April 13th, 1809 Marriage of William J. Metcalfe and Jemina "Minnie" Redman

As a caveat...there are many conflicting opinions on who the parents of William Metcalfe were. I have included the information I have found to be most credible but am open to other information (or proof...for or against) that anyone can offer.

William and Jemina "Minnie" Metcalfe were my 4G Grandparents on my Mother's (Barbara Metcalf) side.

• Barbara (1939-2005), daughter of Robert George Metcalf and Henrietta Josefina Ceseña (Verdugo daughter);
• Robert (1918-1999), the son of Charles Henry Metcalf(e) [he's the one that lost the 'e' due to some legal issues] and Alma Marie Luther;
• Charles (1892-1968); the son of Charles H. Metcalfe and Olive "Ollie" A. Garrison;
• Charles H. (1865-1926), the son of George W. and Mary A. (or Martha) Metcalfe;
• And George (1810-aft 1880), the son of William J. and Jemina.

William J. Metcalfe was born January 6, 1788 (or poss. in 1790 as his parents are recorded as marrying December 25, 1788) in Shelby, Kentucky and died September 18, 1869 in Edgar, Illinois. William J. was the son of John Metcalfe (1767-1835) and Prudence Clark (1771-c. 1852). [Another account lists William J. Metcalfe as the son of John and Susan (Metcalfe) Metcalfe, who were first cousins and the grandchildren of William Metcalfe and Esther Braselton.]

Jemina "Minnie" Redman was born May 22, 1791 in Madison, Kentucky and died in July, 1866. Jemina was the daughter of George Redmon II (1757-1837) and Henrietta Noland (1759-unk.)
