Notes on Thomas Metcalf:
“Metcalf, Thomas, s. Samuel and _____, Aug. 9, 17__.”1
“Metcalf, Thomas, s. Samuel, Aug. 26, 1764, bap. C. R.”2
“1788 . . . Novr 26th were joined together in marriage Mr Thomas Metcalf and Miss Sybil Chapin.”3
“Thomas Metcalf and Sibbyl Chapin were joined in marriage together Novr 26th 1788.”4
See also Ricker, 8739.5
Thomas was born on 9 August 1764 in Oakham, Massachusetts.6 He married Sybil Chapin on 26 November 1788 in Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut. During 1785–88 Thomas was active in Enfield in several land transactions.7 He was living in Enfield in 1790 with his wife and daughter Sybil.8
Thomas moved to Corinth, Orange County, Vermont, in early March 1800, probably to join his mother and brothers Ebenezer, Samuel and Alpha.9 The move seems to have been temporary and he apparently returned to Enfield by 1801 when son Ebenezer was born.
For many years Thomas was a pilot on rafts on the Connecticut River.10 He ultimately settled in Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio, in 1819,11 joining his son Thomas and daughters Sybil and Sidney who had arrived in 1817. He died on 16 March 1827 in Chardon. Sybil became blind and helpless about 1839 and died there on 6 March 1859.
Horace Metcalf, Thomas’ nephew, wrote in 1903:12
Thomas . . . Born August 9th 1764 married Sybil Chapin and acted as pilot for rafts for many years on Connecticut River finally settled in Chardon, Ohio where he raised a large family of children that settled in various parts of the west and south. The youngest of them, Oren, in Natchez, Mississippi. He was living as late as 1888. Martin Metcalf says he [Oren] was a Brigadier General in the Confederate service in the war of the Rebellion [not true, just Sheriff of Natchez] and that he had several sons eminent lawyers in San Francisco, California.
Thomas and Sybil had twelve children, all but Asa born in Enfield, Connecticut. Herein the terminal e is added to the surname of those emigrating to Mississippi.

Notes on Maj. Horace Metcalf:
Horace’s marriage and death are listed in Ricker, 8736.1
“1823 . . . August 4th Maj. Horace Metcalf & Sybil Chapin.”2
“Last evening I solemnized a marriage between Maj. Horace Metcalf and Sibyl Chapin 2d both of this town. Enfield Augt 5 A. D. 1823, Entd Augt 6, 1823. Francis L. Robbins.”3
“1829 . . . September 14th Major Horace Metcalf of billious fever (A Mason buried in Masonic style) aged 38.”4
“Administration granted to Nathll Prior 21 Sept. 1829. Inventory $5027.69. Widow’s third set out to Sybil Metcalf 29 Nov. 1830.”5
Chapin6 said Maj. Horace, son of Thomas and Sibyl (Chapin) Metcalf of Enfield, Connecticut, was born on 23 March 1791. He married Sibyl Chapin, daughter of Simon and Beulah (Prior) Chapin, on 4 August 1823. She was born on 30 April 1803 in Enfield. They had three children. Horace died on 14 September 1829, age 38. Sibyl married second Rev. James Ely of Thompsonville, Connecticut, who was born in 1798. She died on 18 October 1889 or 1890.
Horace and Sybil were first cousins.
Of note, “1836 . . . Feb. 19th a child of Horace Metcalf who has recently moved here [died in Enfield and was] buried in Longmeadow aged sixteen months.”7 Also, “1840 . . . December 3d Horace Metcalf [died] of consumption aged 36 who deceased in this town and buried in Longmeadow.”8 That Horace was probably married to Jane Nichols on 12 December 1830, and seems to be no immediate relation to this Horace Metcalf.

An article about Thomas in an 1880 book, is duplicated below:8
Thomas Metcalf, having survived nearly all of his early associates, still resides in Chardon, and is in his eighty-first year. Mr. Metcalf, who is the fifth of a family of twelve children of Thomas and Sybil (Chapin) Metcalf, was born in Enfield, Hartford county, Connecticut, January 10, 1798. He came to Ohio and located in Chardon in 1817, arriving June 24th. Six others accompanied him, none of whom are now living, viz: Samuel Smith and his wife, Sybil (Mr. Metcalf’s sister, the eldest of the family), their two children, Horton and Maria; Sidney Metcalf (another sister, then but thirteen years old, who, in 1824, became the wife of Dr. Denton, and two years after his death married Jude Converse), and one Benjamin Hibbard. On the journey to Ohio, which occupied six weeks, he drove a yoke of oxen and lead horse, then called a “spike team,” for his board. After his arrival in Chardon he worked for about a year and a half for his brother-in-law, Mr. Smith, subsequently known for many years as the landlord of the popular old Stone tavern, in the village, who first located and opened a tavern in the north part of town. He then took up one hundred acres of land at the center of Chardon, now owned and occupied by Mr. Samuel Churchill, where his parents afterwards settled, and where his father died and now lies buried. He there erected a log shanty, and kept ‘bachelor’s hall’ for about a year. His parents followed him to Ohio in 1819. In 1824 he removed to the village, and built a house, the frame of which is standing as a part of the old homestead on North Hambden street, still occupied by himself and family. He also built an ashery on the same premises, and near the site afterwards occupied by the cooper shop burned in 1876. This ashery he occupied for some twenty years. His father died March 17, 1828, aged sixty-two; his mother, March 6, 1859, at the great age of ninety years. Mr. Metcalf was united in marriage on November 15, 1827, to Paulina, daughter of Jedediah and Charlotte Beard, of Burton. Twelve children were born of this union, eight of whom are still living, and exemplify in their lives the virtues of their parents. The Metcalfs, wherever found, seem to have had a common origin, and to possess the same sterling characteristics—honesty, intelligence, frugality, and independence. In 1873, at the age of sixty-five, Mrs. Metcalf was stricken with paralysis, from which she has never recovered, though otherwise enjoying, with her husband, a good degree of health.
Thomas obituary was printed in the Natchez Democrat, quoting from the Geauga Republican, and is duplicated below:
Death of Thom. Metcalfe
The following notice of the death of Mr. Thos. Metcalfe, brother of our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. Oren Metcalfe, is from the Geauga Republican, Chardon, Ohio, dated 29th:
“Chardon and Geauga County have lost another venerated pioneer resident in the death of Thomas Metcalfe, which occured at his home in this place last Saturday afternoon, the 25th inst., in the ninety-fourth year of his age. The deceased was a native of Connecticut, but removed to Chardon when a mere boy, and here he has ever since resided, his history being identified with that of the town and county for a period of about seventy-five years. He early married Miss Paulina Beard, of Burton, whom he has survived about eight years. A family of twelve children, seven of whom, four sons and three daughters, survive to honor the memory and illustrate the virtues of their parents, were the fruit of this fortunate and happy union. Mr. Metcalfe possessed a strongly marked character, and was known to all for his manly independence, indomitable energy and sterling integrity, united with which were a kindness of heart and youthfulness of spirit that made his life beautiful to the end. In his early and more active years, he was entrusted by his fellow citizens with many public duties, which were always faithfully discharged, and no citizen was ever more justly honored or respected. His death leaves but one survivor of a family of twelve, Oren Metcalfe, Esq., of Natchez, Miss.
“The funeral will be held at the family residence on North Hamilton street, on Wednesday, at 2 p. m.”
Mr. Metcalfe, we believe, was not known to many people here, and had only visited Natchez probably once during his life.

Notes on Paulina Beard:
A history of Geauga County tells of Paulina’s father, Jedediah:1
Colonel Jedediah Beard, a brother of Amariah, came out in the fall of 1799, and October 17th, bought lot 27, where Noah Pages now has the stone house. The next spring he bought Tomlinson’s lot, in the town plat, at $5.00 per acre. This is the 1st record of sale of town property. Originally from Massachusetts, the Beards located for a time in Granville, Washington county, N. Y. Mrs. Beard’s maiden name was Charlotte Nichols.
1800. February 22—They started from Granville for Burton with three children—Thomas, Thalia and Amey. All the household goods of this family were in a two-horse sleigh. From Buffalo they drove one day on the lake ice, at night camping at the mouth of Cattaraugus creek. Beds were made of hemlock brush. The snow melted, and in the night Mrs. Beard was awakened by the uncomfortable feeling of water rising throught the brush. Lake winds shifted the ice to Canada, and they built the next day shanties of their sleigh and one that General Paine and his family had come in, and camped. John Moss was sent on to Burton for Amariah Beard, who got a batteaux boat at Fairport, and went to them. Paine had secured a boat, and they loaded goods and sleighs, and sailed out together, Amariah and another man bringing the cattle through the woods.
Mrs. Beard, fearing the boats, walked all the way to Fairport, carrying in her arms a child one year old—Amey (afterwards Mrs. Orrin Canfield, of Chardon), General Paine’s hired girl walked with her. The boats were signalled in, and the land and boat parties camped together every night but one. At Fairport Mrs. Beard was sick in General Paine’s tent for several days. Two pairs of oxen and sled were sent from Burton for their goods, and hauled them through. Mrs. Beard was so weak as to fall five times from her horse in riding from Painesville. There was not a house on the road, and but 5 or 6 in Burton, when they arrived May 4th. The fall before he had made some trade for the mill property on the west branch, and took possession this year in June, locating himself in a bark shanty, east of the stream near where the bridge now is, west of the village. . . .
The Indians locked fingers with Colonel Beard one day, and he pulled one out of joint. They called him “big stout,” and were shy of him.
One evening Mrs. Beard and the children were alone, the door unlatched. An Indian head peeped in, then two came in. They went to the fire and laid down to warm. One was drunk. She ordered them out. The Indian said, “no go out—sleep.” She taught them respect. Deliberately grasping the fire shovel, she drove them out and fastened the door behind them. They had so wholesome a fear of Beard as not to return, but went to Parks’ house, south, and broke in the windows.
A hurricane came upon Mr. Beard, Kirtland, and John Ford. They were out dividing land. The roar was fearful, and the cry was, “run for the alder swamp,” which they did, escaping the crushing fall of the heavy timber.
The Kirtland story of cooking snakes was current. Col. Beard expected him to dinner, and, Hayes says, killed one of the charmers and served it up, Kirtland pronouncing it good.
. . . 1812. In the war—Col. Beard commanded the regiment of militia in the district composed of what is now Geauga, Lake, Cuyahoga, Lorain and Huron counties, and was with the men who went to Cleveland to meet the foe, at the time of Hull’s surrender. Gen. Paine was the militia brigade commander.
. . . Colonel Beard will be remembered as tall and erect, in his old age, with white hair braided in the old-fashioned cue, that trailed behind upon his shoulders. Oftentimes in the house of John A. Ford, he listened to the preaching of Elder William Collins, and, with his wife, became a Disciple.
[Mrs. Beard] was a lady of quiet and domestic habits, with strong attachments, never quite losing the desire to return east. At Beardstown, Illinois, January, 1840, she died. In the house of his son Thomas, an acid, or preparation for polishing brass band instruments was mistaken by Colonel Beard for salts. He took a dose and was poisoned, living only a few days, dying in Beardstown, in 1843, aged 75.

