Metcalf & Sarah Ashby
1. HENRY3
METCALFE
(FRANCIS2
METCALF, METCALF1) was born 1776
in Rolvenden, Kent,
England, and died 1869 in
Hounsfield, Jefferson Co., New
York, USA.
He married
SARAH ASHBY 04 May
1804 in Battle, Sussex, England, daughter of WILLIAM
ASHBY
and
ANNE
GUY.
She was born 1785 in Battle, Sussex, England, and died 07 Aug 1862 in
Jefferson
County, New
York, USA.
Notes for HENRY METCALFE:
They came to the
US on the ship Jupiter, from
Downs, England, March 6, 1805, bound for New
York.
It sank off the coast of
Newfoundland
on April 6, 1805. They were among
the survivors who
were picked up and brought to
Marblehead, MA.
Later that year they made their way to
Sackets Harbor, Jefferson Co, NY,
where Sarah's sister, Anne, had settled in 1804 with her
husband David
Merritt.
Henry Metcalf may have been
in Boston before, but he was definitely on the
Jupiter in 1805 and
came to Sackets Harbor then. (I'm working on writing about
all the families involved, as there
were other pioneers: LUFF,
ASHBY).

David Merritt (above) and
Ann Ashby's sister and sister-in-law, Jemima Merritt (born in
Ticehurst,
Sussex,
1786) married Edmund Luff of Sussex. Jemima and David's mother died on the
"Jupiter" and their father, David Merritt died in England in
1797

After the
United States declared war
with Great
Britain in the summer of 1812, Elisha
Camp,
respected citizen, lawyer,
land agent, and industrialist, called together a band of militiamen
and
offered their services for
the defense of the village. Service in the artillery commenced on 28
June 1812 and was to run 30
days, expiring 28 July 1812.
As fate would have it, Camp
and his men were on duty the morning of 19 July 1812 when five
British ships were spotted
attempting to enter the harbor. Through the efforts of the whole
fort,
including Camp's Company,
the British were expelled from the harbor, and the First Battle
of
Sackets Harbor—first
engagement of the War in U.S.
territory— went into the history books as
a victory for
America.
The following signature is
taken directly from an original muster roll, available at the
National
Archives in Washington, D.C. [E. 55a Muster Rolls, Record Group No.
