Richard's property was where the Muskingum River power plant is now. No wonder the family brought his body across the Muskingum River and buried at Andrews Cemetery. His wife may have been buried next to him. The family moved to the head of Whipple Run in 1835. 1850 Census named "Albgiry" probably due to mispronunciation. 1860 & 1870 Ohio Census at age 64-74 he was blind. His four sons (Richard, John, Anthony, Joseph) were in Civil War. All came back home alive after the Battle of Five Forks and Appomattox. His son John may have claimed his or someone who is related directly to him. Three medals shown on a picture are Richard's sons - Richard, Anthony and Joseph Allbery. Each medal has the name and regiment embossed along the edge. As of this date (10/10/2014) no photographs of those 4 Civil War veterans are known, apparently, to exist, a number of photographs of their medals have come to light from their Civil War regiment, the 2nd WVA cavalry. This unit distinguished itself during the war at places well known and obscure. Barlow Library does not have any photographs of those brothers named except for other fellow veterans on the wall.
