[3313] Sarah Elwyn

	b. 17 June 1593	Heigham, Co Norfolk	[NEHGR 80: 313]
	d. 30 November 1644	Dedham Mass	[NEHGR 6:171]

[NEHGR 6:171-3] MM was born 1586 in Tatterford, Co Norfolk and was a Dornix (ie, the stuff used for curtains, carpets, and hangings - from Doornick of Tournay, where it was first made) in the city of Norwich where he was made a freeman 21 June 1618. Their seven eldest children were born in St Benedict's, Norwich and the four youngest at St Edmondsbury. Left London 17 September 1636 and finally landed at Plymouth England at Christmas; sailed again, this time from Yarmouth, 15 April 1637 and arrived three days before midsummer with wife, nine children and a servant (Thomas Comberbach, aged 16). He fled from the tyranny of Bishop Wren under whose term of 2 years 6 months more than 3000 subjects, many of them involved in the wool trade fled either to Holland or New England.

MM was admitted a townsman at Dedham 14 July 1637, joined the church in 1639 and was a selectman in 1641. He married 2) Mary Pidge of Roxbury 13 August 1645. In 1661 Robert War exchanged land with MM near the brick kiln; bricks were being manufactured at an early perid here and one of the principle clay pits was on land of MM on Dedham Island. Will dated 15.9.1664 and proved 1 February 1664-5 and inventoried at 364-18-05.

[NEHGR 78:63-5] The date of 3 September 1586 as the son of Rev Leonard Metcalf is in error: Leonard was born on that date, not Michael. The only thing that can be said of Michael is the was probably born 1592 as he was 45 years old when he embarked for New England in 1637. The baptism records for their children are given.

[NEHGR 80:312-3] The write notes a deposition found in the diocesan registry at Norwich in which MM describes himself as 45 years and born in Tatterford (presumably in 1635). There is a gap in the records at Tatterford for 1590 and as there is nothing to show that there is any other Metcalf family at Tatterford at that time, and as there is a gap between Nicholas (1586) and Mathew (1592), it seems reasonable to assume that Michael is the son of Rev Leonard Metcalf.

[NEHGR 86:254-5] From the Books of the Mayors Court: in 1624 MM a search of the dornix weavers; 1627 a warden of the dornix weavers for one year; 1629, ditto; 1636 MM and others sworn. From Sessions Books and Search Books: 1631, ordered to pay 1/2d to overseers (St Pauls); 1633-4, MM listed as in St Edmunds Parish; 1635. MM and others in a courst suit agains Augustine, and others.

[6625] Amy --

d. 1602

[NEHGR 80:313]

[NEHGR 80:312] LM made a disposition in 1614 stating that as rector of Tatterford he was 73 years of age and had been incombent there for forty years, and that he ws born at Allerside in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Amy, wife of LM died in 1602, and his estate was administered in 1616 as of West Barsham, Norfolk, of which he was vicar, holding this living as well as the rectory of Tatterford. [Apperside is a hamlet in the vale of Wensleydale, North Riding, Yorkshire.]

[13249] ?

[NEHGR 86:252-6] A large number of inhabitants of Apperside were of the name Metcalf with the names Leonard and Michael very common. It may be suggested that perhaps Leonard was the son of the Michael Metcalf who is found at Apperside in the subsidy of 1542-1544.
