Jacques Mete

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...

More on George Metty

By -
George was a person with many birth date or so it seems. On June 4, 1898 in Samuel's application for pension George is listed as being born on Aug 7th, 1881. However, unless other evidence is unearthed, we will have to accept the recording that Lisa discovered at the courthouse, 8 July of 1882, as being the correct date. Going back to the pension file, it does appear that the information was recorded by someone other than Samuel, as the writing does not match that of his signature. Speculating a little further, he could have given the information as 8-7-1881 (dd-mm-yr) and the recorder wrote it out as Aug 7th, 1881. That would still leave the year as being incorrect, but the month and day would agree with the courthouse records. As for George's death, here is something I found several years ago: George Metty, a well-known-farmer of Mendon Township, Dies by his own hand George, a well-to-do and well-known farmer of Mendon Township was discovered dead in his bedroom, at his home ...
