Sad to say there are no more living Metrash's. My g-grand had only one son, Robert who I just recently found out did have a daughter who must have died young since she was never spoken of by the family. Adam H. was deaf as was his wife Elizabeth. Their son Robert was also deaf. Their girls wern't. They were Mary H. b 1862-Caroline b 1869 and Lucy 1882. Adam had a sister Angeline (b1833) who married John Hawley Hubbard (b 1831). Thanks to an on line friend we have gone back to an Ezekiel b 1792. What has me most curious is how they got to Norwalk in the first place. I'm thinking the whaleing industry, since they seem to be boatmen (?) or fisherman. The only other place in the world I have found that name is in Egypt (?), I also know that in the 1880 census they are listed as mulatto, which could mean African or Native American mixture. Thanks again hope to hear from you. Dorothy
