Members of the Metcalf Family (sometimes written Medcalf or Metcalfe) lived in the community of Pine Mountain since very early years, as well as among the student body and workers at Pine Mountain Settlement School.<\/p>\n
The family has a long history with the State of Kentucky. The origin of the family name goes back to England and refers to “mete’ and Old English term for “meat” and “cealf” for “calf.” The name first appears in the North Yorkshire dales\u00a0in the 12th or 13th century.<\/p>\n
See the Metcalf Society<\/a> for a more extensive history of the English origins of the clan. The Society established in 1980 is one of the largest genealogical study groups in England and boasts that, if you are from Yorkshire, there is a Metcalf somewhere in your history.<\/p>\n For additional assistance in locating history of the Metcalf Family in Eastern Kentucky see:<\/p>\n Rebel Rock:\u00a0The story of Harlan County, Kentucky\u2019s Civil War legend and the\u00a0KKK<\/strong><\/a> Harlan County, Kentucky Genealogy Genealogy – FamilySearch Wiki<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Fleming County, Kentucky Genealogy Genealogy – FamilySearch Wiki<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Return to:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n GUIDE TO FAMILIES IN THE PINE MOUNTAIN VALLEY COMMUNITY<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Dillard Metcalf\u00a0<\/strong>(1904-1981)\u00a0<\/span>parents were William and Elizabeth (“Lizzie”) Nolan Metcalf.<\/strong> (LIZZIE NOLAN METCALF)\u00a0<\/span>A railroad policeman, he married Allene Nolan Metcalf<\/strong> in 1924.
