The American War Between the States, perhaps better known as the American Civil War, resulted in the death of an estimated 623,000 soldiers who died as the result of battles or disease. Fighting took place on each of the war's 1,396 days from the Spring of 1861 to the Spring of 1865; Frederick H. Dyer tabulated that 10,455 military "events" took place during the war.

Much has been written about the American Civil War during the time of the war and since. The perspective as to why a war was necessary (or not), in the first place, is hotly debated to this day. And the modern day 'spin' on the events leading up to the war are still very much in the eyes of the beholder and, to a great extent, based on the geographic locations of their ancestors who either fought in the war or endured the consequences of the war, both during and after the actual conflict.

It is NOT the purpose of this page to relive the Civil War from any political viewpoint, but to both honor those who participated (on both sides) and to recognize (catalog) the genealogical significance of the records concerning our ancestors' service in this great American tragedy. It has been said "that the period of the war was romantic because of the youthfulness of so many of its officers and soldiers, and the desperate devotion of so many of them who seemed to have no real stake in the issues."

So, in honor of the Knowles participants in the American Civil War, the following table will be developed over time to list the service of as many of them as is possible from available records. If your Knowles ancestor served in the American Civil War and is not listed here, or is incorrectly listed, please notify Robert B. Noles as soon as possible with the appropriate data and/or corrections.
