Biographical Sketch of Joseph Albin, Johnson Co, Missouri Simpson Township

>From "The History of Johnson Co, Missouri," KS City Historical Co. 1881

JOSEPH ALBIN, P.O. Warrensburg.

It was in Guernsey county, OH, where Joseph Albin first beheld the light of day [son of William and Nancy]. It was there also that he had attended the common schools and received his education. His ancestors came from Virginia. Early in the fall of 1857, he moved to Effingham county, Illinois, where he commenced life's struggles for himself, and the succeeding year, 1858, he married Miss Margaret Gillmore, a native of Illinois. Here he lived, farming until 1868, when he again emigrated west, his destination being Dodge county, Missouri, where he purchased a farm and lived until the time he located in Johnson county, Missouri, which occurred in 1879, where he now lives on one of the prettiest farms in Johnson county. During his life he has reared a family of eight children, only one of whom is married. The soil of Mr. Albin's farm is of the richest quality, which characterizes the township of which it is a part; also the yard surrounding his residence presents an appearance, fully in keeping up with the surroundings, and shows what pluck and industry can attain.