Notes on Dr. Asa Baldwin Metcalfe:
Chapin1 said Asa B., son of Thomas and Sibyl (Chapin) Metcalf, was born on 9 March 1800 on the road from Vermont to Connecticut. He was a physican and lived in New Orleans. He married Barbara Harris and they had four children. He died in California.
According to the DAR,2 Asa married Barbara Allen Harris on 6 June 1826. Asa graduated from medical college in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1829 he moved with his family to Adams County, Mississippi. There he participated in many land transactions.3
Asa and his family were enumerated in the 1840 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi.4
At some time Asa lived and practiced medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana, down and across the Mississippi River from Natchez.
In the Spring of 1849 Asa went to California at the time of the Gold Rush. He died on 5 November 1850 in Sacramento, California, and was buried there. That same winter Asa’s widow and daughters Emma and Ellen went to San Francisco aboard the steamship Golden Gate by way of the Isthmus of Panama with other Natchez citizens (including Colonel Louis Saunders and Colonel A. P. Crittenden and their families). Asa’s widow died on 26 July 1891 in Berkeley, California.
Asa’s obituary appeared in the San Francisco News on 27 December 1850:
Metcalfe, Dr. Asa B. Died in Sacramento City on the 5th of Nov. last, of Cholera, Dr. Asa B. Metcalfe in the fifty first year of his life. Dr. Metcalfe was attacked with this dreadful disease . . . late in the night of the 4th inst., and so rapid was it’s progress that in 4 hours he was a corpse . . . Dr. Metcalfe arrived in California little more than a year since wither he came for the purpose of establishing his 2 sons in business. He was a resident of Kingston, Adams Co., Miss. at which place he had lived for the past 20 years. It was his intention to return sometimes next spring to his home in Kingston where he left the remainder of his family, consisting of his wife and 2 daughters. Dr. Metcalfe was a physician of experence in the profession. His sudden and unexpected death will cast a deep gloom not only over his immediate family but a large circle of friends in the state from whence he came.
Some information is from Paula Stewart. She writes:

According to the DAR,1 Barbara Allen Harris was born on 24 March 1802 in Plainfield, Connecticut, of New England Puritan and Quaker stock. Her father, William Harris, was a direct descendant of Thomas Harris who, with his brother William, associated with Roger Williams in founding Providence, Rhode Island. Her mother was Barbara Allen, a cousin of Ethan Allen. In 1820 William and Barbara had emigrated from Connecticut to Hiram, Portage County, Ohio, then called New Connecticut.

Metcalfe, and mother of Mrs. F. J. McHenry and Mrs. E. M. Hay, aged 90 years, 4 months and 2 days.” This indicates she was born on 24 March 1801, not 1802.
Some of the information is from Paula Stewart. She writes:

Notes on Jude Converse:
A history of Geauga County tells of Jude:1
In the olden of Chardon times, just west of the Chardon house, which was built in the earliest of Geauga years, by Norman Canfield, and is still the solid heart and center of the present flourishing hotel of Benton & Co., on the left of Water street, back of its little lawn, was the pleasant cottage of Jude and Sidney Converse. The lawn had young trees and shrubs rising in it, and in their season many beautiful flowers.
Jude Converse was a native of, and reared in, Vermont. An older brother was Governor Julius Converse, of that State. Mrs. French, mother of the late John French, was a sister, as also Mrs. Eleanor Hoyt, of Cleveland. Jude was then a frank, handsome, gay-hearted, young merchant of Chardon. Sidney, a woman of rare endowments, was a Metcalf, a younger sister of the late Mrs. Samuel Smith, of Chardon, with whom she migrated from her native Connecticut in 1817; also of Thomas Metcalf, of Chardon; Orrin Metcalf, of Mississippi, and the late Dr. [Asa] Metcalf. When she was twenty years old, she became the wife of the late Dr. Evert Denton, of Chardon, then in the hey-day of his brilliant career, a widower with four small children, and by whom she became the mother of Mr. R. E. Denton, now of Chardon, also of Sybil, a lovely girl, who died many years ago. She lost her first husband in 1830. In 1832, when she was twenty-eight, and Jude was twenty-six, they were married, and began that life-long union of rare felicity in which each supplied to the other that which secured happiness, spite of the reverses of fortune which overtook, and would have darkened almost any home not made bright by such a woman as Sidney was, and warm by the love to which both so steadily ministered.

O. Metcalfe, 3 males 20 and under 30, 1 female 15 and under 20. Actually, Oren was 30 years old, and Zuleika was 18.
In 1850 Oren was a merchant in Natchez and he and Zuleika were raising sons John Thomas Winn, Julius Oren, James Bard and William Lyons. (First son Joseph Albert had died in infancy in 1840 and fifth son Charles also had died in infancy in 1849.)
Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1850 federal census of Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:10
O. Metcalfe, 37 [sic, 40], male, merchant, born Connecticut.
Z. R. Metcalfe, 27 [sic, 28], female, born Mississippi.
Jno. T. Metcalfe, 9, male, born Mississippi, attended school within the year.
Julius O. Metcalfe, 7, male, born Mississippi.
Jas. B. Metcalfe, 5 [sic, 4], male, born Mississippi.
Infant Metcalfe, 6/12, male, born Mississippi.
At this time Oren was also engaged in planting, but in 1851 he was elected county Sheriff. In 1857 Oren and Zuleika purchased Ravenna, a home at 601 South Union Street in Natchez that sits in an informal park facing a large ravine (after which it was named).11 In purely Greek Revival style with Doric columns on the first floor and Ionic columns on the second, it was built in 1835 by William Harris, a Natchez cotton broker, real estate developer and merchant. It passed through the hands of several owners before it was bought by Oren and Zuleika. It stayed in the family for nearly a hundred years, being closed in 1952. It is now the home of Catherine Brandon Morgan. The grounds were described as abounding in dogwood, redbud, huge magnolias and cedars. It is probably best known for its ancient azaleas and camellias set in wandering gardens. Inside the house is an exquisite three-story elliptical stairway that sweeps upward unsupported, in the best ante bellum tradition. Some of the present furnishings belonged to Oren and Zuleika, notably the large dining table, twelve dining chairs and a pair of handblown and embellished hurricane globes.
By 1860 Oren was wealthy ($28,000 in real estate and $45,000 in personal property) and was the Sheriff of Adams County. He and Zuleika were raising three more children: son John Inge12 and daughters Zuleika Rosalie and Medora.
Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1860 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:13
O. Metcalfe, 49 [sic, 50], male, Sheriff, real property $28,000, personal property $15,000, born Massachusetts [sic].
Zuleka Metcalfe, 38, female, born Mississippi.
Thomas Metcalfe, 18 [sic, 19], male, born Mississippi, attended school within the year.
Julius Metcalfe, 16 [sic, 17], male, born Mississippi, attended school within the yea.
James Metcalfe, 14, male, born Mississippi, attended school within the yea.
William Metcalfe, 10, male, born Mississippi, attended school within the yea.
John Metcalfe, 6, male, born Mississippi.
Zuleka Metcalfe, 4 [sic, 5], female, born Mississippi.
Medora Metcalfe, 2, female, born Mississippi.
Oren was reelected Sheriff for a total of twelve years after which he was appointed for one more year by the Governor. He then returned to merchandising for five years (circa 1865–1870) in which calling he was highly successful.
Oren is said to have served in some capacity during the War Between the States, but no record of his service has been found (and he did serve as County Sheriff during this time). When Natchez was occupied by Union troops, Zuleika was caught using the large ravine in front of her home as a route for smuggling food and supplies to the Confederate troops. Because of her actions, she and her family were forced to leave their home and Zuleika was required to report thereafter to Union officers every day. Ravenna was boarded up until the end of the war, when the Metcalfe family returned to the house.
During the 1860s three more children were born: Anna, Belle and Richard Inge. Daughter Belle died in infancy in 1865. Son John Inge died in 1863 at nine years old, son John Thomas Winn was killed in 1863, a week after Gettysburg, while serving with the Confederate States Army and daughter Medora died in 1867 at nine years old.
In 1870, following the War, Oren was an insurance agent in Natchez with greatly reduced net worth, no doubt due to the aftermath of the War. Zuleika’s young niece, Sallie Medora Lyons, lived with Oren and his six surviving children: Julius Oren, James Bard, William, Zuleika Rosalie, Anna and Richard Inge. Zuleika had just died in Natchez on 15 May of that year (1870), sixteen days short of 48 years old.14, 15
Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1870 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:16
Oren Metcalfe, 56 [sic, 60], male, white, insurance agent, real property $4000, personal property $2000, born Connecticut.
Julius O. Metcalfe, 27, male, white, lawyer, born Mississippi.
James B. Metcalfe, 24, male, white, clerk in bank, born Mississippi.
William L. Metcalfe, 21 [sic, 20], male, white, born Mississippi.

Anna Metcalfe, 9, female, white, born Mississippi, attended school within the year.
Richard I. Metcalfe, 4, male, white, born Mississippi.
Sallie Lyons, 14, female, white born Mississippi, attended school within the year.
In 1880 Oren was still an insurance agent, living with his late wife’s second cousin once removed, Ellen Hibernia Inge (1839–1918), age 40, the widow of Colonel Robert H. Trabue. Son Julius would die later that year. James Bard and William Lyons were living on the west coast.
Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1880 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:17
Oren Metcalfe, white, male, 64 [sic, 70], widowed, insurance agent, born Connecticut, father born Massachusetts, mother born Connecticut.

