Previous Enslaver:
Enslaver Notes:
In 1850 there were three William Metcalfs and one W. W. Metcalf in Nelson County, Kentucky, and one William Metcalf in Fayette County. Kentucky. In 1860 there were 3 men named William Metcalf, one of whom was William W. Metcalf. Research shows that the W. W. Metcalf is the same as the 1860 William W. Metcalf. He seems the best choice in Nelson County to be the soldier’s enslaver.
