[NI129768] JOSUE D. PARRISH citizen of Cambria co & bldr & contractor of Ebensburg, PA. He has honor of being one of famous "Cambria Guards," a co which serv with great distinction in Mexican War. This co was raised mostly in Ebensburg, & left Ebensburg Jan 2 1847, going to Pittsburg in wagons. Jan 5 1847, Cambria Guards were mustered into serv, to serve during the war, with the following officers: Col. Wm. B. ROBERTS; Lt-Col John W. GEARY, who was afterwards Gov of PA; Maj BRINDLE. James MURRAY was capt of co D, the co in which our subject serv. Charles HIRE was 1st lt, & John GIVEN was 2nd lt, & Chas. MCDERMOTT, 3rd lt of same co. They were sent to aid Scott's army, were detained at Lobos Island with 9 cases of small-pox abt 1 mo & landed at Vera Cruz 3 dys after the battle; but their enthusiasm was not dampened, & they pushed on after Scott, coming up just 1 dy after battle of Cerro Gordo; the fight, however, was not over, & we find the brave "Guards" from this time to taking of Mexico in thickest of the fight, every where performing valorous serv. Their 1st engagement was at Lahoya; followed by those famous battles in the valley of Mexico, at Contreras, Cherubusco, Tucabya, Chapultepec, & lastly at taking of the city of Mexico. Gen QUITMAN, who commanded the div in which Mr. Parrish serv, was 1st to raise the flag over the "halls of the Montezumas" & to accomplish by strategy the capture of the citadel of the city of Mexico; for this brilliant feat the div was highly complimented by Gen SCOTT. The inferiority in no.s of Amer army to Mexicans contributes much to the glory of this victory, Amers no. 9,500, & Mexicans, according to Mexican stmt, 19,000. Aug 1848, after having won glory for themselves, Mr, Parrish's co returned to Ebensburg.
