Albert McConkey, b June 1862 in New Cumberland, WV

I show your Albert in the New Cumberland Twp., Hancock Co., WV in the 1900 WV census (Supv. Dist 9, Enum Dist 38, sheet 15).It appears to me that in the 1910 census for the same location he probably has a new wife named Celeste, age 46, b OH and children Alice 22, Joseph 18, Margaret 16, Eunice 13, A. H. age not given, and Elizabeth age 9.In the 1920 census.Albert H. also appears in 1920 census with wife Celeste age 57, Virginia D. age 16, and Billy age 10.
Although Albert's birth state is shown as West Virginia, with a date of 1862, we know that was part of Virginia at the time frame.
In the 1870 census for Wellsburg, Brooke Co., WV on p 536, dw 236, fam 249 is a Carpenter Josh McConkey age 60, born Ohio, housewife Marian age 61, born Ohio, Albert H. age 8, born Virgina and Catherine Boyd, age 66, born Ohio.
I apparently do not have Josh in the 1860 census but he appears in Brook Co for 1850, pg 240, dw 250, fam 250 as:Joseph McConkey age 40, carpenter, born Ohio, Marian age 40, born Ohio; Marian, age 14, born Ohio, and J (or I or G), male age 12, born Virginia.
I may have some more census data (1860) or earlier which I will look for.
If I can be of more help please ask.I have not tied this Joseph to my Ohio McConkeys but there were at least two large families in eastern Ohio by 1810.
