Wel g-great grand dad got one even though he wasn't a veteran but did support the Mexican war. You want proof contact one of your friends at U of I and I'll show him the grant.

<<I suppose you knew that he was a slave owner in Louisiana, >>

As was my great grandfather in Illinois. He had a slave after the war who couldn't understand money. Gave him food, lodging and a trust fund.
