Son of:
-- Andrew Jackson Albright
-- Sarah J. Hudson
Husband of:
-- Mary Alice Boyd
-- Cornelia Josephine Bird (m. 18-Sep-1889 in Atlanta, GA)
Father of (with Alice):
-- Infant Son (1879)
-- William R. Albright (1881-?)
-- Frederick S. Albright (1884-1910)
Father of (with Carrie):
-- Ruby Albright (1891-?)
-- Ethel Marie Albright (1895-1976)
-- Lucy E. Albright (1897-?)
-- Walton Hoyt Albright (1902-1968)
-- ? Albright (1900 U.S. Federal Census states that Carrie had birthed four children, of which three - Lucille, Ruby and Ethel - were living)
Walter was a twin to Rev. Graham Franklin Albright.
No trace of Walter's father, Andrew, is ever found past the Civil War. He simply vanishes from records while Walter is still a boy in Chester, SC.
By 1875, Walter, his mother and siblings have fled the dangerous security situation in South Carolina after the war, landing in Greenville, Texas. Walter married Alice Boyd, of Lancaster, SC, and by 1879 they'd had at least one son, who died as an infant. They continued to live in Greenville, and she gave birth at least twice more - Willie and Freddie.
Sometime between 1884 and 1886 the family moved to Atlanta, GA, where Alice died in 1888.
By the next year, Walter had remarried to Josie Bird. With his 2nd wife, Walter had five children, the name of one of whom is currently unknown, hinted at by the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, where Josie was listed as having had four children, three of whom where still living. By the time of Walter and Josie's deaths, they'd had one more boy, Hoyt.
Around 1904, Walter took his family to Montgomery, Alabama, where he continued his trade as a carpenter. Why this sudden move is not really known, but it could have been partially related to the significant criminal record being racked up in Atlanta by son Fred, which kept the family paying through the nose bailing him out and paying his fines and restitution.
Walter suddenly and unexpectedly died of a stroke in 1905, and within another three years, Josie died of tuberculosis. It's interesting that three of the younger children - Hoyt, Ethel and Lucy, were put in an Atlanta orphanage (Home for the Friendless). Josie had siblings, and Walter also had living siblings, including his twin brother, Rev. Graham Albright, so it's a bit of a puzzlement why these children ended up in a home instead of with family. Neither of the parents list any of their living siblings in their obituaries. Were they estranged from their other family, or...?
No trace of Lucy is found after a letter to Santa dated 10-Dec-1909 in the newspaper. Four months later the 1910 U.S. Federal Census was enumerated, and Lucy was gone from the orphanage. Ruby was old enough to perhaps have become married, but Lucy was only 12 years old by the time of the 1910 U.S. Federal Census, in which she is not found, so it can only be surmised that she died, was adopted out, or ran away from the orphanage. Hoyt and Ethel Marie are still found in that orphanage in the 1910 census, but not Lucy.
Ethel went to school in New York City to be a school teacher, living in that area for the rest of her life, and died in 1976, having evidently never married nor produced descendants.
Hoyt aged out of the orphanage and moved to southern California. He died in Portland, Oregon at the age of 66, and is buried in a military cemetery. It's not clear if he produced descendants, although there are no records found as yet indicating that he did.
No trace whatsoever of William is found after the 1900 census. Not in the papers, not in vital records - nothing.
Alas, the same cannot be said of Fred, who was, by all accounts, an unrelenting train wreck. Beginning when he was a teenager, he was nearly constantly arrested and charged with larceny, burglary, vagrancy, robbery, assault, kidnapping and attempted murder. On 14-May-1910, he finally overdosed on cocaine in Birmingham, Alabama, dying in the city jail's hospital, where he was taken after he was found. The police noted that it was obvious he was a habitual addict. Before he died, he told police in that city that he had one brother and one sister in Atlanta. It's documented that Ethel and Hoyt were both still alive, so perhaps this is an indirect indication that Ruby, Lucy and William had all perished by the time of Fred's death. It's still not yet known if the police managed to contact his remaining family in Atlanta to claim Fred's body, or if they'd have even been in a position to do so, since both of the aforementioned were still inmates of the Home for the Friendless orphanage.
