[edit] Sam Ringgold

That Ringgold was the first officer to die in the Mexican-American War is popularily believed, but not true. Maj. Jacob Brown died of wounds received at Fr. Texas earlier and Gen. Zachary Taylor's after-action report lists 3 other officers who died outright during the battle. That would make Ringgod at least the fourth officer to die in the MAW, not the first.

If you can cite a source for that, please add that information to the article. It's still worth noting in the article that he was believed to have been the first. I see that you aren't a regular editor at Wikipedia. If you feel more comfortable just putting the information on the talk page (again, citing the source), I'd be happy to help by putting the information into the article with a Wikipedia footnote (although it isn't hard to do).
