In the war of the rebellion, from her somewhat remote situation, this little town responded patriotically to the call of the government for volunteers. Seventy-seven volunteers went to fight in the battles of the Union. Many of them never came back to receive the great honors that awaited them.<ref>Altamont Enterprise, 12 Oct. 1934, article by Margaret E. Burke on the history of Knox.</ref>

Deciding who qualifies to be listed as a "Knox" veteran is challenging. The "77" volunteers refers to the 77 names listed in Howell and Tenney, but all they have in common is that they enlisted in Knox. Some were not born or Knox, or never lived in Knox. Below is a large list of soldiers associated with Knox in some way.

'''A very large number of men from Knox were in the [[h:7th Regiment|7th Regiment]]''' of the New York Heavy Infantry.

''In the rural hamlet of Knox, in farm country ten miles west of Albany, young [[Bio:Barckley, Michael Henry| Michael Barkley]] gained a commission as first lieutenant in Company K, primarily because he was a recent college graduate, but he had also managed to convince twenty-one men from the small community to enlist in the Regiment. His recruiting efforts were then a cause for admiration and celebration, during the patriotic euphoria which gripped the Northern States in the summer of 1862. Three years later, Barkley and sixteen of the twenty-one were dead, and the mood would be far different.''

The towns(s) under "Census" show where the soldier lived.

The town(s) under "Born" indicate where the soldier was listed as being born. Records vary.

We are trying to collect information for a book on Hilltown men who were in the Civil War. The information is being posted here in their biographies in preparation for writing the book. While we have volunteers adding information little by little, it will still only be what information they can glean from public records. We are encouraging family researchers to post additional information on each of these men: photographs, obituaries, copies of letters home, pictures of headstones, memorabilia, etc. We hope to publish the book in 2011, the 150th anniversary of the start for the war.
 
  
−
Most of theses biographies are quite basic. We hope that if you know something more about one of these men, you will take an active interest in this project and update his biography to better reflect his life and death. <br.>

''In the rural hamlet of Knox, in farm country ten miles west of Albany, young '''[[Bio:Barckley, Michael Henry| Michael Barkley]]''' gained a commission as first lieutenant in Company K, primarily because he was a recent college graduate, but he had also managed to convince twenty-one men from the small community to enlist in the Regiment. His recruiting efforts were then a cause for admiration and celebration, during the patriotic euphoria which gripped the Northern States in the summer of 1862. Three years later, Barkley and sixteen of the twenty-one were dead, and the mood would be far different.''

letter home from Jesse Denison

In the war of the rebellion, from her somewhat remote situation, this little town responded patriotically to the call of the government for volunteers. Seventy-seven volunteers went to fight in the battles of the Union. Many of them never came back to receive the great honors that awaited them.[1]

Deciding who qualifies to be listed as a "Knox" veteran is challenging. The "77" volunteers refers to the 77 names listed in Howell and Tenney, but all they have in common is that they enlisted in Knox. Some were not born or Knox, or never lived in Knox. Below is a large list of soldiers associated with Knox in some way.

Resources:

The town below "History" indicates the town they are listed in as a veteren in History of the County of Albany, N. Y., from 1609 to 1886, compiled by George Rogers Howell and Jonathan Tenney. The "History" list was taken from Town and City Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War.

R: gives the town the soldier resided in, and E: gives the town the soldier enlisted in. Hilltown information is documented in Town and City Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War.

The town under "Muster" indicates the birth place, according to New York, Civil War Muster Roll Abstracts, 1861-1900 - individual cards indexed on Ancestry.com

The town listed under "Heroes" indicates hometown described in The Heroes of Albany: A Memorial of the Patriot-martyrs of the City and County of Albany. A mentioned here means the soldier died during the war. The list is not absolutely complete

The regiment and company "Report" show Regiment of a soldier associated with Knox in Annual Report of the Adjutant-General - many volumes of information published over several years.

The town under "Carnival" indicates the town the soldier was born in according to Carnival of Blood: The Civil War Ordeal of the Seventh New York Heavy Artillery, by Richard Keating, Published by Butternut and Blue, Baltimore, Md 1998

The towns(s) under "Census" show where the soldier lived.

The town(s) under "Born" indicate where the soldier was listed as being born. Records vary.

The location and date under "Buried" means we know where and when the soldier was buried.

A very large number of men from Knox were in the 7th Regiment of the New York Heavy Infantry. In Carnival of Blood Keating discusses the "enlistment bounty" these men got for enlisting and passing the physical, $50 from the state and $50 from Albany County, more money than they had ever seen before.

On page 3, Keating wrote:

In the rural hamlet of Knox, in farm country ten miles west of Albany, young Michael Barkley gained a commission as first lieutenant in Company K, primarily because he was a recent college graduate, but he had also managed to convince twenty-one men from the small community to enlist in the Regiment. His recruiting efforts were then a cause for admiration and celebration, during the patriotic euphoria which gripped the Northern States in the summer of 1862. Three years later, Barkley and sixteen of the twenty-one were dead, and the mood would be far different.

Regiments in which men from Knox served

7th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery
