    3. Hugh, I went back and looked at your earlier posts. I am quite sure this is the George Knox you are looking for and if it is, this is the most complete and detailed application I have come across and I've read many of them to date. Just wish I could be so lucky...lol If this is the right one, let me know and I will email you the images. Very detailed and interesting. I enjoyed reading it.

Further info lists: George Knox was listed as a private, then later a Seargant Major in the 4th PA Reg. Some Details of his service. Including mention of Stoney Pt. Catherine Knox, his wife, died 24th Jan 1845 in NY city, county and state. Lists location of residence on his children and their husbands names. George was inlisted by Lt. Col. William Butler on the 5th day of Oct 1777. He was appointed Sgt. Major of the same regiment. While on march with his regiment he was shot through the body by one Richard Roech?(spelling of last name difficult to read), with a musket charged with a cartridge and musket ball, the whole of which entered on the right side of his back bone and came out about 2" above his navel. Discharged Nov 1779. By means of his said wound he is incapable of continuing his livelyhood. He was granted a disablitly pension due to his injuries. A study of these documents will reveal much more info than I have included here.
