John Albright of New Jersey (Abt 1750 - Abt 1848)

Thomas_Albright — 2012-05-11 00:07:58Z

I am looking for birth, marriage, any type of records for John Albright born around 1760 in colonial New Jersey. He married a woman named Elizabeth, but I can't find any records about her. In 1783 when he arrived in New Brunswick he had one son over the age of 10, so I'm guessing they were married around 1773 or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I cannot help with your Grandfather, but maybe you can help me locate one of my childhood friends. Becky Faircloth was a dear and influential friend when we lived in Portugal and went to St. Julian's School. She must either be your mother or your aunt. I knew the older 6 girls and the youngest was born just after I left Portugal in 1963.
You can contact me at jane4re@yahoo.com. I would love to get back in touch with Becky, if you would help. My maiden name was Magnusson.

Thank you.

doodle19815 — 2012-02-01 19:42:14Z

I have actually been stalking your work for awhile and you are the reason why I started my own investigations. :) Thank you for that.

My great grandparents are Gilbert Albright and Grace Durst of Wisconsin. The parents of Gilbert are Albert Jr. and Emma Granzow. Albert Sr. and (family bible spelling-->) "Sibbia" Bobb are the parents of Albert Jr. Of course this leads us to Zacariah and Sarah being the parents of Albert Sr.

Hope I got that right. I was fortunate enough to have been handed down a little information for the family. I am now 30 and just starting to appreciate the value of family history.

I look forward to following your work further as you present it in a very easy to follow way. Oh, if only I could go to Switzerland and read German I would be there in a heartbeat with my nose stuck in books for the whole time!

Re: Jacob Albright/Gunsmith Thoughts

alanalbright53 — 2012-02-01 18:35:24Z

Always nice to meet another cousin, you will have to give me your line of descent from Zachariah. Just had a grandson born on my birthday in 2010 so they let me name him. He is named Zachariah Albright. I have seen the story you refer to but as noted you cannot find one descendent of Jacob saying their father was born any place other than Pennsylvania. The Albright's were Swiss no doubt, DNA proved that. Millheim was not created until 1797 so that 1759 entry doesn't make sense and I know your not saying it is true but more for information to examine. But as I analyzed everything and started putting facts together my conclusion was that the story doesn't make sense. We have a contemporary stating in a letter that Jacob Albright was from York Co. That is hard to ignore that, plus the DNA matching the York Co. Albright's confirms the letter.
Please tell me your line of descent, I have met a lot of the Albert Albright line. A few of the Zachariah Jr. line and have met a few that descend from their sisters line. Been great meeting them all and trying to solve all the misinformation that came out earlier.
Sincerely
Alan Albright

Re: Jacob Albright/Gunsmith Thoughts

After reviewing my family "bible" I found a story that has a Jacob Albright. Not to say that this is proven with facts but, I thought you might enjoy it anyhow.

It reads - "Jacob A. Albright b.1756 in Switzerland, came from Switzerland in 1759 to Millheim (Centre County) Pennsylvania. He was a gunsmith. He tried to enlist in the Contential Army but was told they needed guns worse than they needed him to fight. He was told they would give him a grant of land for making guns. He was supposed to receive Bucks County, PA, but wheather he received it or not, I do not know."

It then goes on to list 12 children. I am from Zachariah's line.

I enjoy reading your work, and wait "patiently" for any update to your blog. Good luck to solving this mystery!

Re: Rufus and Isabella Albright

hleila — 2012-01-29 01:11:49Z

Linda,

A little info according to my records:

Ollie(b 1870) was the child of Rufus and his 1st wife, Mary Ann Freeze. Mary died Oct 1874/1875.

Rufus Albright Born 12-22-1825 in NC, Died 11-7-1905 in Shelby County, Alabama and is buried beside Mary in the Old Chapel Methodist Cemetery, Wilsonville, Shelby County, Alabama.

