Biography

Jacob was born about 1795.

On October 15, 1865, Henry Albright married Christiana Bentz, the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hamman) Bentz. Her father, who was a native of Germany, came to America in young manhood with his parents and settled in Ohio, where he became a farmer and remained active in that vocation until the time of his death in 1867. His wife, who was born in Ohio in 1843, spent her entire life in that state. To them were born thirteen children, Margaret, John, Jacob, George, Philip, Elizabeth, Adeline, Lucinda, Catherine, Sarah, Christiana, Henry and Daniel, of whom Margaret and Christiana are the only survivors. ^[1]