Judy Wilkins, black, female, 60, cook, widowed, cook, cannot read nor write, born Virginia, father born Virginia, mother born Virginia.
In 1891 Oren’s business was general life and fire insurance, representing the Queen insurance company of England, the Providence of Washington, Rhode Island, the Security of New Haven, Connecticut, and the Home of Georgia, and he had been an elder of the Presbyterian Church of Natchez for thirty-six years (from June 1855). His insurance office was listed in the 1892 Natchez City Directory at 108 North Pearl Street.
Oren served for forty-five years (from May 1850) as a Trustee of Jefferson College, and was such when he died at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, 20 November 1895, in Natchez, age 85.18 He was buried there in the City cemetery.19 A notice appeared in the Natchez Democrat and is given below. Oren and Zuleika had twelve children, three of which served the CSA notably in the War Between the States—John Thomas Winn Metcalfe of the Jeff Davis Legion (killed in action), Julius Oren Metcalfe with the Point Coupee Battery and Lt. James Bard Metcalfe of Breckinridge’s Brigade.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
NATCHEZ, MISS., DEC. 2, 1895The session of this church, meeting under the shadow of the great grief which has befallen them in the death of Mr. Oren Metcalfe, the patriarch of their body on the evening of the 20th of November last, would, in behalf of themselves and the congregation over which they preside, place on record the following tribute of respect and love to their departed associate.
Mr. Metcalfe had reached the ripe age of nearly eighty-six years. He was born at Enfield, Conn., Jan. 28, 1810, removed with his parents to Ohio when about three years old, and a little later than 1830 came to Natchez, Miss. His connection with this church dates from Aug. 30, 1840, and was formed under the ministry of Rev. Samuel Winchester. He was one of the now sparse band of veteran members who can remember this church in the days of its vigorous youth.
He commenced his life in Mississippi at a time when the opening of new fields of enterprise was inviting multitudes of young men in the Southwest. Happily he brought with him a sound religious faith imbibed in a christian home, and an equipment of moral principle and habit derived from this faith. This was his safeguard in a time of special danger from the prevalence of license, extravagance and dissipation in the country. Hence it happened that Mr. Metcalfe, while sharing in the vicissitudes which have in repeated instances wrecked the fortunes of the leading men in this community, was able always to outride these disastrous periods and maintain a respectable competency and reputation without a blot. The confidence of his fellow-citizens was attested by the fact that for a series of years he was invested by their suffrages with the responsible office of sheriff of Adams county.
He was elected to the eldership of this church on the 29th day of June, 1855, in connection with Messrs. L. M. Patterson, Alexander J. Postlethwaite and Thomas C. Pollock, and was ordained on the 8th of July following. All of these companions had preceded him to the glorified church above. He and they are now united in the ministry of the heavenly temple.
For more than forty years our departed brother with the steady fidelity which marked his discharge of every office has assisted in the government of this church. With the modest estimate of his ability which he entertained, he has shrunk from the post of leadership, and has preferred to contribute his portion to the efficiency of the session by a regular attendance upon its meetings by his wise and conservative counsels and by the credit communicated to it by the lustre of a pure and consistent piety. At one period, in 1858 and onwards, it may be remembered by some of the congregation that his zeal led him to exercise his gifts in a more public form, and that his voice was often heard in the way of speech and prayer at the devotional meetings of the church.
Although a sufferer from certain infirmities, Mr. Metcalfe’s vigor, mental and physical, was retained in an unusual degree to a late day; and it has been only within a few months that a rapid decay gave premonition of the approaching end of the venerable pilgrim. And when the end came it was in beautiful keeping with his character and life.
Suddenly and gently as a sleep comes to the infant rather than as a struggle and shock, death came to him as a peaceful transition. It was simply a change of worlds. “He was not, for God took him.”
Excerpt from Memoirs of Mississippi20
Oren Metcalfe has been a resident of the state of Mississippi since the year 1833, and during the long term of years that he has resided here he has been earnest and able in his advocacy of what he thinks best calculated to promote the best interests of his country. Being a man of indomitable will power he has been the means of pushing many enterprises that have come up before him to a successful issue, and as his leading characteristics are extreme frankness, honesty of purpose and energy, his influence is widespread.
He was born in Connecticut in 1810, the youngest of twelve children born to Thomas and Sybil (Chapin) Metcalfe, the former a native of New Hampshire [actually Thomas was born in Oakham, Massachusetts] and the latter of Connecticut. The paternal grandfather came from England [actually Samuel was born in Rutland, Massachusetts] but his son Thomas afterward moved to [Enfield] Connecticut, where he met and married Miss Chapin. In this state he resided for many years, but in 1819 [or perhaps as early as 1816] he again made a change of residence, this time taking up his abode at Chardon, Ohio; but here he passed from life three years later [actually in 1827], having been one of the honorable, successful and worthy tillers of the soil of the different states in which he resided. His widow, who lived to be ninety-three years of age [actually ninety years old], passed from life in Ohio, having been an affectionate mother and a true Christian.
After leaving the common schools were he received his education, Oren Metcalfe began clerking in a store, a calling he followed for some years, but in 1830 made a trip to Natchez to visit his brother Asa B., who was a practicing physician, but soon after returned to Ohio, where he remained three years longer. He then took up his permanent abode in the state of Mississippi and for some time thereafter was engaged in merchandising.
In 1838 Miss Zuleika, a daughter of Joseph B. and Amora [Aurora] (Cox) Lyons, became his wife, and after a married life of thirty-three [actually thirty-two] years he was called upon to mourn her death, the date of her demise being May, 1871 [actually 1870]. To them a family of twelve children were born, three sons and two daughters of whom are living: Zuleika (wife of George D. Lawrence, who is a resident of Vicksburg, Miss., and is the present superintendent of the southern department of the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas railroad), Anna (wife of James S. Fleming, merchant, a resident of Natchez), Richard Inge (a clerk in a bank), James B. (a lawyer at Seattle, Wash., he being the first attorney-general of that territory and now the head of a well-known legal firm of that city known as Metcalfe, Turner & Burleigh), and William, who is a lawyer of Oregon. The members of the family that are deceased are as follows: Joseph A., Thomas W. who was killed during the war, Julius O., Charles, John Inge, Medora and Belle.
Mr. Metcalfe followed the occupation of merchant until 1850, being also engaged in planting; but in 1851 he was elected to the office of county sheriff, and as the duties of his trial term was discharged in a manner highly satisfactory to all, and very much to his credit, he was reëlected to the position at each succeeding election until he had filled the office for twelve years, at the end of which time he was appointed for one year longer by Governor Sharkey. At the end of this term he once more embarked in mercantile life, and for five years followed an active business life, during which time his efforts to accumulate some worldly goods were highly successful and reflected great credit upon his ability as a financier, his sound judgement and practical views. At the end of this time he engaged in his present business, that of general life and fire insurance, and now represents the Queen insurance company of England, the Providence of Washington, R. I., the Security of New Haven, Conn., and the Home of Georgia. In May 1850, Mr. Metcalfe was appointed trustee of Jefferson college, and four years later was elected treasurer of that institution, which office he has since continuously held, being the oldest trustee and officer. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church of this place, a position he has filled for some thirty-five years, and for his many Christian qualities, his kindness, charity and love for his fellowmen, his friends are numerous and his enemies extremely few.
It is possible that Oren and Zuleika had one other child who died in infancy—there is a tombstone in Plot 3 of the Natchez City Cemetery that reads “Harry Metcalfe, Oct. 23, 1851—Nov. 14, 1851.” Although Harry fits well into the birth order pattern, there is no other evidence which supports him as their child.

Notes on Hon. John C. McHenry:
Some of the information is from Paula Stewart. She writes:
These are some of the notes on Judge John McHenry. This file lost most of it’s sources, but most of this comes from a SF Call Newpaper article about him and from the McHenry Collection at the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley:
“‘The Hermitage.’ He and ‘Old Hickory’ became fast friends, despite disparity of age.”
“As was customary for young men of good family in the South a century ago, John McHenry lived at the home of Chief Justice Martin while studying law with him.”
“After eight years of notable service as judge of First Municipal Court of New Orleans, John McHenry resigned to come to California.”
“President Van Buren offered him the post of United States Minister to Spain - we had no ambassadors until long after that - but he preferred the law.”
“Wealthy planters and others of position offered inducements for Judge McHenry to remain in Louisiana.”
“His removal to California was in almost lordly style. As his agent, he sent ahead overland with furniture, law books, wines, supplies, of various kinds and other equipment, James Van Ness (later Mayor of San Francisco) . . . ”
Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley, has letters to and from the Judge in their McHenry collection. They list him b. 1809 d. 1880.
The Golden Gate arrived in San Francisco Harbor from Panama Jan. 9, 1852 with Judge and Ellen aboard. A “T. McHenry” departed Panama aboard the Golden Gate bound for San Francisco, May 21st of the same year. Could this be John’s brother Thomas?
Some of the information is from John Pond. He notes that John McHenry died at 1391 Taylor Street and was buried in Mountain View Cemetery.

Excerpt from the Natchez [Mississippi] Democrat, Saturday, 6 March 1982:
Much could be written of this family and its connection with the founding fathers of New England. They were direct descendants of Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony and prominent members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The real story is with George Edward Metcalfe, the eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. Asa Baldwin Metcalfe, who remained in Mississippi. Other members of his family immigrated to California in the 1850s. He was the great-grandfather of Mrs. Byrne and when history is rewritten, his name will rank with other adventurous souls as James Long and Phillip Nolan.
As a lad, George attended the famous Oakland College near Lorman where sons of rich planters were educated. His letters at this time evidenced a restless spirit stirred by an irresistible impulse to explore the rest of the world. This lust for adventure led to a strange career filled with hardships and danger, but in old age he recalled these stirring events with a zestful satisfaction.
Following the Mexican War, much feeling against the Spaniards existed and newspapers openly espoused the course of downtrodden Cuba. Our national neutrality laws necessitated much secrecy concerning any move toward (furnishing) men and arms. But General Lopez came to Natchez where he met the best people and won much sympathy. A leading lawyer became a recruiting officer and J.F.H. Claiborne was a member of a committee to take subscriptions to the Cuban fund. It was then that George Metcalfe enlisted, disguising his real identity by giving his home as “Ireland”. This quirk of fate afterwards preserved his life.
The great event was the sailing from New Orleans of Pamiero with 450 men aboard, including William H. Holmes, John Hopkins, William Little, Sergeant Napoleon Collins, Charles A. Robinson, James M. Manderville, James Stanton, J. A. Forniquet and many others, none of who returned except George Metcalfe (and Henry Metcalfe).
Following their departure, anxious loved ones alternated between hope and despair. All hope vanished when word finally came confirming the public garroting of General Narcisco Lopez. In a pathetic last speech he had explained, “That he meant well in all he had done believing that the Cubans wanted a change of government.”
Then the editor added, “Had he had 4000 men such as he brought a sample of he would have been raised to the pinnacle of fame.”
This ended the expedition in which Natchez had invested money and blood. Those who escaped death on the battlefield were thrown into loathsome Spanish prisons to be executed by a firing squad. Among the latter was George Metcalfe (and his younger brother Henry) who was only 22, although already a veteran of two wars. A letter written from his dungeon is one of Mrs. Byrne’s prized possessions and may be seen at Cherokee.
Among those who fate remained a mystery were George E. Metcalfe and his brother Henry. Their father (Asa B. Metcalfe) had been dead for some years and their widowed mother was sick with grief and anxiety. Their father’s brother, Oren Metcalfe (Grandfather of the late W. A. Adams and the late Ferriday Byrnes and other prominent club members) was willing to leave no stone unturned to learn the whereabouts of the men.
One by one, companions had been put to death, especially those who had given their true nationality. Much bitterness was felt toward America, and believing young Metcalfe and his brother were subjects of Great Britain, they were spared because of the British Consul’s intervention. Henry died soon after reaching home.
He (George) once wrote in a letter: “My first enlistment in New Orleans (was) to go the Florida Indian War, next the Mexican War, next the Cuban War in 1851 and captured and sent to Spain in irons. Liberated in Balajado in the northeastern part nears the line of France; stayed in Spain six weeks and then went to New York City.”