Rufus and Mary were the parents of 10 children - 6 sons and 4 daughters. He taught school and was also a minister. His 2nd wife was Isabella C. Hall (see 1880 Census). Third wife - Nancy (can't remember her last name right now).

After the death of Mary, he wrote a letter to a minister named Brother Self praising his departed wife. I have a photocopy of the letter in my files.

Rufus was a son of Michael (born abt 1798 NC) and Mary (last name unknown) Albright. Michael and his family left NC about 1820 and lived in De Kalb County, Georgia. Sometime after 1830, he moved to Coosa County Alabama and lived there the rest of his life (after 1880). Michael's father was John Albright born abt 1761 in Pennsylvania and died in 1819 in NC. John's father, Michael Albrecht Sr. was born about 1719 in Germany settled in Pennsylvania about 1730s. Michael Sr's father was Jacob Albrecht born about 1695 and also settled in Pennsylvania from Germany. - Source Luther E. Albright

Several years ago, one of Rufus' grand daughters (now deceased) who never knew her grand father told me she remembered her mother saying, "Rufus stayed at home and did not visit often." She also added, "Neither did he borrow nor lend his tools."

Hope this helps a little.

Nancy

Wow, you have done some very thorough research on Albrights.
I am trying to learn who Elizabeth Albright's (born circa 1850)parents were.
During your research did you find information on an Elizabeth Albright whom married Greenberry Mayhue and lived in Julian Centre County Pennsylvania? This couple eventually moved to blair county Pennsylvania.

Jacob Albright/Gunsmith Thoughts

alanalbright53 — 2012-01-08 03:30:49Z

Although the father of Jacob Albright, the Gunsmith, is still under research, DNA testing has demonstrated that Johannes Albrecht (born 13 Feb 1701) and Margaretha Moor (born 23 Jan 1706) are the grandparents of Jacob Albright, the Gunsmith. Johannes Albrecht (1701)’s descendents have a perfect “67” on the 67 marker test matching with Alan Albright, a direct descendent of Jacob Albright, the Gunsmith. Naming Jacob Albright, the Weaver, as the father of Jacob Albright, the Gunsmith, is a common mistake perhaps stemming the 1800 census which lists only names of heads of family (not ages or relationships). Finding two men of the same name (Jacob Albright) living in the same location (Aaronsburg) but with different occupations (“Weaver” and “Gunsmith”) does not mean the two are father and son. In fact, Jacob, the "Weaver", is actually about the same age as Jacob, the "Gunsmith". Further, not only do both Jacob’s have sons named Johannes, but also both sons are born within months of each other (that is, both boys are born in 1801). And, both Jacob’s have wives named Catherine. Finally, it is important to note that at least 3 of the 4 living sons of Johannes Albrecht and Margaretha Moor had a son named Jacob—see that these boys were born within a few years of each other.

What Else? Review the names of the two sons of Johannes Albrecht and Margaretha Moor. One son was named Hans Jacob (born 1729); the other son was also named Jacob (born 1731). By the time Johannes Albrecht dies in 1760, only one of the two Jacob’s mentioned previously is alive. In the process of determining who would administer the Estate of Johannes Albrecht (b-1701 and d-1760) of York Co. PA, Jacob is listed as the eldest, but he refuses to be the administrator of his father’s estate. He was living in Montgomery Co., PA. at the time of his father’s death. There is no evidence this Jacob ever came to York Co., so son Felix assumes administration of his father’s estate as the next eldest.

