Biography

1776 Project
Ensign William (Albin) Alban served with 4th Battalion, Westmoreland County Militia, Pennsylvania Militia during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
William (Albin) Alban is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A000919.

William was born in 1746.

Extract from FAGM record:[1]

His death date was between 1794 and 1796.. he married Malinda Shepler in Frederick Co., Va. some time between 1761 and 1763. Malinda was born 1752 in Winchester, Virginia and she died May 10, 1816 in Nelson, Kentucky. William served as an Ensign in the Revolutionary War with the rangers of the Frontier from Westmoreland Co., PA.[2] The name of the cemetery where he is said to be buried no longer exists, so I am putting him in this virtual cemetery so he could be connected to his family and not forgotten. They had 11 children:
  1. Mary Elizabeth 23 Mar 1774 died 1800
  2. Elizabeth 1776
  3. Isaac 1778
  4. Absolam 1780
  5. Sarah 1782
  6. Phillip C. 1784
  7. Joshua Carman 5 Aug 1794
  8. George Henry
  9. William
  10. John
  11. James
George Henry and Absolam married Bruce sisters.

He passed away in 1796.

Two questions please:

Can someone make a copy of the DAR application and place it as photo here?

Why is the last name changed? Father and other have not. Thanks.

Brent, do you have any data for this person? We're trying to "fix" all-empty profiles like this one. Any dates, even estimated, and connections to other profiles (family) are much appreciated! Thanks.

Albin-223 and Albin-59 appear to represent the same person because: Parents & siblings have matching ID's.

What more evidence is required when parents & siblings all have the same profile ID's!

As such I will remove the postponement and propose a remerge!!
