1865 Census - Veterans and Soldiers in Knox
In the 1865 census, there was a place to check if the resident was a past or current soldier. This is a list of the names checked in the census of Knox, Albany County, NY. The hand-written record was faint and hard to read. Not every soldier with detailed information is marked as "In the Army" and not every checked has detailed information.