Review Probate Records of Johannes Albrecht (1701-1760, husband of Margaretha Moor) and research information about his grandsons named Jacob to suggest the probable father of Jacob, the Gunsmith. Three of Johannes and Margaretha’s sons were living in York Co and had sons named Jacob. These sons were Felix, Michael (occupation “Weaver”) and Henry (occupation “Cordwainer” which is “shoemaker”).
1- Michael can be eliminated as the father of our Jacob, Gunsmith. Michael’s son Jacob (grandson of Johannes) had died by the time Michael’s estate was settled in 1817-- Jacob’s portion was to be paid to two unnamed sons.
2- Henry (shoemaker) can be eliminated as the father of our Jacob, Gunsmith. This Henry had a son named Jacob. In 1798, this Henry and wife sell 209 acres in York Co. to their sons Jacob and Paul with the provision that Jacob and Paul maintain them in York Co. for the remainder of their natural lives. Henry’s estate was settled in 1800 (meaning Henry’s sons Jacob and Paul were living in York Co., PA in 1800 and Jacob the Cordwainer stayed on that tax list at least through 1821). However, our Jacob, Gunsmith, was living in Centre Co. by at least 1798 and possibly late 1797. Further, occupation is another reason to eliminate this Henry, a shoemaker, as the father of our Jacob, Gunsmith. Henry’s son Jacob was listed as shoemaker (not gunsmith) in the 1797 census.
3- Felix is probably the last son a person would consider as being the father of our Jacob, the Gunsmith (because of his name). About 1780, this Felix died intestate (no will was made). The History of York Co. PA (page 266) gives us a clue. Felix served in the Revolutionary War with his brother Michael under Captain George Long, First Lieutenant Samuel Smith, Second Lieutenant Conrad Keesey, and Ensign Samuel Mosser. Dr. George Shumway, who wrote many books on the Kentucky Long rifles, was of the opinion that Felix Albrecht was the father of Jacob Albright, the Gunsmith. Was Felix killed fighting the Indians as Shumway suggests? This view would seem possible as Felix enlisted in the Revolutionary War a few years earlier and was about 46 years old at the time of his death.

Further Research on Felix Albright and His Sons Jacob and Henry. When Felix died about 1780, his sons Jacob and Henry were put in the guardianship of Conrad Geesey, a blacksmith. Working with metals (blacksmithing) is not necessary to being a gunsmith, but perhaps this experience would be helpful in being a better gunsmith. Was Henry, son of Felix, ever a Gunsmith? One of the makers of the Ohio Kentucky Long rifle is a Henry Albright living in Goshen, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio… not to be confused with the Henry Albright living in Gnadenhutten, Tuscarawas Co, Ohio who was a son of Andreas Albrecht, another Gunsmith. This Henry Albright of Goshen is the son of Felix! Was this Henry Albright of Goshen the same Henry Albright who in the 1800 census was living in Centre Co. (Northumberland Co. became Centre Co. after 1801)? The Henry of Centre Co. in 1800 had a son Thomas Albright (born 4 Oct 1798 in Centre Co). Thomas is an unusual name for an Albright, but note the witness to Thomas’ christening was Thomas Bickel. This Thomas Bickel bought property in Holmes Co., Ohio (Tuscarawas County until 1824) that borders our Jacob Albright’s property. That is, one could walk from Jacob’s property to the end of his land onto Thomas Bickel’s property. Henry Albright of Goshen’s son Phillip married Catherine Bickel daughter or granddaughter of Thomas Bickel. Thomas Albright (born 1798 in Centre Co to Henry of Goshen, Tuscarawas Co OH) moved west and died in Saline Co. Kansas at 76 years of age. It should also be noted that Thomas Bickel’s and our Jacob Albright the Gunsmith’s properties are within miles of Henry Albright’s property in Goshen, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio. After Felix Albright died in 1780, his widow Anna Maria Dorothy Segrist married George Wilhelm Ruhl. A Johannes Ruhl died in 1849 in Wooster, Wayne Co. Ohio in the same town in which as our Jacob Albright the Gunsmith’s sons Jacob, Daniel, and David were living. Further research showed this Johannes Ruhl (died 1849) was the son of Anna Maria Dorothy Segrist and George Wilhelm Ruhl. Johannes Ruhl, then, could have been an Uncle of our Jacob the Gunsmith’s sons Jacob, Daniel and David Albright!

