About Our METCALF Branch
I am descended from
a Richard Metcalf, my gggggg grandfather, who lived and died at Eppy Head Farm,
Holingsby,
I am tremendously indebted
to a new email friend and cousin, Pat Metcalfe-Kostelnik, who has done much of
the research that has contributed to my Metcalf family tree, and has provided
the following photographs.
Another great source of
Metcalf information has been portions of a book entitled “Metcalf Families of
Cumberland County, Nova Scotia” by T.H. Lodge (ca 1952) and a revision of his
work done by L.P. Hall in 1989. Following
is a quote from page 2: “Among the very
first to come to Nova Scotia from Yorkshire were James Metcalf and his eldest
son James, of Hawnby Parish, Yorkshire.
James (Sr.) was the ninth of ten children born to Richard Metcalf and
his wife Cicely, tenants on a farm called “Eppyhead,” in the Township of Dale
Town, Hawnby Parish, Yorkshire, England……It was James Metcalf who emigrated to
Nova Scotia in 1772, the progenitor of all the Cumberland County Metcalfs.”
