Frederick's will lists just three descendants - two daughters and a granddaughter.  But the 1790 census lists 9 people - 3 males and 6 females.  Whether they are children that were not included in the will, or servants, I do not yet know.

A brief History of Schaeferstown (see Research at the bottom of this post) lists Matthias and Magdalena, followed by "Frederick  Albright and Mary Margaret his wife".  This leads me to believe that Fredericks wife is Mary Margaret, but I have no other sources to confirm this thought.

There was a Frederick Albright Jr in this area, so it's important to check dates and be sure WHICH Frederick served.   It helps that this article, above, states that it was the Frederick who lived in Penn twp 1776-1787, that might help clarify. If the Frederick Jr was his son, he was not mentioned in this Fredericks will.

Adam Stahl was born June 30, 1778, and was but a boy when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Snyder county, where he subsequently married Eve Susanna Albright, who was born May 10, 1782. Her father, Frederick Albright, was one of the very earliest settlers of Flintstone Valley, where he located several years previous to 1788, as a warrant for land was issued to him November 27 of that year. His farm, comprising 159 acres in Washington township, Snyder county, was called " Garter Snake." On September 22, 1800, Adam Stahl purchased of his father-in-law sixty-two acres of the " Garter Snake " tract, where he continued to live until 1822, and upon the place conducted a distillery, being one of twelve in Washington township at that time engaged in that business. On leaving that farm he removed to Union township, Snyder county, where he passed his remaining days, dying October 16, 1863. His wife had died on the 3d of April, of the same year, and 
both were laid to rest in Reiser cemetery. Union township. He was a powerful man, weighing about 220 pounds, was a shoemaker by trade, a Whig in politics, and a Lutheran in religious belief. - J.H. Beers & Co. Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania (Volume p. 615-1231) 

Note - Snyder County was not formed until 1855 - it was Northumberland County, then Union County was formed in 1813 and Snyder County was later formed from Union County. So although Frederick lived in what is present day Snyder County, it was Northumberland County for the 1790 census, and Union County when he died.
