1934 - Knox is Smallest Town in County of Albany
In the American Revolutionary Period - The Militia of 1775-76
Albany county as it existed at the time of the revolution, first organized seventeen regiments of militia, under the law of 1776. We give the officers of such as belonging wholly or in part to the present Albany county.
They were numbered and officered, as found to the Historical records of the state, as follows:
First regiment, city of Albany, first company, John Barclay, captain later spelled "Barckley."
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.
