John Albin was the son of William and Mary (Bruce) Albin.
John Albin was born circa 1740 in Frederick County, Virginia. John married Ann McNeil circa 1770 in Winchester, Frederick County. He married later than his younger brothers. Ann McNeil was born circa 1754, christened in 1768. Ann died after 1820, she was mentioned in her husband's 1820 will. John served in the French and Indian War in 1758 under Col. Wm. Byrd in the 2nd Virginia Regiment and in Capt. Hancock Eustace's Company when Gen. James Forbes captured Fort Duquesne. Like his father, John was an overseer of the building of roads in Frederick County from at least 1771-1773. In 1776 John and Ann were living in what is now Harrison County, West Virginia (Harrison County created in 1784 from Monongalia County, in 1776 became Monongalia, formerly West Augusta District, part of Augusta County, Virginia). He may have obtained this land from his service in the Revolutionary War. John served in the Virginia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War circa 1777, a sergeant in the infantry.
In 1782 John paid taxes in Monongalis County on seven white persons, probably five childen, no black persons. In 1785, now Harrison County, there were again seven white persons and only one dwelling. In 1789 there were two titheables (males over 16 of age, including the head of family). In 1793 there were three titheables, two of his sons were now approaching adulthood. He appeared on the census in 1790 in Harrison County, his household contained seven white and one black person. He appeared on the tax lists until 1811, when he had moved to Green County, Ohio (Clark County in 1818). He signed his will on April 4, 1820 in Green Township, Cark County, Ohio. He died on April 16, 1820 and was buried in Ebenezer Cemetery, Green Township. In 1772, John and Ann sold the land he had inherited from his father, William. Since William left no will, under the law of primogeniture, John would have been the oldest living son. John probably sold the land because his mother, Mary Bruce, was dead and he wanted to settle the estate. If Mary were still alive, she would have had a one-third dower interest in the estate.