Could Jacob Albright (born 1731) be the father of our Jacob Albright, Gunsmith?
I haven’t been able to eliminate Jacob Albright (born 1731) because I can’t find him, or verify the Jacob Albright I have found in Montgomery Co. is the brother of Felix. The fact that this Jacob born 1731 never lived in York Co. should eliminate him because we know our Jacob the “Gunsmith” was from York Co. A descendent of Jacob Albright b 1797 and Rachel Brown his wife did the DNA testing and also was a perfect 67 on 67 marker match.
Comment. Some Jacob Albright b 1797/Rachel Brown descendents also have my Jacob Albright the “Gunsmith and Catherine Brungart as their direct descendent. Anyone with a birth record of Jacob Albright b-1797/Rachel Brown is from the lineage of Johannes b-1701 and Margaretha Moor.
Further Proof Regarding Jacob Albright, Gunsmith
"Know all men by These Presents, that Zachariah Albright of Clarno, Green County, Wisconsin, and Guardian at law of my sister Catharine Albright of same place, late of the Town of Millheim, Centre County, Pennsylvania, being a deaf and dumb person, and legatee under the last will and testament of Jacob Albright, late of Millheim, Centre County, Pennsylvania, now deceased, do hereby order and constitute and appoint Andrew S. Kreamer... as my true and lawful attorney... to ask, demand and sue for the Legacy due the said Catharine under and by virtue of said will and testament..."

Thus it can now be stated, unequivocally, that Zachariah Albright, gunsmith, was indeed the son of Jacob Albright, Gunsmith of Haines Township, Centre Co PA. To demonstrate that Catherine Brungart was the wife of this Jacob Albright, Gunsmith, read the following comment written in 1854 by Jacob “Jack” Harter (blacksmith, Justice of the Peace, Minister born 1790 Millerstown, Lebanon Twp, Dauphin Co PA – died 1877 Millheim, Haines Twp., Centre Co) to his nephew Matthias Harter (1825-1906) of Summit Co., OH.
Context will help the reader understand the comment made in 1854:
• Uncle Jacob “Jack” Harter (b 1790 Millerstown, Lebanon/Dauphin – lived Millheim, Haines Twp., Centre Co., PA, died there 1877). Eldest brother to Andrew Harter, Sr.
• Nephew Matthias Harter (b 1825 Manchester, Summit Co., OH) was the 5th child born to Andrew Harter, Sr and Susannah Albright.
• Susannah Albright (born 25 Dec 1798 Aaronsburg; baptized 2 Jun 1799 Aaronsburg Ev Luth Ch, married Andrew Harter, Sr on11 May 1818 in Stark (now Summit Co), OH, and died 19 Jun 1827 Manchester when Matthias was just 2-years-old.
• Matthias was posing the question about his grandparents to someone who should know. Uncle Jacob Harter not only lived in Centre County but also was a Justice of the Peace, was a minister, and a blacksmith. Who were my mother’s parents?
• Jacob Harter writes in response to the question raised by Mathias: "Your Grandfather Jacob Albright was from York County, Pa. Your Grandmother on your Mother's side was a Miss Brungart perhaps also from York County, Pa."

Would Further DNA Testing Clarify?
Could Jacob Albright, the “Weaver”, living in Aaronsburg and having a son Johannes b-1801 and a wife Catherine be the ancestor of the Jacob Albright who married Rachel Brown? Is there a closer relationship of the “Weaver” to my Jacob Albright, “Gunsmith”? These families lived near each other and caused confusion of the Albright/Brown descendents with my line (Alan Albright direct descendent of Jacob Albright the Gunsmith). Would a DNA 111 marker test now available clarify the relationship of the descendent of Christian Albright (son of Felix) with me (Alan Albright) and with a descendent of Jacob Albright/Rachel Brown? Perhaps one Albright is closer to Christian Albright (son of Felix) than the other?

