Do not forget that your ancestor might have had military service outside the major conflicts. He could have easily been a volunteer soldier before the Civil War, after the War of 1812, etc. Don’t assume that military records only revolve around the major conflicts.

I discovered in the BLM records that an ancestor received land for his service in the Mexican War. I had totally neglected to consider this possibility.
