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:

An "X" below "History" means they are listed as a Knox veteran 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.

The town below "Enlisted" is the location where the soldier enlisted. Hilltown information is documented in Town and City Registers of Men Who Served in the Civil War.

An "B" under "Muster" means the soldier is listed as born in Knox, "E" means enlisted in Knox, 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 Comaply "Report" show Regiment of a soldier associated with Knox in Annual Report of the Adjutant-General - many volumes of information published over several years.

An "X" under "Carnival" means the soldier was associated with Knox in 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 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

There were at least 16 men from Knox who served in the 7th Regiment. Some of the Regiments major battle were at Petersburg, Cold Harbor, Weldon Station, Spotsylvania. Three of the men from Knox were killed in battle, or died of their wounds. Five were captured, four of whom died in prison of starvation or disease. One was missing in action. Click here for more about the 7th Regiment and a listing of the men from the Hilltowns who served in it.
