My name is Eric Albright. My profession is Archaeologist, and I have a keen interest in Albright genealogy. I am descended from Johanne Albrecht(John 1) who arrived in Philadelphia aboard the Sno Louther in 1731. That Johanne Albrecht settled at Manheim near York Pennsylvania at a place called ""Wolf's Delight". His eldest son, also Johanne Albrecht moved to Roscombmanor Township in Berks County, and attended Mertze's Church in Dryville. He (John 2) married Anna Truk there about 1754. John 2 had at least 2 sons with Anna Truk, They were Johanne and Jacob.John 2 had several more children, some of which may have been with his housekeeper or second wife Justina Seigfried. In his will dated 1818, John 2 left equal shares of his estate to his younger children, with an equal share going to Justina Segfried; his older sons John(3) and Jacob were only given 5 schillings each. Family oral history suggests that John(3) and Jacob were fife and drummer during the revolution. The brothers moved to Montgomery County PA, about 1/2 mile west of the Berks County line. John(3) married Anna Elizebeth Keely. They attended New Hanover church, which had been used as a field hospital during the revolution. More later
12/28/2006 The following was compiled mostly from the research of Shannon D Albright, with the additions after 1900 from my own notes.
The following information came from a supplement to a book by Shannon D. Albright 1989. This book was described as a "periodical", which in my mind means that Shannon D Albright meant for it to be updated regularly. As far as I can tell, there are only 3 copies in US libraries. Maybe we can remedy this, as we now have this tool that he never had.