Notes on Julius Orrin Converse:
A history of Geauga County tells of Julius:1
. . . on the first day of May, 1834, was born the subject of this sketch. . . . He received the names of his uncle, the governor, and his mother’s younger brother, Orrin. The youngest living child of his mother, and for many years the sole offspring of her happy marriage, he was the idol of his father, and, from the day he could walk till the day when he followed that father to the grave, his almost inseparable companion.
Through infancy and childhood, he came near being a spoiled child. Such qualities, however, will safely pass through a great deal of dangerous petting. While he was yet in early childhood, his father was overtaken by a reverse of fortune, from which, in his own person, he never recovered.
Such education as he received in the forms of school came to him before he was thirteen; an apt child of Sidney Converse would receive a training at home little less than a liberal education. At sixteen he entered, as an apprentice, the printing office of William W. and Eli Bruce, publishers of the Geauga Republic. Here, by the processes which translate a young, plastic, ignorant boy into the expert, intelligent printer, his years multiplied, his form shot upward mostly, the volume of his brain increased, his mind formed, and his character developed. The office of a journalist may be the very best, or the worst possible, of all the places where a man grows, develops and ripens into the fixed forms of character and conduct. . . .
After his novitiate under the Bruces, young Converse worked on the Free Democrat, under Asper. This he followed into the hands of the late J. S. Wright, esq., who changed the name to the Jeffersonian Democrat, where he remained a subordinate till 1859, when he became proprietor and editor of the same journal, and has remained such to the present. In the meantime he studied law, and was admitted in 1858.
The Converses were Whigs, of course, and became Free-soilers and Republicans by natural logic and the law of events. On the election of Mr. Lincoln, he appointed Mr. Converse postmaster at Chardon, and renewed the appointment. This is the only office he ever held. I am not aware that he ever sought office.
It would be supererogation to speek of the Republican to the people of Geauga. As compared with the weekly press of the country, it holds a place with the first. . . .
On the twenty-fourth of December, 1862, he was united in marriage with Julia P., daughter of Daniel H. and Susan P. Wright, of Portage county. . . .
Of these parents, one daughter, Mary, now about fifteen, is the only offspring, who promises to develop in person and mind the advantages of both.
Mr. Converse’s parents have passed away. His father died February 4, 1874, and his mother February 9, 1875.
Mr. Converse has erected a fine and spacious residence on the site of the old homestead, and the family promises to perpetuate the traditions of charity, kindness and love, of the earlier home.

He volunteered for service with the Confederacy with the 10th Mississippi Cavalry. He served in the War Between the States with Breckinridge’s Brigade from May 1862 to April 1863. He joined Breckinridge’s escort in April 1863 and was detailed out in September 1864.

He was again captured at the Battle of Fort Tyler on 17 April 1865 at the end of the War. He left service commissioned as a 19-year old Lieutenant.2
After the War, in 1870, James was a clerk in a bank in Natchez. By 1873 he moved to San Francisco, California, where he initially worked in a bank. He then studied law while clerking for the Bard and Pratt law firm. After passing the California bar and being admitted to practice before the California Supreme Court, he became a partner in that firm in 1877.

Margaret (Metcalfe) Hassin wrote the author on 12 October 2002:
The following is a re-type of a biography of General James Bard Metcalfe written by his younger son, James Vernon Metcalfe in 1967.
I have redone this because the copy is so hard to read. I have written it exactly as Vernon did to preserve its authenticity. However, it appears to be a draft as the chronology is wrong. I believe that Vernon was just recalling stories about his father and would have later gone back and organized them.
Also, I have typed it verbatim, so there are some errors in spelling and punctuation.

(James Vernon’s older brother, Thomas Oren Metcalfe, was my grandfather.)
This is the included biography:
Gen. James B. Metcalfe
In the early days of the State of Washington a gentlemen attained a prominent role as an attorney, politician, candidate, orator, historian, civic leader and benefactor. His outstanding accomplishment for the public was his activities as Attorney General of the Territory of Washington during the period when the Territory was making preparations for entry into the United States in 1889. His efforts and legal advice on the procedures for admission as a State were greatly appreciated at that time. He was Gen. James B. Metcalfe of Seattle.
He began his life in Natchez, Mississippi in a beautiful antebellum home which today is one of the historic mansions opened each year for inspection by the public by reason of the beauty of its architecture among homes visited during the Natchez pilgrimage.
Gen. Metcalfe was born on January 10, 1846 and at the age of fifteen years he volunteered for service in the confederate army as a member of the 10th Mississippi Cavalry. This unit was very actively engaged during the War Between the States and the young man was commissioned as a lieutenant before the close of the war and was so mustered out.
In 1873 he went West to California and after a year in banking practice he began the study of law in the offices of Bard and Pratt in San Francisco. He was soon admitted to the Supreme Court of California and was given a partnership in the Bart and Pratt law firm.
In 1876 he married Miss Louise Boarman in San Francisco. Mrs. Metcalfe’s father came to California driving a covered wagon across the mid-West deserts as a member of a wagon train. He settled in Red Bluff for years and later moved to San Francisco.
Mrs. Metcalfe was the first college graduate from the Holy Names Academy in San Francisco. Their marriage brought together two families each of which was entitled to a coat-of-arms tracible back into English history. These insignia of the Boarman-Metcalfe marriage are very similar in their composition and material memorialized.
From a San Francisco paper in 1883:
“J. B. Metcalfe, a lawyer of good repute, and a genial gentleman, leaves this city, with his family, on the morrow, on the steamer, State of California, for Seattle, W. T. where he intends to cast his lot and grow up with a growing country. The General is well and favorably known in this city and State and we bespeak for him the kindest consideration on the part of those of our readers In the Northwest, who know that we rarely praise, since mankind is very chary in furnishing praiseworthy subjects.”
After his arrival in Seattle his legal associates were Junius Rochester, C. W. Linn, Andrew F. Burleigh and Judge John S. Jurey. Mr. Joshua Green for about a year studied law (with these associates) in this office before joining the steamboat personnel and later entering banking.
In 1887 Gen. Metcalfe was appointed Attorney General of the Territory of Washington by Governor Eugene Semple and in this capacity advised in the drawing of the Enabling Act under which the Territory became the State of Washington on November 11, 1889. That is the date which the Pioneer Association of the State of Washington fixes the time before which a person must have been a resident of the area in order to qualify as a pioneer and pass on that privilege to his direct decendants.
Gen. Metcalfe was the only Attorney General appointed for the Territory of Washington and he held the office for a short time after the admission of the State to the Union.
In 1887 Gen. Metcalfe was helpful as a director in the organization of the Seattle Construction Company which built the Yesler Way Cable car line from downtown to Leschi Park on Lake Washington. Invitations for its opening were issued to occur at 11 A. M., September 29, 1888. Mr. T. T. Minor was president of the line. An editorial in the Seattle Star attributed the success of the founding of the cable line to Gen Metcalf and ex-mayor John Leary.
While still living in San Francisco he made a trip to Washington, D.C. and visited the grave of George Washington at Mt. Vernon, Md. He obtained permission from the guard to take a generous slip from the weeping willow trees surrounding the grave of Washington. The parents of these trees had been presented to the officers of the U.S. S. Saranac as an international compliment to the United States from the French Government, in 1830. Those slips were from the weeping willow trees surrounding the grave of Napoleon on the Isle of St. Helena off the coast of South Africa. Napoleon had been buried there in 1820 where he remained for 17 years before his removal to the monument of des Invalides in Paris.
Gen. Metcalfe brought the maturing slip to Seattle in 1883 and planted it at his home at Ninth and Main Streets where it grew to a very stately tree. In 1907 it was offered to the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition but it was considered too large to move. The tree was destroyed by the Jackson Street regrade but slips had been planted at the same spot behind the former Hotel Tacoma, where they flourish to this day in 1967.
One tree drapes close to the Freeway between Jackson and Main Streets. The Seattle Housing Authority has acquired the land where the trees are growing and expects to preserve them in a park, in 1968.
In politics he was not successful although he was very active in speaking in many of the cities of Washington. It was probably due to his being a Southern Democrat that the people still remembered the troubles of the War Between the States and it was only around the beginning of the century that these memories softened as campaign issues.
One odd issue did rise in 1884 when he was running for City Attorney. He had offered the use of his law office for a meeting place of Englishmen planning a celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria. The following charge against him was distributed:
“Will the Freemen of Seattle support an office seeker who is such a lover of Monarchy as to wish to celebrate the birthday of a Queen?
IRISH AMERICANS”September 3, 1888 The State Democratic party was holding its convention in Spokane Falls to name a candidate to the United States Congress as a delegate. Gen. Metcalfe was conceded to be the very enthusiastic choice of the Democrats. The following is a press report of the proceedings:
“Attorney General Metcalfe, Chairman of the delegation from King County, rose and proceeded to the space in front of the chairmen amidst the deafening cheers of the Convention . . . (Long and vociferous applause, the speaker being compelled to wait several minutes) . . . (here deafening cheers broke forth again)”
He then offered the name of Hon. C. S. Voories for the position of Delegate. The motivating reason for his surprise action may have been a telegram from his family in Seattle:
“Please father do not accept nomination for delegate to Congress”
Signed by his son just born, his 10 year old son, their grandmother and his wife.
In 1908 he ran for the office of Mayor of Seattle in a very active campaign but he was unsuccessful.
June 7, 1889 the Seattle fire occurred and a newspaper reported:
“The San Francisco building . . . Gen. J. B. Metcalfe led a party to the roof of the building anda line of hose was soon raised by means of a rope. Again the terrible insufficiency of water balked the herculian efforts of the workers. The water barely came from the nozzle of the hose and the firefighters found themselves weaponless in the face of a terrible enemy.”
As a sportsman he had the strange experience of shooting a white deer on Whidby Island in 1892. It was a two pronged buck which he took to a taxidermist and then placed it on exhibition in Hardy & Halls Gun Shop on Front Street. A white deer was considered to be a vagary of a fairy tale but this real specimen was a startling reality. It was offered as an exhibit in the Chicago Worlds Fair.
One of the most exciting cases in Washington criminal history was the trials of George M. Miller for the murders of James Manning Colman and Wilbur Patten in 1886 in Lake Washington at Kennydale near Renton. The feelings of the public were so bitter that a change of venue was granted and the case was heard in Port Townsend. The jury was out 40 hours and disagreed. A second trial was held in Seattle in 1887 and the jury stayed out two days and disagreed. The third trial was in Port Madison, Kitsap County. The jury found Miller guilty and he was sentenced to be hanged. Gen. Metcalfe as Miller’s attorney got a stay of execution in 1888 and presented the case to the State Supreme Court who decided that the verdict must have been rendered on suspicion. A nonsuit was granted and Miller released.
Another legal accomplishment gained as a Proctor and Advocate in Admiralty was the defense of a steamship company in its relationship to its shippers. The case was The Sitka Trading Company vs. the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. and was the first case to be heard in the U.S. District Court after its establishment in the Territory of Alaska in May, 1885. The trial was held in Sitka and the subject matter of the cause was an example of freight rate rules in the operation of vessels. The practice was that if a shipper would send all of his shipments of goods on the particular line than he would receive a lower rate than other shippers who used competing lines occasionally.
Today this practice is common in conference line vessels in their shipping contracts. The winning argument of the Alaska case was that unless all of the shipper’s business was placed with the defendant line, then in competition the elegant steamship could not survive competition and Alaska’ s freight delivery would suffer shipment on slow sailing vessels or on little tugs sufficient to carry the monthly mails.
At the time of the Chinese troubles on the Pacific Coast when the many immigrants from China who had been brought in as laborers to build trans American railroads, were threatened by mobs of U.S. citizens because the low wages paid the Chinese caused them to monopolize the labor market. The Chinese were willing to return to their home land but were in danger of injury as they gathered to go aboard the outbound steamer. To prevent a riot, a volunteer group of Seattle citizens was formed to protect the Chinese during the embarkation. The group bore armbands saying: COM. OF SAFETY. Gen. Metcalfe served actively with this Committee and preserved his arm band.
Farther interest by Gen. Metcalfe in Alaskan affairs was assistance that he rendered in the Alaska boundary dispute between the United States and Canada. He prepared a mass of details which the U.S. Congress placed before a Commission appointed to settle the dispute.
In 1907 he was appointed a special representative of the Alaska, Yukon Pacific Exposition and was sent East to secure participation of six Eastern States and Mississippi in the international exposition in Seattle.
In the time of eulogies for deceased friends and prominent men, he made many beautiful memorials. He was chosen to speak in Seattle upon the death of General Ulysius S. Grant in mourning for whom all business houses were closed and military parades were held in honor of the deceased. Gen. Grant’s son acknowledged “this tribute from an opponent of my father who had worn the Confederate gray uniform twenty years previously.”
He also gave the memorial address for the Knights of Pythias for their deceased members as he was the Past Chancellor and Gr. Rep. Of Queen City Lodge No. 10, Division No. 1 Uniform Rank. At that time that organization had many lodges in the cities of this state.
In 1905 Gen. Metcalfe purchased for a summer home, a waterfront area on the northern boundary of the Suquamish Indian Reservation on Squaib (Miller’s) Bay. He built a comfortable home there and became well acquainted with the Indians who passed across his land on one of their ancient trails. He was sympathetic with their economic condition as the U.S. Government had allocated homesites to various Indian families but the Indians were not permitted to sell their lands even though some of the old families were seriously in need of food. It took several years of official correspondence with the Department before they consented to permit the sale of homesteads. The first to be sold was the area now occupied by the town of Suquamish which was purchased and developed by Hon. Ole Hanson who served as Mayor of Seattle.
Quite an argument arose about the naming of the site as Mr. Hanson wanted to call it “Silverstrand” by reason of the white clam shells thickly covering the nearby beaches as relics of the many Indian potlatches held in the Ole Man House. The Indians wanted the site to be called “Suquamish” as an honor to the tribe of which Seattle had been Chief. After an active demonstration, the wishes of the Indians were finally met.
In 1920 at the request of William Rogers, Chief of the Suquamish Indians and his klootchman Queen Annie, the local residents were organized by Gen. Metcalfe to establish Chief Seattle Day at Suquamish which became a yearly memorial which the Indians and delegates and visitors from Seattle found to be very interesting. The evening before the celebration the Indians would gather in camp-fire light and practice their tribal dances which affected them deeply with nostalgia.
The next morning a special steamer from Seattle would bring the official city representatives and many visitors. After memorial services held grave side by the local Catholic priest at the Chief’s graveside, the Indians danced their tribal dances. A Jewish Seattle City Councilman officially summarized the affair in his address:
“when a Jew and a Catholic Priest join in honoring a dead Indian, the millennium has arrived.”
“So the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, which was betting that Carmack & Co. had hit on something big, realized before any other Chamber in the country that if we were to get the miners coming as well as going, we jolly well better have a Federal Government Assay office in Seattle.
“And on April 21, 1897 at 3:30 in the afternoon, the Board of Trustees of the Chamber, which was chaired by one of our prominent attorneys, General J. B. Metcalfe, . . . made the first move to get a Government Assay Office.”
Sons of the Profits, page 811 (?)
Metcalfe was Carmack’s private attorney
In 1884 the City Council established the Park Department and acquired the area of Denny Park, Mr. David T. Denny, James B. Metcalfe and R. J. Graham constituted the Park Board.
He was widely sought for by cities in Washington as an orator especially for celebrations of the Fourth of July and his speeches were printed in full by the local newspapers. His use of words was very elegant and charming to this audiences. One subject in particular was an historical account of the discovery of Puget Sound by Vancouver and his naming of the various bays and mountains. The subject matter must have been very deeply studied by him for it made a lasting impression on his audiences one of which in Port Townsend was delivered on the centennial of its discovery and naming by George Vancouver on May 7, 1792. The oration was so well remembered by the old pioneers that six years later they petitioned him earnestly in writing to have it republished:
“This interesting historical address is invaluable to the Pioneers and first settlers, now living, as a work of reference, and every family in this state should have a copy, to be read and studied by the children as an important part of our early history.”
Signed:
James G. Swan, Robert C. Hill, J. S. Kuhn, Charles Eisenbeis, F. W. HastingsAt the celebration of the Centennial in Port Townsend, Gen. Metcalfe met Mr. P. A. Woolley and they discussed the advantages of establishing a townsite which Mr. Woolley then accomplished and named the area for himself and its main plotted street for Gen. Metcalfe. Later the site was combined with an adjoining area and is now Sedro-Woolley. The street name still remains.
By World War I time Gen. Metcalfe had found semi-retired living at Suqusmish to be most pleasing and he permanently moved to his beach side home “Fernhurst” but still maintained his law office in Seattle.
On July 9th, 1924 his very active life came to an end at Suquamish. He left two sons, Thomas Oren and James Vernon. Tom was attracted by the lumber business in the South and managed several mills in Louisiana., and he left a son and three grand children now resident in Canton, Mississippi. Vernon remained in Seattle, was married, and served as an attorney, a naval officer in two World Wars, practiced foreign trade, and was a professor in law and commerce at Seattle University.
Gen. Metcalfe’s wife, Louise Boarman was active for year in church interests and served on the Seattle Library Board. A serious accident rendered her an invalid for many years during her residence at Suquamish.
As Gen. Metcalfe was such a true friend of the Indians, the Suquamish head-men considered it an honor to give him a burial plot in their cemetery in Suquamish and designated to be near the grave site of Chief Seattle.
As it was necessary because of lack of roads to move his coffin by row boat from the beach home to their cemetary at Suquamish, the eulogy of the minister was very fitting when he quoted at the home:
“Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.”By James Vernon Metcalfe (sig.)

