Hi
William Metcalfe was christened at Orton 24th march 1788 the son of Jonathon Metcalfe and Elizabeth Graham who were married at Orton 16th oct 1787 .Elizabeth was chr 5th oct 1767 her parents William and Alice Graham of Orton. William was a founder of the American Vegetarian Society and was a minister of the bible Christian church .Several brothers and sisters were christened in later years at Ravenstonedale did they move there ???.
Does anyone know anything about Jonathon Metcalfe prior to 1787 and the Grahams ??.
There is quite a lot of information available on William Metcalfe and his life in America
Another Metcalfe i'm interested in is a Thomas Metcalfe who married a Mary Christian at Asby 10 nov 1791 and lived in the same general area of Flakebridge and Bowderdale in the parish of Orton

the flakebridge in orton parish is close to the modern road on the old railway line between tebay and ravenstonedale it is a farmstead and is close to bowderdale. Thanks for the Christian information for Appleby.
Jonathon and Elizabeth Metcalfe are down as innkeepers at Ravenstonedale around 1800 but which inn they were at I've still not found out.
William Metcalfe was born at sproadgill (sproatgill) orton
