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.

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 Pauline’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:

Notes from Asa’s file:
Side note from John McHenry . . . “Dr John M., son of Dr James, cousin of Dr. Aza B.”
Letters in Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley, to and from Asa are in box 18. They list him b. 1800 d. 1850.

Notes on Barbara Allen Harris:

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.

After Asa’s death, Barbara was enumerated (as A.B. Metcalf) in the 1860 federal census of San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, in the household of her daughter Ellen’s family as follows:²

John McHenry, 50, male, lawyer, real property $20,000, personal property $2000born North Carolina.

Emma McHenry, 3, female, born California,
Wm McHenry, 1, male, born California,
A. B. Metcalf, 57, female, born Massachusetts [sic].
Mary Haley, 32, female, servant, born Ireland, cannot read or write.

Barbara was enumerated in the 1880 federal census of San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, in the household of her daughter Ellen’s family as follows:³

Barbara Allen Harris died on 26 July 1891 in Berkeley, California. Barbara’s death notice appeared in the San Francisco Daily Morning Call on July 28, 1891, page 8, column 7: “Metcalfe—In Berkeley, July 26, Barbara Allen Harris, widow of Dr. Asa B. 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 from Barbara Allen Harris file [Asa’s wife]:
The Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley, has letters to and from Barbara in their McHenry collection, see box 18. They list her as b. 1802 d. 1891.
Of Barbara, her sister (Emma) writes: “She was the very prettiest of all Captain William’s children.” . . . She married a “worthy and skillful physician, a graduate of the Medical School of Philadelphia, settled in the South, but subsequently moved to California. She is a widow [1880] and lives with her daughter, Mrs. Judge McHenry, in San Francisco.” . . . This from “Aunt Emma’s Story” in the possession of her decendant William Mullins.

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.

Notes on Oren Metcalfe:

Oren Metcalfe¹ was born on 28 January 1810 in Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut. He moved with his parents to Chardon, Ohio, about 1816 at age six or so. “After leaving the Common School where he received his education, Oren Metcalfe began clerking in a store, a calling he followed for some years, but in 1830 he made a trip to Natchez to visit his brother, Asa Baldwin Metcalfe, who was a practicing physician, but soon after returned to Ohio where he remained for three years longer. Oren then took up his permanent abode in the state of Mississippi (in 1833) and for some time thereafter was engaged in merchandising.”²

Oren married Zuleika Rosalie Lyons in Natchez on 12 April 1838, the ceremony performed by S. G. Winchester, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church.³ Zuleika was born in Washington, Mississippi, on 31 May 1822.⁴

Oren and Zuleika participated in several land transactions in Natchez.⁵

Oren and Zuleika were enumerated in the 1840 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:⁶

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:⁷

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).⁸ 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 Inge⁹ and daughters Zuleika Rosalie and Medora.

Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1860 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:¹⁰

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.¹¹

Oren and his family were enumerated in the 1870 federal census of Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, as follows:¹²

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.

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:¹³

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 85.¹⁴ He was buried there in the City cemetery.¹⁵ 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, 1895
The 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 Mississippi¹⁶

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.
