Knox during the War of 1812
We are trying to create a list of men from Knox who served in the War of 1812. If you know someone who served, please add their name to the list. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.
Biography
We would like to start a biography for each of these people with the basic data about their military service and anything else you care to add under one or more of the following categories as appropriate:
- Photo
- Birth (date, place, parents)
- Education
- Military Service
- Marriage and Children
- Occupation
- Death (date and burial)
- Other Media (newspaper articles, service papers, obituary, etc.)
- Gallery (photos)

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.
