About Albert Albertson, Sr.

Not a proven child of 'Nicholas Albeson the Swede'


"The first Albertson ancestor of whom we can be certain was an Albert Albertson, who was in North Carolina very early, at least by 1668 when he married there" (p. 289, The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011).


Albert Albertson, Sr., is listed on the Order of First Families of North Carolina.

Mary married Albert Albertson on 20 Dec 1668 in Perquimans, NC

According to the book "Descendants of GEORGE AND SARAH TILDEN SUTTON", pp. 2, 6, 14 and 15, I have the following on Mary, wife of Albert Albertson and mother of Nathaniel Albertson (who married Abigail Nicholson):

Mary Sutton

  • b. ca. 1642 in England
  • d. 10 January 1720 in Perquimans, NC

The wife of Albert Albertson, Mary (Sutton) Gosby, was born Mary Sutton. She was a widow of John Gosby/Gosbey of Long Island. She was daughter of George Sutton and Sarah Tilden, daughter of Puritan immigrants Nathaniel Tilden and Lydia Huckstep of Scituate, MA.


Disputed Origins http://family.beacondeacon.com/newby.htm#albertson===

Albert Albertson is seen as the son of Nicholas Albertson of Scituate, Massachusetts. The Scituate inhabitant was called 'Nicholas Albeson the Swede' in a report by soldiers of the town during Phillip's War in 1676. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth identify Nicholas Albeson in 1674 as one who was brought before the court for various offenses, including 'breach of the Sabbath and pilfering and telling a lye in his examination' and who was 'centanced by the Court to be publickly whipt' which 'accordingly was inflicted.' ... The book Old Scituate also describes that in 1676, the hut of 'Nicholas the sweede Albeson' burned down and the town later voted to allow him three pounds towards rebuilding his house.
Though it is possible that our ancestor, Albert Albertson, could have been related to the Nicholas Albertson of Massachusetts, it is not likely, and there is no evidence whatsoever to support that hypothesis. It is more likely that our ancestor, Albert Albertson, was of English origin. Albertson is an English language patronymic surname meaning the obvious, i.e., 'son of Albert,' and records of its use for centuries can be found in that country" (p. 289, The History of the Hunt Family by Roger D. Hunt, 2011).


”Albert Albertson was born in October 1642 in Perquimans, North Carolina, [SIC] the only child of Nicholas and Mary [SIC]. He married (widow) Mary Gosbey on December 20, 1668, in Perquimans, North Carolina. They had six children during their marriage. He died on February 28, 1701, in Perquimans, North Carolina, at the age of 58.”

… By looking at other court cases I have found that several of the men that testified with Albert were seamen and this makes it quite likely that Albert was as well. Looking at the next page I also find that the Ship Ann was docked at Marblehead at the time. The fact that I do not find him listed as a householder is not a surprise do to the fact that single men could not live alone by law as I see by other court cases. This puts an Albert Albertson, George Sutton, Nicolas Albesen, and Christopher Nicholson all in the same area in 1662.
