Her METZGER family are all scattered around the greater Middletown area, some of which, of course, are in the cemeteries I have listed. C. H. HUTCHINSON's "CHRONICLES OF MIDDLETOWN" refers to the names you mentioned: Pg 253 shows LE RUE METZGER a member of UNITED AMERICAN MECHANICS Pgs 42, 43 shows JOHN METZGAR involved in building the Lutheran Church @ 1767 Other scattered references, also exist, on various METZGAR/METZGER naames. "God's Acres" by Grace DeHart references John & Mary (b. 1740, 1747), and Jacob & Mary (b. 1779, 1773), plus others. Few detailed relationships available. Next time I talk with Edith (just remembered whats-her-name!) I'll see if she has any kind of family details written down. She mentioned them before, but I sorta forgot.