Re: Rufus and Isabella Albright

Thanks for responding Nancy, and Merry Christmas.

Here's what I know regarding the Albrights. Ollie married Billy Brown Crumpton and their daughter Myrtie Lillian (love those Southern names!) was my sweet grandmother. All we ever knew was that Rufus didn't like Billy Brown and never saw Ollie again. My mom has memories of Ollie as her "granny" and she was so loved by the grandkids.

I would just like more information on who Rufus was, where the family originated and was Ollie the only child of Rufus and Isabella.

I'm looking foward to seeing what you have in your files.

The best to you.

Yes, Linda, this is the same line. It will be after Christmas before I can get my Albright info out but I'll be glad to send you any info I have. I've heard my Mom (still living) speak of "Aunt Ollie" on various occasions. My Aunt (soon to be 94 years old) remembers her too. I'll talk with her and see if she remembers anything "interesting" about Ollie. Is there anything in particular you are needing on the Albrights? My line is Rufus/Artemus/Perry/Eloise/me.

Talk with you soon.

Happened across these old posts regarding Rufus and Isabella Albright, I'd like to know if they are the parents of Ollie Albright, who married Brown Crumpton. These would be my great-grandparents. I would like more information on Rufus and Isabella's roots if indeed we are related.
Thanks,
Linda Wharton

I am a direct descendant of Peter Albright - wife Salome Shimp. I have been trying for years to prove the connection between Jacob Albright (the founder of the Evangelical Religion) and Peter. I don't think Peter is a direct descendant of Jacob, but a collateral one. If you ever find where he ties in, I would love to know.

I don't know a lot about my great grandparents, but here is the little I do know. My Ggrandfather was a Menninite minister who fled nazi Germany. He and his wife had several children. One of them was my grandfather, Lonnie Porter Albright from North Carolina. Does anyone have missing pieces?

maggieruth1028 — 2011-11-08 22:20:21Z

Jeanne was my grandma. I am named after Ruth. Jeanne married William Ogden Schermerhorn in 1941. They had 5 children including their youngest my mother Tracey. They died 3 months apart in 2003. Barbara is still alive and living in florida. She is my great aunt. Feel free to email me w any questions. Oh and ruth couldn't have died in 1990, she died before I was born. And from what I hear she was spectacular.

Re: Charles Elzner Albright

MHarpe41 — 2011-10-21 17:12:15Z

I am interested in your post on Charles Elzner Albright, as I am researching his background on behalf of his grandchildren. Can you tell me how you learned his birthdate and names of his siblings? Family legend says he was part Native American. Do you know if that's correct? I'm also looking for additional information on Lula's mother, Polly Mimms. Maybe we can help each other.--Merle Harpe

Are you still looking for the parents of Susanna Trexler, wife of Joseph Albright?

I realize it's been many years since you first posted the message but if you still need the info I have it.

Would love to know what happened to Emma after her mother died in Molong. Marguerite was brought up by the Asgill family in Dripstone - she is my great grandmother. I don't know what happened to Henrietta. Marguerite was known by our family as Jane.

Re: Albright or Albrecht

There are a lot of Janke familes in this register as well as PRIEBE, MOHNKE, MUSALL, MOLZAHN, HOEFT, BLEICH. A Gottfreid BLEICH and Caroline MULLER, Michael LIPSKIE and Christine JANKE, George JANKE and Christine HANNENBERG. I will check tomorrow if Edward is in the register, you never know. I have an Elise JANKE born SCHULZ who died 15 Feb 1845, Kloesterchen, age 60. Wilhelm MUSALL married an Eva SCHULZ.
Caroline JAHN was born 16 Feb 1832, Klein Gilwe, West Prussia, daughter of Freiderich JAHN and Charlotte WILKELSKI.

albright173 — 2011-09-26 20:08:13Z

According to a border crossing record in 1919 to visit his daughter in the States, Edward had his place of birth as Marienwerder, Brandenburg which must once have been in Prussia but was not necessarily in 1919.

