Hi All, not sure how many people read here still, but I was hoping to match up to others related to me before dad passed, so I could maybe pass on more info to him, about our Metcalf side.
Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer (right off the bat) September 13, 2012, I posted here in January 2013, and he died on Father’s Day this year, June 16, 2013.
Hoping people still read this and maybe are willing to share links to family trees or something? I have numerous family trees at Ancestry.com, for DNA projects and such, and am going to create one that is just people related to my Metcalfs.
I had my Dad and I do atDNA testing for genealogy before he started chemo last fall, and have met a couple of metcalfs that way, it’s sooo awesome, atNDA. I highly encourage others to do it. If you aren’t familiar, I am happy to explain. I have atDNA testing at Ancestry.com and 23andme.com. Dad has his at 23andme.com and FTDNA.com.
Here is my line again, I descend from:
Mary Susan Metcalf and Joseph Simeon Alexander, were my GG Grandparents. Mary Susan was born 1860 in Boone, KY and died in 1897 in Big HIll, KY,
Mary Susan was the daughter of my GGG Grandparents, William (Norris) Metcalf and Sarah Milley Cornelious.
William was born in 1828 in London, Laurel, KY and died in 1885 in Maplesville, Laurel, KY,
William was the son of my GGGG Grandparents, James Metcalf and Mary “Polly” Black.
James was born in 1794 in Buncombe County, North Carolina and died in 1863 in Pond Lick Creek, Jackson, Kentucky,
James was the son of my GGGGG Grandparents Norris Metcalf and Jane Claypoole,
Norris was born in 1765 in Tennessee and died 1841 in Grundy, Missouri.
Norris was the son of my 6th G Grandparents, Anthony Metcalf Mary Polly Hogan.
Anthony was born in 1731 in Fauquier, Virginia and died September 17, 1813 in Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia.
Anthony was the son of my 7th G Grandparents, James Metcalf and Mary Norris.
I still need to look back a recall how it is verified about Anthony Metcalf if my 7th G Grandfather. But I know people who have researched pretty thoroughly.
I have been in contact with atDNA genealogy matches who have thorough research on our Metcalf line also.
Hope everyone is healthy,
Sal