International Genealogical Index (IGI)—Mississippi, gives his birth date as 1848 which is at variance with baptismal, family and Census records by two years.
The 1850 census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, lists him in his father’s household as 5 years old. The 1860 census lists him in his father’s household as 14 years old. The 1870 Federal Census of Natchez lists him in his father’s household as 24 years old.
2 His War record appears in the application for membership of Zuleika Metcalfe Lawrence in the United Daughters of the Confederacy. There she quotes her sources as “Records of Camp No. 20, United Confederate Veterans, Natchez and Adams County.” Her statements were expanded and confirmed in an affidavit signed by Roane Fleming, Zuleika’s first cousin, who also comments that his army records were kept under the name James O. Metcalfe. (Research also uncovered a James B. Medcalf who served in the 11th (Perrin’s) Mississippi Cavalry.)

Notes on Mary Louise Boarman:
1840 Census entry from Baltimore, Maryland, which may apply to Mary Louise’ paternal grandfather:1
W[illia]m Boarman. 1 Male under 5. 1 Male 5 and under 10. 1 Male 15 and under 20. 1 Male 20 and under 30. 1 Male 30 and under 40. 1 Female 5 and under 10. 1 Female 20 and under 30. 1 Female 50 and under 60.
The male 15 to 19 may be Thomas, Mary Louise’ father, probably age 15 or 16. The male 30 to 39 may be William, Thomas’ father, probably in his late 30s. Thomas’ mother may have died since no female of the right age is listed. Note that Thomas’ probable brother in the 1850 census below is named William, indicating that their father might be named William.
1850 Census entry from Charles County, Maryland, which may apply to Mary Louise’ father Thomas:2
Thomas J. Boarman. Age 25. Male. Farmer. Value of real estate owned $4,000. Born Maryland.
W[illia]m Boarman. Age 21. Male. Farmer. Born Maryland.
Rose A. Boarman. Age 33. Female. Born Maryland.
Jane Boarman. Age. 28. Female. Born Maryland.
May Boarman. Age. 17. Female. Born Maryland.
If the other people in Thomas’ household were his brothers and sisters, their birth order was Rose b. 1816/7; Jane b. 1821/2; Thomas b. 1824/5; William b. 1828/9; and May b. 1832/3, with Thomas (as oldest male) acting as head of household.
Note that in 1850, Thomas J. is listed and in 1860 below Thomas M. is listed. If these are the same person, it may be that Thomas was named something like “Thomas James Michael Boarman” and, combined with the 1860 census where Thomas was listed as age 36 (b. 1823/4), his indicated birth year would be 1824.
It would seem that Thomas left Baltimore with his siblings before 1850 (perhaps on the death of their father) and became a farmer in Charles County, Maryland.
1860 Census entry from Red Bluff, California:3
T. M. Boarman. Age 36 years. Male. Occupation [unreadable]. Personal property $2,000. Real property $30,000. Born Maryland.
Mary Boarman. Age 32 years. Female. Born Ireland.
L[ouise] Boarman. Age 5 years. Female. Born California.
Marg[aret] Boarman. Age 2 years. Female. Born California.
Tho[ma]s Boarman. Age 3/12 year. Male. Born California.
Augusta Pinkham. Age 26. Female. Servant. Born Maine.
1870 Census entry from Red Bluff, California:4
Boarman, Mary. Age 45 years. Female. White. Keeping House. Real property $3,650. Personal property $75,000. Born Ireland. Father of foreign birth. Mother of foreign birth.
Boarman, Ma[r]y L. Age 15 years. Female. White. At Home. Born California. Mother of foreign birth. Attended school within the year.
Boarman, Marg[ar]et. Age 12 years. Female. White. At Home. Born in California. Mother of foreign birth.
Boarman, Tho[ma]s M. Age 8 years. Male. White. At Home. Born in California. Mother of foreign birth. Attended school within the year. Cannot read. Cannot write.
Adams, Anne. Age 32[?]. Female. White. At Home. Born Mississippi.
It appears that Thomas was not in Red Bluff at the time of the census, perhaps away on business.
From Margaret (Metcalfe) Hassin on 14 September 2003:
Howard--
You had asked me earlier about any info on the Boarmans. I found an old picture of a small cemetery. It has a tall monument in the middle and a couple of smaller ones. Written on the back is the following:
Red Bluff Sept. 13 - 51
Grandpa and grandma Boarman’s grave.
Plot covers two lots, - fenced area and big trees on right. in all 12 graves.
All in excellent state of preservation
Purchase Apr. 27, 1863. [This date has a pencil line through it and Dec. 31, 1862 is written above it.]
4 persons buried
(Two minor children
See little marble lamb)There is a small monument with a lamb lying on top, but I can’t see the other markers. I can see 2 concrete urns (one in right corner and one in left corner) and the little cemetery is surrounded by a wrought iron fence. There are 2 big trees beside it. There are words on the big monument, but I can’t read them. This is an OLD picture and small--about 3-1/2' x 6'.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could find this cemetery!
I will try to scan and email to you.

