Hernson Wesch, age 24 and born in Hamburg, is listed as a Soldier in the 1870 census for Socorro County, N/M.

I am not related to this person, I'm just passing on this information. I was looking through this census for someone else and noticed the list of Soldier names, so this must have been a fort they were at.
