KNOX IN THE REBELLION.

Knox bore a highly creditable part during the late war for the Union. Her sons responded pa- triotically to the call to arms, and the town, in its municipal capacity, generously encouraged enlist- ments. The following extract from the records will be found of great interest in this connection:

875

THE TOWNSHIP OF KNOX.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

We, the undersigned, the Justices of the Peace and Town Clerk of the Town of Knox, in the County of Albany, do certify that we convened as a board of town officers, on the 26th day of July, 1862, at a special town meeting held at the Town House of said town, agreeable to a notice posted according to law in such cases made and provided, and that such notice stated the intents and pur- poses for which said town meeting was called. The following resolution, having received the unanimous vote of the electors there present, was declared duly adopted:

That we, the inhabitants and electors, tax payers of the Town of Knox, in the County of Albany, this day convened, do hereby authorize the Supervisor of the aforesaid Town of Knox, Samuel Warner, to borrow the sum of eighteen hundred (1,800) dol- lars, on the credit of the Town of Knox, and that the said sum so borrowed be levied on the taxpaying inhabitants of the said Town of Knox at the next annual meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Albany, and that the same be levied and collected together with the State, county and town taxes, and that the aforesaid sum so bor- rowed shall be paid as bounty money, to be ap- portioned in sums of one hundred dollars each to the cighteen persons, the due apportionment for the Town of Knox, who shall enlist as a soldier in the service of his country during the present war. Given under our hands at Knox this 26th day of July, 1862.

Justices of the Peace.

Doubtless further extracts from the records of Knox during this important period of its history would be found both interesting and valuable; but, unfortunately, several leaves are missing, following those from which quotation has been made and covering the remaining years of the war, and there is no further recorded evidence of the official acts of the town authorities during our memorable in- ternecine struggle. But the sons of Knox were patriotic and nobly did their part, on the field of strife as well as elsewhere, toward the preservation of the Union. Following will be found a roster of those who enlisted in the United States Army from the Town of Knox, from 1861 to 1865, inclusive. It is copied from official sources, and is as com- plete and exact as it can be made.