Howard--
I was looking through my “stuff”--found an email from the Genealogica Research team of the Tehama County Gen. & Historical Society. They say:
“One of our pioneer chroniclers indicates Thomas Michael born in Baltimore, MS in 1824 came to Red Bluff (from where is unknown) in 1859. He appears in the 1860 & 1870 census, a resident of Red Bluff . He died in Red Bluff April 13, 1891. It is said three of his five children survived him, Mary Louise, Margaret and Thomas Mills. The children are listed as:
Mary Louise BOARMAN, born 1855
Margaret BOARMAN, born California 1859
Thomas M. BOARMAN, born July 19, 1860, died Red Bluff Nov. 16, 1861
Thomas Mills BOARMAN, born Red Bluff Sept 24, 1862
Gertrude BOARMAN, born Jan. 11, 1866, died May 13, 1866This is the extend of our records for the BOARMAN family in Tehama County. We deduce that Mary Louise was not born in Tehama as her birthdate indicates she was 4 yrs. old when her family came to this area.”

Notes on William Lyons Metcalfe:
William (called Will) was born on 30 September 1849 in Natchez1 and baptized there on 30 May 1851.2 He adopted the use of the middle initial L (which does not appear in his baptismal record), and it is highly likely that it stood for Lyons, after his mother’s family.
Not much is known about Will’s life. He trained for the law and ultimately qualified. It was noted that on 16 November 1872, while an Assistant in the Chancery [Court] Clerk’s Office in Natchez, he petitioned the Southern Claims Commission for $300 in recompense for one light gray horse taken from him on 15 August 1863 when he was thirteen years old.3 George S. Whitcomb, Frank Howe, Orin Metcalfe and Charles Smith (“colored”), all residents of Natchez, were “witnesses to prove the taking, use, and value of the property.” Will based his claim on the following incident:
[The horse] was taken from your petitioner on or about the 15th day of August AD 1863, by Major Warden of the 4th Illinois Cavalry Vols. and his Command and turned over to S. S. Whitney, Captain and A. Q. M. [Assistant Quartermaster] of the Post & District of Natchez, Miss. for the use of a portion of the Army Stationed at said post and District as he fully believes. That Brig. Gen. Ransom4 Commanded said post at that time.
Your petitioner would State that said property was previously taken by the Troops of said post at Natchez, and on application to General Ransom, Commanding, the property was returned to your petitioner, but was again taken as above stated;—No receipt or voucher was ever given for said property.
Will deposed that he had never voluntarily served in the Confederate Army or Navy, and that he never voluntarily provided supplies to the Confederate Army or Navy—a standard declaration appended to virtually all petitions at the time. He was fifteen years old when the War ended.
His claim was disallowed, and we don’t even know the horse’s name!
Will married Mary (Mamie) H. Roche of Washington, D.C., on 1 March 1881 in San Francisco.5 Mamie was living there with her father and stepmother at the time. Will probably had gone there to practice law.

“Hi Howard! Sorry to be so long out of touch, but you might find this interesting from the San Francisco Morning Call, August 17, 1880 (emphasis added):
The Pond-McHenry Nuptials. The wedding of Mr. Charles F. Pond, of the United States Navy, and Miss Emma McHenry, daughter of the Hon. John McHenry, of this city, was celebrated on Tuesday evening last at the residence of the bride’s parents, No. 34 Glen Park Avenue. The services were conducted according to the ritual of the Episcopal Church by the Rev. Wm. H. Platt, of Grace Cathedral. As was generally understood, the wedding was very private with the relatives, and only a few of the intimate friends of the family were present. The bride was attended by Miss Syria Brown, daughter of the late J. Ross Brown, of Oakland, as first bridesmaid, Miss Bessie McHenry and Miss Mary McHenry, and Miss Emily Hay. The groom was waited upon by his brother officer, Lieutenant Charles Putnam, first groomsman, assisted by Mr. Wm. L. Metcalfe, Mr John McHenry, Jr., and Master Willie Hay.
According to the regulations of the army and navy, the groom and his first groomsman wore the social-intercourse uniform, which made a pleasing contrast with the plainer dress of the other groomsmen. Lieutenant Pond is at present connected with the United States Coast Survey steamer Hassler, which ship he will join after his leave expires, some time in September next.
The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and costly presents. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Platt and Miss Platt, Mr. and Mrs J.B. Metcalfe and Miss Boarman, Miss Wallace, Messrs. Ryland and Richard Wallace, Judge S.S. Wright, Mr. Kirk Wright, Miss Nannie Wright, Miss Lizzie Wright, Judge James McM. Shafter and Miss Julia Shafter, Major Roche, U.S.A., Mrs. and Miss Roche, Dr. and Mrs. Farwell, Lieutenant Coffin, Mrs. Simenton and Chief Engineer Aston, U.S.N., Mr. and Mrs. Dottie Sargent, Mrs. Spencer Brown, Miss Poole, Mr. Maurice Dore and Misses Dore, Mr. F.B. Boarman, Mr. E.B. Lamare, Mr. H.I. Coon, Mr. Charles Jackson, Dr. Ledyard, Mr. William Cary Jones, Mr. Hubert Vischer, Mr. Charles Hay and Mr. Lindhart. Mr. Pond and his fair bride are at present at Santa Cruz, and after visitng Monterey will return to this city and be at home to their friends on Fridays after the 19th instant, at the residence of their parents, No. 34 Glen Park Avenue.
Looks like your g-grandparents might have gotten ideas at my g-grandparent’s wedding! Also, note that Elizabeth McHenry and her future husband Emanuel Lamare were also there. Love must have been in the air! Hope all is well with you. Cheers! John Pond.”
Will and Mamie had two children. While Will was a Protestant son of the Confederacy, Mamie was a Catholic daughter of a Union officer. It apparently wasn’t a completely successful marriage, ending in the last half of the 1880s, and Will was subsequently noted as a lawyer in Oregon in 1891.6
A marriage was recorded7 in Multnomah County, Oregon (Portland) of a William L. Metcalf and Lena L. Howard, both of Multnomah County, in 1 January 1894 in the study of Trinity Church. The minister was G. W. Gist, Pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in Portland, Oregon, and the witnesses were Bronetta Kenyon and Mary E. Squires.
A census record8 places a William L. Metcalfe in San Francisco in 1900. This William was born in Mississippi and in 1900 was single and a roomer in the household of John Broadwood at 1945 Howard Street. His listed occupation was that of a solicitor (one meaning of which is a lawyer who prepares legal papers and practices in the lower courts, which is consistent with Will’s training). However, Thie William’s age is listed as 35, born in 1865, father born Mississippi, mother born Louisiana. It is uncertain whether the birth date and parents’ birth places are erroneous and this is Will, or the birth date is correct and parents’ places erroneous and this is another William L. Metcalfe born in Mississippi some 15 or 16 years later (no record of such a birth has yet been found).
In any case, no further marriage record nor death record has yet been found for Will on the west coast.

Notes on Zuleika Rosalie Metcalfe:
Zuleika (“Zulie”) Rosalie Metcalfe, was born 15 March 1855 in Natchez and baptized there on 20 April 1856.1
She married George Dilse Lawrence on 2 June 1885 in Natchez. He was born on 5 May 1841 in Fredericksburg, Virginia [sic, the censuses consistently state he was born in Mississippi, no doubt in Vicksburg]. He served in the Confederate Army where he rose to the rank of Major. He had married first _____ Conway and had three children: son Conway and two daughters [sic, the census states two sons and one daughter]. By 1891 George had become superintendant of the Southern Department of the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas Railroad in Rome, Georgia, where he and Zulie resided for about ten years. When Zulie’s father Oren died in November 1895 George moved back to Natchez to take over Oren’s insurance business, and they lived in Zulie’s former home Ravenna. Also living in Ravenna were Zulie’s sister Anna with her husband and two children. George died a year after moving back to Natchez, on 29 December 1896 in Natchez, and Ravenna passed to Zulie’s brother Richard Inge Metcalfe. Zulie survived George by forty years.2

The Pond-McHenry Nuptials.
The wedding of Mr. Charles F. Pond, of the United States Navy, and Miss Emma McHenry, daughter of the Hon. John McHenry, of this city, was celebrated on Tuesday evening last at the residence of the bride’s parents, No. 34 Glen Park Avenue. The services were conducted according to the ritual of the Episcopal Church by the Rev. Wm. H. Platt, of Grace Cathedral. As was generally understood, the wedding was very private with the relatives, and only a few of the intimate friends of the family were present. The bride was attended by Miss Syria Brown, daughter of the late J. Ross Brown, of Oakland, as first bridesmaid, Miss Bessie McHenry and Miss Mary McHenry, and Miss Emily Hay. The groom was waited upon by his brother officer, Lieutenant Charles Putnam, first groomsman, assisted by Mr. Wm. L. Metcalfe, Mr John McHenry, Jr., and Master Willie Hay.
According to the regulations of the army and navy, the groom and his first groomsman wore the social-intercourse uniform, which made a pleasing contrast with the plainer dress of the other groomsmen. Lieutenant Pond is at present connected with the United States Coast Survey steamer Hassler, which ship he will join after his leave expires, some time in September next.
The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and costly presents. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Platt and Miss Platt, Mr. and Mrs J.B. Metcalfe and Miss Boarman, Miss Wallace, Messrs. Ryland and Richard Wallace, Judge S.S. Wright, Mr. Kirk Wright, Miss Nannie Wright, Miss Lizzie Wright, Judge James McM. Shafter and Miss Julia Shafter, Major Roche, U.S.A., Mrs. and Miss Roche, Dr. and Mrs. Farwell, Lieutenant Coffin, Mrs. Simenton and Chief Engineer Aston, U.S.N., Mr. and Mrs. Dottie Sargent, Mrs. Spencer Brown, Miss Poole, Mr. Maurice Dore and Misses Dore, Mr. F.B. Boarman, Mr. E.B. Lamare, Mr. H.I. Coon, Mr. Charles Jackson, Dr. Ledyard, Mr. William Cary Jones, Mr. Hubert Vischer, Mr. Charles Hay and Mr. Lindhart. Mr. Pond and his fair bride are at present at Santa Cruz, and after visitng Monterey will return to this city and be at home to their friends on Fridays after the 19th instant, at the residence of their parents, No. 34 Glen Park Avenue.

did i tell you what i found out about my gm? i have deleted some of my old emails, so if i have, just ignore me.
gm was born Faney B. Smith in 1890. She appears on a 1900 census as that. Mother had a document from Dept of Commerce stating that. It is dated 1/20/1955--her husband died in oct of that year, so i am betting she had to prove who she was maybe for insurance purposes. sometime after she left home,she decided to change her name to helen francis or francis helen, depending on which document you look at. i am hoping if i ever get her marriage cert it has her real name on it. i am pretty sure she did not change it legally.
i have had 2 people look up in the new orleans and some texas lists and found no marr cert for them.
do you have any suggestions?

