So the reader may ask, who was this Isaac Metty who died in the service of his country! Isaac was the third of eight children born to the union of Isaias (Eli) and Mary Anne Beauregard. He was born on 7 November 1841 and baptized the following August 1842 at St. Mary's Church in Monroe, Michigan. He enlisted in Company K of the 7th Michigan Volunteers on 29 January 1864 at Monroe, Michigan for a term of three years. The company was mustered at Detroit on the following day. At the time of enlistment, Isaac was described as being 5'6" in height, fair complexion, with blue eyes and brown hair. His occupation is given as farmer. The Seventh was reassembled at the end of January 1864 and returned to its old camp at Barry's Hill. In May the regiment started on the long campaign which finally ended in the siege of Petersburg and the surrender of the army of northern Virginia. It was part of the famous Second Corps, and crossed the Rapidan at Ely's Ford on the 4th of May....

Recently Debra Metty Beveridge wrote to me with this inquiry: Happened across some interesting information when I was looking up something on the Lewis and Clark expedition for our fifth grade curriculum. There was a Jacques Mete who was an interpreter to the Indian tribes during this trip. He's mentioned in their journals and referred to by L & C as "Mr. Metty". I looked up some of the Indian Treaties with the U.S. govt., and he's listed as an interpreter for the govt. for almost every single one! It must be the same Jacques Mete as our grandfather, don't you think? My response: I was delighted to receive your information concerning Jacques Mete. I found your comment about his being mentioned in the L & C journals and referred to as Mr. Metty very intriguing. I tried searching the journal online and was unsuccessful in finding any references to Jacques. However, this Jacques cannot be our immediate ancestor, although I do believe that he is related. I ha...

You may wish to check the sources of your listing for Jacques Metay after considering the following information from the records of the University of Montreal. "Jacques Mete Ladouceur Forcier - Birth: around 1692 St-Pierre, Le Poire-sur-la-Roche, ev. Lucon, Poitou (auj. Le Poire-sur-Vie, ar. La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendee) First marriage 1730 Boucherville, Quebec, Canada with Marie Francoise Laloquette LeBeau(Bau); second marriage 1742 Vercheres with Marie Louise Jarret Beauregard. Then in the Repertoire des actes du Quebec is listed the burial of Jacques on 11 November 1747 at the age of 55 years at Boucherville, Quebec, Canada.
Using the 55 yoa at date of death and subtracting, would give a date of birth of about 1692. Jacques parents were Jacques Mete and Jacqueline Durandet.
Where did you find the dob of 1710 for Jacques?
