Tenney & Howell - Knox Civil War List (Knox)
Note: This list from Tenney and Howell is almost identical to the Town Clerk's list from 1865. When Knox town histories refer to 77 volunteers from Knox, this is the list they are referring to. Many on the list are from Knox, but others are from surrounding towns who happened to enlist in Knox.
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 internecine 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 complete and exact as it can be made. It contains honorable mention of many representatives of the oldest and and most influential families of the
