Hendrich Albrecht to Martin L. Albright
My Grandfather was Martin Luther Albright b.1886, d.1976; His Sister was Henrietta Albright, b.1884,d.1982. They also had a brother Benjamin whom I believe was born 1893, but whom I never actually met. They may have been born in Schukyll Co Pa, but Berks, Lancaster, aand York are also possibilities. My father Robert believes Martin Luther's Father was Jacob married to Ophelia, but....There are a ridiculous number of Jacobs, and I am not sure how accuraate my Dad's info is. Martin Luther was married to Charlotte Steffy. As a child I heard Jacob Albright refered to as "uncle", as the founder of the evangelical church, and as a colonel in the revolutionary army at Valley Forge . Would like to separate the facts from the fictions. I remember being taken to a grave of Jacob in three languages which I believe was in Klienfeltersville Pa. when I was very small. I am guessing by process of elimination that I am descended from;1.Hendich Albright/Anna Folsom
2.Johannes Albright/ Anna Riesbach
3.John.Christian Sr./Elizebeth Rick
4.John Christian Jr/ Maria Kaufman or Maria Althouse
The latter had at least 11 siblings some of whom remained in Berks Co area , while some migrated to NC where some of the previous generation had gone. I have yet to link up the two ends of past and present, ther being a gap between of aprx. 70 years between 1810 and 1880. Any data from eastern Pa between those dates I would be very interested in.