Re: Albright or Albrecht

kenMonk31 — 2011-09-26 20:01:34Z

At the local LDS family history centre #208177 and 208178. So Edward, born 8 Apr 1843, may have been born in Klein Gilwe or perhaps Gross Gilwe?

Re: Albright or Albrecht

albright173 — 2011-09-26 19:45:25Z

That's interesting. I have a 'Karoline Fahn [which should likely be Jahn or Jahnke] married to a Gottfried Hoeft, as a result of searching for Justine 'Gustine' Hoeft who married Frederick Wilhem Bleich. I was searching for Schopf, Musehl & Schultz connections with the Bleich, some of whom are connected. I have no information on Karoline or how she might be connected to Edward Albright--the one who came to Sullivan Township. Some of Edward's children married "Janke's" but I have no connection with Albrecht's before that. The oldest Janke's I have I believe to be 3 brothers, Gottfried Janke b. abt. 1813; Frederick Gustav Jahnke Janke b. about 1817 and Christopher Janke who is virtually unknown at this point. I would be interested to know where you were looking up information in West Prussian registers.

Re: Albright or Albrecht

kenMonk31 — 2011-09-26 19:10:32Z

I was researching the Klein Tromneau, West Prussia registers and I came accross a John Albrecht married to a JAHN. I have Caroline JAHN married Gottfried HOEFT in 1851, Klein Gilwe. Since Caroline died in Sullivan Twp, do you know the connection between Caroline and Edward Albrecht?

Re: William Frederick EIX and Minnie Flora ALBRIGHT

PaulaRice88 — 2011-09-26 03:03:06Z

Thanks for posting this. I wish someone would break a lead for us. I know that there must be a connection with the Eix's in Fort Wayne & Allen Co but until we find who the two brothers that left Germany and split with one going to Canada and one going to the US, we can't make it. I'm thinking that it is Henry's father but with all the Wilhelm's, Henry's and Frederick's it's hard to be certain that it wasn't his grandfather and his brother. My tree is coming together so nice except for my Dad's side.

Louise Tate m. Edward/Edwin Albright

JOCOX55 — 2011-09-10 00:23:39Z

I am looking for descendants of Louise Tate and Edward/Edwin Albright. They married in Spokane WA Oct 2 1927. In the census for 1930 they had no children. I am looking forward to the release of the 1940 census. Louise's Father was John J Tate, b. MS, Louise was born in TX 1905.

If you have anything on this family please contact me.

Thanks, Jo

April 12, 1819 drowning in Berks county, Pa.

MELANCHLOLY OCCURRENCE - Reading, April 17

On Monday night last, at about 10 o'clock, 5 young men, who had been at a tavern about 5 miles from this borough, (known by the name of Shaeffer's tavern) on the Centre turnpike road, attempted to cross the Schuylkill, immediately in the rear of the tavern, in a canoe. The vessel by some accident was upset, and distressing to relate, four of them found a watery grave. Their names were Daniel Albright, Daniel Reiser, Valentine Moser and Henry Berger. George Albright, a brother of Daniel's escaped. Search was made the following morning for their bodies, which were found a short distance from the place where they were drowned. Thus, in the bloom of life, perished four young men, who but a short hour before, were the happiest among the happy......Schuylkill Journal.

I am the son of Dale Albright (whereabouts unknown). My maternal grandmother wa Irene valentine. We are from, Mineral County (Old furnace road). Irene married Melvin Abe and my mother, Eleanor (Pat)Abe married Carlton Dale Albright. I am trying to find info on my father as I haven't seen him since I was 2. I'm sure who my father's relatives were and I am trying to piece it all together right now. All I've found is that my Grand Father was named Edward R. Albright and he married, Mildred Virginia Lease. they lived in Ridgeley. I have no idea if this helps you or if you can help me.
