Hello Everyone, Below my signature you will find some notes from Ellen concerning the lines of Metzker/Zickafoose etc. Hope this helps someone. I am sure Ellen will not mind if you contact her personally for clarification. Her e-mail is: [email protected] I have a one and a half pg rtf report on John Craft McVey's descendents, which Ellen sent me. She doesn't mind if I share the information she sends. If you would like to have a copy, let me know. I can easily send it by attachment, off the list.

Another quinkie-dink---- for Dick Z.... We have a Benjamin Z who married a Susanna BUZZARD. They have a son Jesse Alan Z DOB Nov 20 1832 who married an Adoline McVey. Wonder if it's the child #2 only spelled differently. The ages are sure right!!! TTYL Ellen OK, I was contacted by another Metzker researcher inquiring about a Philip Metzker. I've seen the name but couldn't fit it into my line of Metzkers. All the info was tucked away in my "doesn't fit yet" file. So, last night I started going thorugh papers and found my info on Philip... as I was reading I hit the name John Craft McVey. I KNEW there was something "clicking." Continued on and came across John Craft McVey married Olive Metzker. They had a daughter Adaline who married Jesse Alan Zickafoose, son of Benjamin Zickafoose and Susannah Buzzard. BINGO! Still haven't figured out where Olive's father Philip fits into my Metzker line but I know he has to. Just to many connections in VA., for him not to. Ellen