Notes on Bernice Roche Metcalfe:
Bernice (sometimes spelled Berenice) was born Hibernia Trabue Metcalfe at Ravenna manor house in Natchez at 7 pm on 19 February 1882.1 She was baptized at Trinity (Episcopal) Church in Natchez on Easter evening, 8 April 1882, by Reverend Alexander Marks and sponsored by Dr. John C. Inge (first cousin of William’s mother, family doctor and father of Ellen Hibernia Inge next), Ellen Hibernia (Inge) Trabue (Bernice’s namesake and William’s second cousin who married Robert H. Trabue) and Mary R. Shields. Within eight months Bernice apparently was living in Washington, D.C.2 By September 1885 she and her mother were in New York City where her brother Jack was born.
After her parents divorced, Bernice spent her childhood in Los Angeles, California, with her step grandmother, Eliza Lee Mitchell, second wife of Bernice’s maternal grandfather, James Richard Roche. Eliza lived at 231 West 31st Street (now commercial buildings) in Los Angeles in January 1896 after James’ death, and Bernice lived there with her.
Bernice was well-trained as a pianist, studying under the renowned Teresa Carañeo. Eliza Lee made sure that concert pianists visiting Los Angeles also came to her home to give additional instruction to Bernice. In 1900, Bernice left home and toured Europe giving concerts. It was on tour in Germany that she met Richard Maria Wilhelm Oberwinder, a German journalist. Their first encounter was at a hospice in Bonn on 6 August 1902.3
Bernice and Richard were married in Dresden on 8 October 1903 and had four children, all born in Germany.
On 19 February 1914, Bernice left Richard and returned to the U.S. with the three older children,4 arriving that month in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Bremen, Germany, aboard the Brandenburg. They continued aboard the Brandenburg to Galveston, Texas, arriving 15 March 1914,5 where Bernice joined her mother, Mamie Roche, and her stepfather, Lemuel J. Barber. This was the first time Bernice had seen her mother since childhood, and the children loved their grandmother, described as a joyful and fun person (and rather short, blond and heavyset). Being citizens of the U.S. by derivation, the children all took their mother’s surname, Metcalfe, and the various given names given for them.
Bernice and the children were then brought to Los Angeles by William M. Roche, their great-uncle, to live for six months with Eliza Lee Mitchell, their step-great-grandmother, at 2727 Halldale Street, now a neighborhood park.
In September 1914 they moved back to the Texas ranch of Bernice’s mother and stepfather, about five miles outside of Raymondsville, near the school which the children attended.
In 1916, Bernice’s brother Jack Barber (John Rousseau Metcalfe) and his wife May visited Bernice and the children in Texas and took the children north to school and college in Notre Dame, Indiana, for which Jack paid. Bernice moved to Chicago later. Son Andrew joined them in July 1922, having been brought over from Germany by a family friend, Herr Manning.
In 1919 Bernice divorced Richard, in spite of being a devout Catholic. Richard didn’t know about the divorce until he emigrated to the U.S. in December 1922. They never reunited and rarely saw each other again, although Richard regularly saw the children and grandchildren.
Bernice was enumerated in the 1920 federal census of Washington, D.C., as a teacher at Holy Cross Academy as follows:6
Berenice Oberwinder, employee, female, white, 37, single, reads, write, born Mississippi, father born U.S., mother born Washington, D.C., speaks English, teacher, academy, works for wages.
About 1940, Bernice joined her son John and his family in Washington, D.C. In 1950, in ill health, she moved to Los Angeles where her daughter Elizabeth oversaw her care. She died on 27 January 1952 and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles.7
Richard died the next year in Chicago and was buried in Beverly Cemetery in Blue Island, Illinois, on the South Side of Chicago.

Notes on Richard Maria Wilhelm Oberwinder:
Richard became a journalist and diplomat:1
. . . Richard Oberwinder, besides being a newspaperman, also served in the diplomatic corps of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Drafted into the German Army in 1917, he was disabled the next year and was eventually sent to Berne, Switzerland, where he was assigned to special research in the national library. But, brought up on his father’s “Weltkrise,” he sent his wife and children to the United States in February, 1914—five months before World War I burst on an astonished world. Yet this far-sighted decision was not too strange, since his wife was American, born Bernice Metcalfe in Natchez, Mississippi . . . who . . . had not renounced her American citizenship on marrying a German.
. . . When Germany was crushed in November 1918, Richard Oberwinder was still in Switzerland, where he saw much of an old friend, Matthias Erzberger. Negotiations were then under way for Erzberger to return to Berlin as Chancellor of the Reich. Richard Oberwinder tried earnestly to disuade his friend from going back, for he foresaw only a violent death awaiting the Socialist Erzberger.
“Germany needs me,” Erzberger replied, “I must go back, and so are you going back. You will be my ambassador to France.”
Richard Oberwinder would not go back to Germany. Matthias Erzberger went back, and was shot on the streets of Berlin on January 26, 1921.
Richard married Bernice Roche Metcalfe in Dresden while she was on tour. In 1919, after her return to the U.S. (in February 1914), Bernice divorced Richard. Richard didn’t know about the divorce until he emigrated to the U.S. in 1922.2 They were never reunited.
Richard was enumerated in the 1930 federal census of Washington, D.C., as follows:3
Richard Oberwinder, boarder, male, white, 55, single, reads and writes, born Vienna - Austria, father born Germany, mother born Vienna - Austria, spoke German in home before immigration, immigrated 1923, alien, speaks English, lecturer and teacher at Catholic University, at work.

Mae is listed in the Social Security Death Index as born 3 May 1876, her social security number 545-70-6486 was issued in 1963 in California and she died in July 1968.
This matches her age in the 1880 census (age 4 -- she seems to have lied about her age almost everywhere else) and the passenger lists. It’s possible she died in California since the card was issued there about five years before she died. However, she was not found in the California Death Index, 1940-1997, and she was reportedly buried in Washington, D.C.

Notes on John Charles Metcalfe:
John’s birth name was Helmut Maria Siegfried Oberwinder (he spelled Helmut with a double-l). It was changed to John Charles Metcalfe after his emigration to the United States in 1914. Subsequently he was nicknamed “Jacie” (for his initials, J. C.). It is believed that he took his American given names from a maternal great-uncle, John Charles Roche. His early journeys from Germany to various places in the U.S. are noted under his mother.1
Jacie and his brother James took their first communion and confirmation on 14 May 1916 at the University of Notre Dame.2
Jacie majored in Journalism at the University of Notre Dame Preparatory School from 1917 to 1922 and took additional courses in journalism at Englewood Night School in Chicago from 1923 to 1925. He became a reporter for the Associated Press in Chicago in 1925. He moved to report for the San Antonio Light in 1926. He returned to Chicago to become News Editor of the Southtown Economist in 1927–1932.
Jacie married Violet (Vi) Emma Maria Hurtig on 2 January 1933 in Chicago. His son, the author, was born on 23 November of that year.
At the bottom of the Great Depression, 1933–36, Jacie held a variety of jobs in Chicago. He was Public Relations Director of the Chicago Real Estate Board and Special Assistant to the National Association of Real Estate Boards. He was Assistant Editor of the magazine, Real Estate. And he was Public Relations Director of the Merchandise Mart.
In 1936–38 Jacie was a reporter for the Chicago Times. It was here that he got his “big story.” Prior to working for the Times, in 1933–35, he had assisted the FBI as a private citizen in investigations of German propaganda activities in the U.S., working with his brother Jim, the FBI agent, and reporting to Melvin Purvis. He was told by Agent Purvis, “We shall always deny having any connection with you!” Very comforting. Early in 1935 he was invited by Hitler, through the German Consul in Chicago, to come as Hitler’s guest to the Parteitag (Party Day) celebrations in Nuremburg, Germany. Agent Purvis wouldn’t permit the visit, saying “something could go wrong” and that it was too easy to arrange an “accident” if the Nazis had become suspicious of Jacie—reminding Jacie of his “deniability.”
Although a citizen of the United States by derivation (through his mother), Jacie was naturalized an American citizen (as was his brother Jim) on 19 August 19363 on the recommendation of Agent Purvis—this to avoid any claim on him by Germany.
Now, in March 1937, Jacie became an undercover reporter for the Times. He joined the Amerikadeutscher Volksbund (the German-American Bund) as an active member, Storm Trooper and personal aide to Fritz Kuhn, the Führer of the Bund, using his fluency in German and his German name to great advantage. He spent six very dangerous months inside the Bund with his brother Jim and another Times reporter, William Mueller (who, unlike Jacie and Jim, couldn’t speak a word of German). The author, as a small child, remembers attending meetings with massed Nazi and American flags and storm troopers, wearing Sam Brown belts and jackboots, singing the Horst Wessel Lied (the Horst Wessel song—the Nazi Party anthem).
Jacie again was invited to Germany to enter a special propaganda school, there to be trained as a Nazi spy and saboteur in operations in the U.S. This invitation was also turned down, for the same reasons, although in both instances Jacie wanted to go. His brother, Andrew, told the author’s sister that Jacie always had a slightly mad bent for danger.
Finally, in September 1937, the Times went public with the story, which was front page material for weeks. Jacie then served for a year (1938) as Special Agent to Congress and was appointed Agent-in-Charge of Nazi-Fascist Investigations for the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the first agent appointed by that committee. He was subsequently retained by the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice in 1940–42.
In this period, Jacie received many threats, one recalled by the author as a young child—a threat on Jacie’s life wrapped around a block of wood and thrown through a closed window of a hall in which Jacie was lecturing on his experiences. Shortly thereafter, he was ambushed in his car by automatic weapons, but was able to escape without injury by fast driving—although the car was riddled.
Also in this period (1938–42), Jacie was a technical advisor to Columbia Pictures, Warner Brothers and Republic Pictures. Warner Brothers in particular was accused by congressmen of “war mongering” in June 1941. In testimony before a House Committee defending the movie “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” Harry M. Warner, President of Warner Bros. Pictures, said “our script writers referred [particularly to] articles in the Chicago Daily News [sic] by John C. Metcalfe. Mr. Metcalfe was not writing hearsay. As a reporter for the Chicago Daily News [sic], Mr. Metcalfe joined the German-American Bund, in order that he might have first hand knowledge of the Bund’s operation.”4
In June 1939, Jacie and his family moved to Bethesda, Maryland, and in June 1941 to Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1943–45 he was Washington Diplomatic Correspondent for Time Magazine. In 1945–1947 he had the same title at the New York Herald Tribune and also was a War Correspondent. He reported from most Northern European countries and some in Latin America. In 1949–55 he contributed to the Worldwide Press Service as a Foreign Affairs Correspondent.
In 1948 Jacie started a lecture bureau, National Lecture Management, Inc., in Washington D.C., representing the Vice President of the U.S., Alben W. Barkley, and many Senators, Representatives, journalists and authors. He also represented some entertainers such as Hal Holbrook and Tarbell, the magician, as well as the adventurer, Thor Heyerdahl.
In 1960 Jacie closed the bureau (the impact of television being a significant factor) but continued lecturing on foreign affairs. In 1966 he was appointed Expert Consultant to the State Department’s Agency for International Development.
Jacie and Vi moved to St. Augustine, Florida, and then to 2609 Cincinnati Avenue in San Antonio, Texas, where he died of bladder cancer on Tuesday, 29 June 1971.5 Vi then moved to Los Angeles to be near their son, the author, where she died of circulatory failure on 1 May 1987.
In 1936 Jacie originated the Sun-Times syndicated column of poetry, “Portraits,” which his brother Jim continued in the 1940s and 1950s. After Jim’s death, Jacie continued the column for another few years for the Publishers-Hall Syndicate.
He was an active member of the National Press Club from 1943; the White House Correspondents Association and the State Department Correspondents Association from 1944; the Overseas Writers Club from 1945; and the Rotary Club from 1940. His awards included, among others, the National Headliners Club Medal of Honor for 1937 for Best Story of the Year (the Bund story, shared with his brother Jim and with William Mueller); the Chilean Legion of Merit decoration in 1945 for his United Nations coverage; and the St. Olav Medal of Norway in 1946 for coverage of the allied cause in World War II. In connection with the latter two awards he was made an honorary citizen of Chile and of Norway.
Jacie’s papers relating to his Bund investigation were deposited in the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and are open to researchers. They are described at:
http://texts.cdlib.org/view?docId=tf6w10052p&doc.view=entire_text
The abstract on that site reads: “Diary, correspondence, reports, notes, pamphlets, clippings, and printed matter, relating to the infiltration of the German-American Bund by J. C. Metcalfe as an investigative reporter in 1937, and to the activities of fascist organizations in the U.S.”
Jacie and Vi had two children.

