She was born after Jacob died and no other information that could be found by this webmaster substantiates her birth to Sarah and Jacob.]

Ephland (widow) and Rebeccah Albright) and four minors under the age of twenty-one (Sarah Albright (#28), Daniel Albright, George Albright, and William Albright . Julia A. is not mentioned in the petition and it is assumed by this webmaster that she died prior to 1847.)
