STATE ARMORY, RIVER STREET, NEAR FERRY STREET,
TROY, RENSSELAER CO., N. Y.
The Troy Citizens Corps was organized September 23, 1835, and chartered by act of Legislature, May 20, 1836; on the breaking out of the war the members of the company practically all joined in the U. S. forces, and the company was compelled to suspend all action as an organization. November 29, 1876, the company was re- organized, and February 20, 1877, mustered into the State service as the Sixth Separate Company, 10th Brig- ade, N. G. S. N. Y. Its designation was changed to 20th Separate Company, December 8, 1877, and to 6th Sepa- rate Company, February 4, 1878. Under the orders of the Governor of the State, the company aided the civil authority in December, 1839, in quelling resistance by the anti-renters; again, in 1844, under the orders of the mayor of Troy; in 1850, it assisted in suppressing a riot in the northern part of the city of Troy; and in July, 1877, during the railroad riots, it performed duty at West Albany, N. Y., at which time 97 men, out of a strength of 103, responded to the call.
NOTE .- For these lists, as far as to the war record, the historian is indebted to the courtesy of Maj. Isaac F. Handy, Clerk of the Corps.

THE WAR RECORD.
GEORGE H. ANDREWS entered the U. S. navy as pay- master May 24, 1862, and served in the same capacity throughout the remainder of the war. He was first ap- pointed to the steamer Mohawk, and in 1865 was trans- ferred to the monitor Saugus. His death occurred in 1866, from disease contracted in the service.
RICHARD D. BLOSS was commissioned major of the Second N. Y. V. at the organization of that regiment, and served until his resignation in the following sum mer.
CHARLES E. BRINTNALL was, at the breaking out of the civil war, colonel of the Twenty-fourth regiment N. Y. S. M. He took active part in the formation of a regi- ment which was mustered in as the Thirtieth N. Y. V. In this he was commissioned captain, but only a month later, May 21, 1861, he was promoted to be lieutenant colonel. The regiment was stationed in front of Wash- ington, and Lieut. Col. Brintnall was given charge of the construction of a fort at Upton's Hill, Va. His accu- rate military knowledge here enabled him to render good service. In his zealous devotion to his duties, however, he contracted a disabling disease and was for that reason compelled to resign, March 11, 1862.
THOMAS C. BYRAM enlisted in the Eighth N. Y. S. M., Col. Varian, at the second call for three months' men, in May, 1862. With this regiment he served through Mc- Clellan's campaign on the peninsula. The term of ser- vice of the Eighth having expired, Mr. Byram enlisted in the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth N. Y. V., and with it served through the remainder of the war. He was mustered out as corporal of Co. E.
PHILIP CASEY, long an active member of the T. C. C., enlisted early after the breaking out of hostilities, and

HISTORY OF TROY CITIZENS CORPS.
was commissioned first lieutenant in the Thirtieth regi- ment N. Y. V., with date from July 4, 1861. Going to the front at once, he was stationed with his regiment among the defenses of Washington, and was engaged, during the few months of his service, in helping complete those forti- fications. The fatigues of camp life told severely on a frame ill adapted to endure the heat of a Virginia sum- mer, and Lieutenant Casey was soon stricken with mor- tal disease. His death occurred October 24, 1861, at Upton's Hill, Va. The body was sent to Troy. As he had no relatives in the vicinity, the Citizens Corps took charge and gave their old comrade the burial of a soldier.
