Ball Family Service in the Mexican War

Am seeking more information on Jeremiah Ball of the St. Louis, MO area, said to have been a veteran of the Mexican War, and subsequently blind. I believe his wife died while their children were young, and a daughter, Catherine b: 1 Feb 1827, and a son were "taken in by a neighbor family" named Putnam or Putman.
Catherine, or "Kate" married Ike Murray in St. Louis 15 Feb 1846. Jeremiah had died in 1831. Kate and Ike remained in the St. Louis, MO area until 1855, when they moved to Linn County, KS with their three small children, Mary Virginia, Talbert W. and Amelia. I have much information on Kate and Ike and their children, but need information on her Ball family. Any help greatly appreciated!