Notes on Violet Emma Maria Hurtig:
Violet (Vi), older daughter of Carl Axel Hurtig, was born at home (850 Erickson Avenue in Roseland on the south side of Chicago) at 3 p.m. on 8 July 1907, attended by a midwife. She was baptized Lutheran in Chicago on 20 October 1907.1
Vi attended Englewood Business School for two years (1921–2) and was a member of the Psi Delta Rita Sorority in 1923. She married first her apparent high school sweetheart, Samuel Ångstrom, a private detective, on 6 December 1924 at the Lutheran Evangelical Mission Church in Chicago when she was seventeen years old.2 He had taken her to her first party a year earlier, on 20 October 1923, where they played “forfeits” and “post office,” danced and had what was described as a “wild time” ending at 3:30 a.m. However, the marriage lasted only for a short time. She worked as a secretary and assistant credit manager for the Telephone Maintenance Co. in Chicago from 1923 to 1928 and as a private secretary at Sears, Roebuck and Co. from 1931 to 1933.
Vi married second John Charles (“Jacie”) Metcalfe in Chicago on 2 January 1933. When Jacie had his lecture bureau, Vi worked with him for many years as general manager. She enjoyed attending embassy receptions and hosting parties for diplomats and journalists with Jacie.
She suffered a stroke in 1961, paralyzing her right arm and leg. She was mostly wheelchair-bound thereafter.3 After Jacie died in 1971 she moved to Los Angeles to be near her son, the author, and his wife, Iris, living in her home at 1134 North Hudson Avenue in Hollywood. She died at 6:20 a.m. on 1 May 1987 in Los Angeles, California, of general circulatory failure in her eightieth year.4 According to her wishes, Vi was buried on 6 May 1987 in lot 97, section 1, grave 3 east, in Beverly Cemetery near her sister (grave 2 east) and parents (lot 116).5
Vi and Jacie had two children.

Notes on James Joseph Metcalfe:
Jim’s known birth name was James Joseph Oberwinder. It was changed to James Metcalfe after his emigration to the United States in February 1914, and he took the middle name of “Juan.” His full German birth name may have been James Maria Johannes Joseph Oberwinder.
Jim and his brother Helmut (John) took their first communion and confirmation together on 14 May 1916 at the University of Notre Dame.1
Sometime after attending Notre Dame, Jim became a FBI agent, working directly for Melvin Purvis, the famed FBI man who directed the war against gangsterism in the Middle West. Jim was the first agent assigned to “get” John Dillinger, the notorious outlaw and killer. He was also one of the agents who participated in the ambush of Dillinger the night in 1934 when he was “fingered” by Anna Sage, the well-publicized “Lady in Red,” coming out of the Biograph, a small North Side Chicago movie theatre. In addition, he was the agent who located “Baby Face” Nelson and other gangsters of the Capone era, and he served on the Lindbergh kidnapping case.2
In 1937, after leaving the FBI, JIm spent six exciting but dangerous months as an undercover reporter for the Chicago Daily Times, joining the subversive Deutscher Volksbund as a Storm Trooper. He was joined by his brother John and another Times reporter, William Mueller (who, unlike Jim and John, couldn’t speak a word of German). Jim was awarded the National Headliners Club Medal of Honor in 1937 for Best Story of the Year (the Bund story, shared with his brother John and William Mueller). The following excerpt summarizes their adventure:3
NAZI ARMY IN U.S.
Secrets Told by TIMES Men Who Joined It
By William MuellerThe regimental tread of marching men under the flaming red swastika resounds from coast to coast in the United States today.
In uniforms strangely suggestive of those worn by Adolf Hitler’s nazi storm troops, a relatively small but rapidly growing army is preparing for the American counterpart of “Der Tag,” when it plans to seize control of the United States. “We are not plotting a revolution,” leaders tell their followers. “But we are going to be prepared to wrest control from the communist-Jews when they start their revolution. We will save America for white-Americans.”
The growing menace of an organization which outwardly professes to be 100 per cent American but which scorns democracy prompted the TIMES to undertake the first exhaustive investigation of American nazis.
Three reporters worked for months, both from within and outside the Amerikadeutscher Volksbund—German-American Bund—and its companion organization, the Deutscher Volksbund. They traveled from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico to learn international secrets which the TIMES now presents exclusively to its readers. Months before Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings on Aug. 18 ordered G-men to make a “cursory” investigation of the Bund, two TIMES staff men—one a former G-man—were members of American nazi organizations. A third reporter, maintaining liaison with them, watched the Bund’s varied activities from the outside.
The three whose combined reports form this astounding series are James J. Metcalfe, former G-man, John C. Metcalfe and William A. Mueller.
Under the name of Oberwinder, the Metcalfe brothers months ago built themselves up as nazi sympathizers and were accepted as members of the organizations. John Metcalfe established himself in the predominantly German Yorkville section of New York City and later acted as a propagandist for the Amerikadeutscher Bund on a cross-country tour.
A month after John Metcalfe became a storm trooper in New York, his brother, James, was accepted as a member of the alien army operated by the Deutscher Volksbund in Chicago.
‘Get the Facts’
Ground work for the investigation was laid a year ago. It reached the definite build-up stage in February of this year when John Metcalfe and Mueller were sent to New York to “get the facts.”
The Metcalfe brothers were born in Germany and speak the language. Mueller was of German extraction. All are Americans. James Metcalfe was the first Federal Bureau of Investigation agent assigned to the John Dillinger hunt and was in on the Dillinger “kill.” He resigned a position with another federal investigation service to join the TIMES editorial staff.
The TIMES investigation found the German brand of fascism spreading its tentacles throughout the nation. Leaders of the movement say they will seize control of the United States, but not until “the communist revolution starts.”
The organization is an integral part of the Hitler movement in Germany. Leaders are in frequent communication with Berlin. Every method of modern propaganda is used to win converts to the cause.
Chief tenet of the German-American Bund is an intense hatred of Jews and all things Jewish. Other anti-semitic organizations are lining up with the Bund in what leaders plan will be a general fascist merger.
Jim was afterwards a journalist and a published poet (“Portraits,” a column which appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times syndicate in the 1940s and 1950s).
Jim married Lillian Hammer in early 1933. She was born in Stavanger, Norway, on 23 October 1903. She emigrated as a child to the U.S. in April 1908.4
Jim died in March 1960. Jim and Lillian had three children.

Dear Mrs. Pond,
The cremated remains of your husband, the late Robert M. Pond, Captain, U.S. Navy, Retired, were buried at sea in accordance with your request. They were brought to the ship at the direction of Commander Combat Logistics Group ONE while the ship was in port at Naval Supply Center, Oakland, California. We departed Oakland to represent the Navy in the 1989 Portland Rose Festival and to provide refueling support to ships of the Pacific Fleet engaged in training exercises. Your husband had spent many years of loyal and dedicated service to our country. It was fitting that he be buried from the deck of a proud ship so employed.
The Burial at Sea ceremonies were conducted on the ship’s replenishment station seven on 14 June 1989 at 1300. The ship slowed for the ceremony and the national flag flown at half-mast. The afternoon was cool with a cloudy sky, slight wind and seas. With these favorable conditions, both the Religious and Military ceremonies were conducted with dignity and solemnity. The Executive Officer, Commander James B. Annis, U.S. Navy, was the Military Commander of the ceremony. Chaplain, Lieutenant James S. Twamley, U.S. Naval Reserve, performed the religious portions of the ceremony and the committal. An eight man rifle squad, two flag bearers, six urn bearers and a nine man Honor Platoon were formed from the crew of USS KANSAS CITY (AOR 3).
Pictures of the ceremony were taken and are presented to you along with a navigational chart showing the location the remains were committed, and two expended shell casings from the rifle volleys fired. It was our privilege to serve you, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to write to me. I wish to extend to you warm regards and sympathy.
Sincerely,
L.M. PIVONKA
Captain, U.S. Navy
Commanding Officer
USS KANSAS CITY (AOR 3)
