I do descend from Chauncey Metcalf and Sarah Leggett, thence, Bela Smith Wright and Mary Jane Metcalf, thence George Wright and Effie Hulse. George and Effie being my grandparents. All Pike Co IL residents. So glad to hear from you. Have a great deal of information on my Wrights, not so much on Metcalf, very little on Leggett. Did not know Sarah Leggett, was Sarah McMasters Leggett. Have recently being trying to find David Leggett and his wife Jennie, have been searching in OH web sites.
