The 1790 U.S. Census Search Results show that a Daniel Albrecht lived in Berks County in Bern Township, Pennsylvania. A copy of the census is shown at left. Note that a Henry and Jacob Albright were included in this census document. These may be Daniel’s brothers, including Henry (#99) and Jacob, or his brother Henry (#99) and Jacob Albright (197/217), (Daniel and Henry's father).

 

Left: A copy of an original page(107) in the 1790 Berks County, Bern Township Pennsylvania Census. Circled in red is Daniel; in blue are Henry and Jacob.

The North Carolina 1820 Federal Census Index, p. 57 & 58, lists two Daniel Albrights living in Guilford County. Their ID#s are NC32010490 & NC32010491 . One of these Daniels could be #109, while the other could be John Ludwick (Ludwig) Albright's (111) brother. The North Carolina 1830 Federal Census Index lists one Daniel Albright in Guilford County on p. 151. His ID # is NC55815355.

 

Albright, Clapp and Berk Families by Joseph H. Vance copyright 1987 Library of Congress catalog card number 87-050664 published March 1, 1988 Pg. 14 states that Daniel and his wife had nine children. Their children included Jacob (55), George, William, Sophia, Daniel, Henry, Lewis, Elias, and Joel.

According to an Ancestry.com source, Daniel died while visiting Jacob Albright (197/217) (his father) & and Sophia C. Welder Albright 198/218) (his mother).[Note, this cannot be true since his father died in 1791 and his mother died in 1802-1810. According to records at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Burlington, N.C., Daniel died in 1831; therefore, he would have outlived both of his parents. His wife, Catharine did not die until 25 years later.]
