Bathsheba (or Barthaba as some records have it) was William and Nancy (Nelson) Malone's daughter. She was born in Hamilton Co. abt. 1829, the first child born after the family's move from Monroe Co., KY. Bathsheba married Daniel P. Metcalf 28 Jan 1847 in Hamilton Co. I'm missing the names of four of their children, but the ones I have are Romelia Jackson Metcalf (married Lucinda J. (York) Hawthorn), Martha J. (Metcalf) Butler (moved to E. St. Louis), Edward Lee Metcalf (married Florence Ann Weldin), and James R. Metcalf (moved to Eldorado). Edward Metcalf's children were Wayne Metcalf (married Sara Guernsey), Leda Metcalf (unmarried), Irene (Metcalf) Mansell, Troy Metcalf (married Laura Mae Phipps) and Beulah (Metcalf) Frymire. Does anybody know what happened to Bathsheba after the 1870 Hamilton census in which she appears without Daniel, apparently widowed. He was young enough to have been in the Civil War, and I haven't checked yet to see if he died in the War. I have been going through the 1880 CD census to see if Bathsheba is still in Hamilton then. She might have remarried, but you know the Hamilton marriage records for that period are not in any books! I also need to check to see if she went to Eldorado with one of her children. If you know what happened to Bathsheba, or where she is buried, any help would be most appreciated. Shirley Malone Fritsche
