Knox during the War of 1812

Service Personnel

Because the Town of Knox was not formed from the northern part of Berne until 1822, any veterans from the current Knox area would have been listed as living in Berne. The list below is from hand-written notes from the Knox Historical Society. The list is identical to that found in Tenney and Howell, who got their list from Adjutant General report on 1812 Pensions. Thus an error in the pension list would appear on all other lists.

• Bunzey, Henry - listed as Henry Bunzer on the pension list
• Bunzey, William
• Chesebro, Elijah Jr.
• Denison, Gideon, son of Henry achieved the rank of Captain
• Crary, Edward Parker
• Gallup, Abel
• Gallup, Joseph
• Williams, Benjamin
• Williams, Henry

Note: There is NO record of a Henry Bunzer ever living anywhere, but a Henry Bunzey, the brother of William Bunzey, was living in Knox at the time of the Pension report.

• Denison, John is mentioned as moving to Knox in Landmarks of Albany County, New York
