Albright-1001 and Albright-658 appear to represent the same person because: One only had years. When I added the full dates this became an obvious duplicate.

Please add a link to this fellow's entry in the DAR database. You can see him here:

http://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A000971

Using the DAR template gets the following that should be added to the bio:

"Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Genealogical Research Databases, database online, (http://www.dar.org/ : accessed April 18, 2017), "Record of Henry Albright", Ancestor # A000971."

Without the quotes. Removing the quotes and that code returns:

Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Genealogical Research Databases, database online, (http://www.dar.org/ : accessed April 18, 2017), "Record of Henry Albright", Ancestor # A000971.

Thanks.
