William was the son of Robert Albin and Sarah Cansey, also from Ireland and they are buried there. William was an orphan and only five years of age when he came to this country. He was raised in Chester Co., PA and when about 21 years old he went to Virginia with two of his cousins. Estimated time was 1739. He was married in 1744 to Mary Bruce, who was born in Scotland and Christened June 3, 1715 at Portsoy, Fordyce Parish, Banff, Scotland. She was brought to this country at the age of 9, lived in PA and also moved to Virginia where she met William.
The first record of William found in Frederick Co.., was in 1745 when he declared himself titheable. Land records indicate that he applied for warrants for a total for 1,078 acres from lord Fairfax, just north of red Bud, and west of the Opeckon. Of William's original 1,078 acres he retained only 189 acres, law suits filed by Wiliam and others were common at that time. Another serious problem were the Indian uprisings.
In 1764, William Albin, John Parrell and Joseph Parrell, were appointed by the Frederick Co. Court to view the ground leading from the Lew Neill's Mill to the town of Winchester and make their report. Whereupon it is ordered that a road be opened, this by then said of, and that the titheables two miles and half on each side thereof.
William, like many of his neighbors and Quaker freinds, paid their filing fees to obtain warrants from Fairfax. No doubt their experiences had conditioned them to expect that it as futile to try to win against the English nobility.
