I have been trying to fill odd gaps within my family history. Ones the my father grandfather and grandmother have not been able to fill. I don’t know if anyone here can help me figure out the mystery with in my family line, but I had to ask.
During my great grandfathers line half of the kids changed there names from Metcalf to Myers, a few kept their last name, and a few changed their last names to either Morgan or Morton.
I know the main begining point is James H Metcalf whom was married to a Lydia ( maiden name, Curtis) They wed in the year 1888 in Kentucky.
James H Metcalf was born in 1864 in Kentucky, no known death date
Lydia Curtis was born in 1872. I have found the last name jumbled from time to time. in Lydia’s 1920 census she listed herself as widowed, however on 1924 when her daughter Gladys was married she listed her father James H. Metcalf as being in Bellefonte, PA.
Their kids were;
Earl Metcalf, 1892–1964 Have no other info on him
Lydia Pearl Metcalf, 1894–1967
James Harvey Metcalf, 1896–1961
Charles Richard Myers, 1898-1962 (previously Charles M Metcalf, my great great grandfather)
Curtis H. Metcalf- 1902–Deceased (He was married 3 times total) 3rd marriage to a Mary G. Maciejewska
Gladys Ethelyn Metcalf, 1903–1978 Married to a Clarence Frances Beck June 24, 1924 in penssylvania
John ( Jack) Metcalf, 1907–1961
Walter Metcalf, 1909–1963
I think I have determined who James H Metcalf’s (brn 1864) father is but not sure since the name is shuffle around so much. I think it may be Ignatius Marion P Metcalf/Medcalf/Metcalfe (Born 1827 in Kentucky )whom was married to a Nancy ( maiden name Duncan, whom was born in 1830) in 1849. He later seems to use Marion Metcalf instead of his full name found on an 1870 Census conducted in Kentucky. And possibly also had his name misprinted as Arion Metcalf which I did come across and it seemed to be the same person.
I have more but it is rather difficult to type it all out. I am not even sure if anyone can help me fill in the gaps either.
