Albert Researchers, A small composition notebook was loaned to me some years ago. I hand-copied the newspaper articles pasted in it. I'd forgotten about it, until Ed asked about the Henshaws and the Alberts. The previous article on Adam Albert's will was found in that notebook. The dates of the newspapers aren't shown on any of the articles. Following is another article hand-copied from that composition notebook. "Prospect News and Notes The Alberts of Butler county and their descendants will be interested in the following clipping from the Portland, Oregon Journal of October 13, 1927: "probably no family is better known in Salem, or better liked, and deservedly so, than the Albert family. Some of the Albert's came with the Peoria party, which came overland to Oregon in 1840. Thomas Gordon Albert of Salem says: I was born at Wellsville, Ohio in 1854. My father, Eben T. Albert, was born in Winchester, Va. in 1816. My grandfather, George Albert, was born in Pennsylvania at Reading. His father, Adam Albert, came from Neuremburg, Germany in 1748. My mother's name was Jane Gilchrist of Pittsburgh, Pa. My brother, George A. Albert, who is 86 years old, lives at Lausing, Iowa. He and I are the only ones living of Eben's family of eleven children. My brother, Daniel Albert, served in the Union army during the Civil war. I have the old Albert Bible, printed in Germany in 1656 and brought to America by my grandfather, Adam Albert. It has always descended to the youngest son of each generation. It was buried in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Reading for three years when the British captured Philadelphia during the Revolutionary war. Allen K. Albert, a relative, lives at Woodstock, Va., others live in Pennsylvania. Scribe's note: Adam Albert, a cousin of Eben Albert, Thomas G. Albert's father, came from Winchester, Va., about 1805, and settled in what is now Franklin township, Butler county. Harry Weigle lives on the old farm. Adam Albert and his children, Daniel, Adam, George, William, John, Henry, Peter, Andrew, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Nancy were the ancestors of the Albert blood in butler county. By the way, your scribe, who is a grandson of said George Albert, has a postcard picture of the old Albert Bible brought from Germany. He is indebted to Thomas G. Albert of Salem, Oregon for it. At least thirteen grandchildren of the Adam, who came from Virginia in 1805, are still living in Butler county, and a host of great grandchildren." Hoping you enjoyed the article, G.
