Several years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Old Brick Church in Guliford County, that you speak of in your post on the Albrights.I took many photos of headstones there from the Clapp families.Among the photos I also got one of the headstone of Daniel Albright (b. 1-30-1771 d. 4-26-1843)72 yrs 2 mo 26 days.If any Albrights are interested in a copy of this photo contact me at
