Source Notes
- No census data can be found for 1870; census records for Mary Albright can't be searched without knowing father's name.
- Daughter Amelia indicates that her mother was born in Germany in the 1910 census. If true, her surname may originally have been Albrecht.
- Multiple census entries list Mary as having been born in PA. CHECK THIS.
Conjecture
Research of Elsie C. Segura
Contributor Elsie C. Segura believes that Venango Co. PA resident Solomon Albright may be the father of Mary Albright. None of her material is sourced, but may serve as a research starting point for others. Some of her conclusions include:
- Solomon Albright possibly the father of our Mary Albright. He resided in Pinegrove Twp., Venango Co. PA, which Elsie believed to border Butler County. (It is actually on the northeast side of Venango Co., north of parts of Clarion Co., so does not border Butler County).
- A daughter Mary among the children of Solomon Albright.
- No obituary found for Solomon Albright; no will filed at Venango Co. Courthouse.
- 1850 census, Berks Co. PA has a Solomon Albright with wife Elizabeth; however other records indicated Solomon Albright of Venango Co. PA died in 1848.
- The following family was assembled by Elsie Segura, sources unknown:
Solomon Albright was born Nov 02, 1788 in Pa., and died Jul 16, 1848 in Pinegrove Twp. Venango Co., Pa. He married (1)Elizabeth Shoemaker. He married (2) Maria Miller Feb 27, 1814 in 1792. She was born 1792 in Berks Co., Pa., and died bef. Jan 27, 1845.
Children of Solomon Albright and Maria Miller:
i. Elizabeth Albright
ii. Henry Albright
iii. John Ludwick Albright
iv. Mary Albright
v. Catherine/Kate Albright, b. 1823
vi. Harriet Albright, b. Abt. 1830.
vii. Charles Albright, b. 1830. - "Venango Co. Courthouse records show John L. Albrecht, died Oct 5, 1917, with no will but a probate file. Also Louis J. Albrecht was involved with an Orphans Court proceeding." Its unclear whether Segura means the orphans court proceeding is in reference to the death of John L. Albrecht, or is a separate filing.
- Ship's list extraction (source unrecorded): These Albrights are not known to be related to our Mary Albright, or to Solomon Albright; however two other surname ancestry lines of researcher Elsie Segura are also on the ship "Johnson".
Ship List: "Johnson" ----Sept. 18/19, 1732
"Men" : Johannes Albright (Johannes Ludwig)
"Wifes": Anna Albright, Matelina Sadler
"Boys under 16": Jacob Albright, Lodawick Albright
"Girls under 14": Matelina Albright, Barbara Albright, Christiana Albright
"I feel sure that the wife Matelina Sadler is Matelina Albright the daughter of Johannes Ludwig." - Elsie Segura.
(Segura's conclusions re. relationships of members of the ship's party are apparently based on additional information on Albrecht ancestry, compiled from the web, LDS records and Ancestry.com records. To view this compilation please go to Descendants of Hendrick Albrecht, Research of Elsie C. Segura
