant. This he resigned April 9, 1862 on account of his failing health. He is now one of the prominent farmers of his township, owning 160 acres of good land. He is a member of the G.A.R., and a Republican in politics. James M.
