Johann Jacob Metzger marries An. Mar. Appolonia Keller, widow Jan 30 1749/50.

In the Dreisbach Church Northumberland Co, Jacob Metzger and Anna Maria Appolonia are Baptismal witnesses to one of George Buch's children. Church is now in Lewisburg, Union Co, Pa. I believe that Jacobs son Jacob married one of Geroge Buch's children Mary.

"Jacob G Metzger, one of the intelligent, liberal Minded farmers of Green Creek township, Sadusky county, enjoys the possession of competency, and he believes the statement made by Gen Washington, that agriculture is the noblest vocation of Man. He lives in ease and comfort upon his well tilled and well cared for farm of 127 acres, made profitable by his good business ability and his inherited aptitude for a farming life.
Mr Metzger was born in Adams Township, Seneca county, Nov 2 1842, son of Samuel and Rebecca (Heltzel) Metzger. The great-great-grandfather of Mr Metzger who was a Revolutionary soldier under Gen Washington( was the son of Archibald Metzger twin brother of General Theodore Metzger, an able officer in the German Army.)(this last part wrong)
