Events

Knick Lineage	1840	1. HJ / 2. Lourens / 3. Cornelius / 4. John / 5. Benjamin / 6. Andris / 7. Martin (this person)
Knick Generation Number	1840	7
Birth	Aug 1840	Civil War record shows that Martin was born in Benton, Yates Co, NY. Thus, his grandfather was probably Benjamin Knickerbocker. I don't know who Martin's father was. (Andris? Walter?) - Benton, Yates, New York, USA
Extra information	1841	Findagrave shows his birth date as Oct 1840. I suspect it was closer to August 1840. For example, he was already 22 when he enlisted.
Knick Census Project: 1850	1850	NY, Steuben, Bradford. HOH = Maria Knickerbocker.
Residence	23 Aug 1850	Living with Maria (his grandmother?). Age 10. - Bradford, Steuben, New York, USA
Residence	17 Jun 1860	Living with Mariah (his grandmother?). Age 18. Notice that Mariah didn't own any real estate, but Martin owned $200 of real estate. Odd. - Orange, Schuyler, New York
Residence	31 Jul 1860	Age 19. Worked in a sawmill. Living with Andrus & Lavina Knickerbocker. (I suspect that Martin got recorded twice, first with his grandmother, and then with his uncle.) - Chatham, Tioga, Pennsylvania, USA
Military	Aug 1862	Born Benton, Yates Co. Millright. Age 22. - Elmira, New York
Death	8 Apr 1868	Husband of Eliza Ann Hardy. She was nurse from Indiana (close to Louisville KY, where Martin had been hospitalized). - Pendleton, Madison, Indiana, USA
Probate	8 Apr 1868	See his will. It notes that he owned land in Tioga County PA. This ties him to the man who was living with Andrus Knickerbocker in 1860. His will also claims the government owed him money … perhaps from his Civil War service. - Madison, Indiana, USA
Burial		Pendleton, Madison County, Indiana, USA
