Son of Jacob & Lavina (Baxter) McAfee. Albert was born in Linn County, Iowa. The family moved to Livingston County, Missouri, where the parents died leaving the family of young boys to be scattered among relatives and neighbors.
Albert may have served in the Civil War as a young teamster, which is indicated on his tombstone, but this remains in question. We do know that he joined the 19th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry in October 1868, a unit which supported Custer in fighting the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma and Kansas in 1868-1869.
After his service in the Indian Wars, Albert made his way to Arkansas, where he homesteaded a place in Prairie County, Arkansas, and married his first wife Johney Elizabeth Bees/Underwood. They had one child, Nettie. Johney died of a miscarriage in 1879 and Albert then married Mary Brock, with whom he had five children.
Albert & Mary moved to Texas in the early 1880s, living first in Travis County and later in Bastrop County.
