7th Iowa Cavalry
Company Unknown
George LeRoy Taylor - Sergeant
George LeRoy Taylor's pension papers list him as having been in Stufft's Independent Company of Indian Scouts. This group operated out of Nebraska. I believe Iowa's 7th Cavalry was his formal unit but I have been unable to find records beyond his pension.
