George Bishop

Classification: Query
Surnames: BISOP, CADY
My ggrandfather, George Bishop, was a veteran for the Mexican War. In his obituary, it says he moved to Lafayette, Indiana. There are about 5 Lafayette townships in Indiana. However, the obituary states that he enlisted in the Mexican War in Fountain County, Indiana. He married his second wife in Indiana, Mary Cady Allen. Don't know parents, first wife or siblings!
I'd like to find which "Lafayette" he resided in and about the regiment he was enlisted in for the Mexican War. Any help would be appreciated and any family who I might find, please contact me.
This is the regiment/enlistment information about George Bishop.

Bishop, George - Service: Mexican War, Private, 5th Regiment, Company C, Fountain County. Mustered in 11 Oct 1847, at Madison, Indiana, by Lieutenant Rodman, mustered out 28 Jul 1848, at Madison, Indiana, by Major H. A. Goff. Source is Indiana in the Mexican War, Oran Perry, 1908.

Obit states: He was born on December 13, 1823 at Pickaway County, Ohio. When a boy he moved with his parents to Lafayette, Indiana, where he enlisted in Company C. Vol. Inf. 5th Regiment of Indiana, in the Mexican War.
