Service: Mexican War, 4th Regiment, Company K.  The following Biographical sketch was 
copied from the book "HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY COUNTIES OF WHITE AND PULASKI,

1883."  On page 643: "BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES" "CITY OF WINAMAC" JOSEPH B. 
AGNEW, Sr., was born in Butler County, Ohio, October 22 1815, one of the eight children 
born to JOSEPH B. and MARIAN (McKEE) AGNEW, natives respectively of New Jersey 
and Virginia. Our subject left the parental roof at about the age of fifteen, to seek his own 
fortune. The fall of 1832 found him working by the day in Ripley County, Ind., he then learned 
the millwright's trade. February 25, 1836, he married LOUISA BOLDREY.  In May, 1847, he 
enlisted for the Mexican War in Company K., Fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and shortly 
after was made a corporal. While on skirmishing duty near National Bridge, thirty miles above 
Vera Cruz, he was shot in the right ankle, which necessitated amputation, and he was 
discharged in December, 1847. On Christmas Day, he left Vera Cruz and reached Ripley 
(County Indiana) in January, 1848, and there worked at his trade until the fall of 1850, when 
he moved to White County, this state (Indiana), and a few weeks later came to this County 
(Pulaski), settled in Franklin Township and engaged in farming and stock raising until the fall 
of 1867, when he came to his present place in Winamac, where he owns 137 acres of good 
land adjoining the town. He was a Whig previous to the Mexican War, since when he has been 
a Democrat. In 1852, he was elected Clerk and Recorder, which office he held for four years 
and then resigned to become Swamp Land Commissioner under an appointment by Gov. 
Willard, and in this capacity served for four years. In 1874, he was elected and re-elected
County Treasurer, serving four years. Since then he has been leading a retired life. Mr. and 
Mrs. AGNEW have had born to them twelve children - DANIEL W., WILLIAM W. (deceased), 
MARIAM S. (deceased), SAMUEL B., LUCINDA, ELIZABETH A., JOSEPH B., JOHN M., 
NANCY M., LOUISA, THOMAS J., and FRANK." Source for this information is Michael
