I am looking for information on Eli METZ (g grandfather) and his wife, Sarah SWIHART Metz, listed in the 1850 census of Hancock County, Biglick Township. They are listed as having one child, Elizabeth (Jane), 5 months old. Later children included my grandfather Quinter James Metz born (near Defiance County, OH February 13, 1855 and reportedly came to Missouri as a lad of 16 years). I am trying to find out if Eli and Sarah Metz came to Missouri from Ohio, or if my grandfather Quinter James Metz came to Missouri on his own. Any Metz information connected with the above names would be appreciated. Thank you.
