• Deacon Eleazer Metcalf, Sr
• Birth: May 20, 1653 Dedham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA
• Death: May 14, 1704 Wrentham, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, USA
• Eleazer was the youngest child of Michael Metcalf Jr and Mary Fairbanks (who married Christopher Smith after Michael died).
• His father died when Eleazer was 10 months old and he was raised by his step-father, Christopher Smith.
• The time of Eleazer's move from Dedham to Wrentham Centre is unknown, but after King Philip's War in 1676, the inhabitants, who were forced to abandon their town in the wilderness for fear of the Indians, returned to a settlement that had been burned to the ground by the Indians. Among these were Eleazer Metcalf (unmarried), Samuel Fisher (his future father-in-law), and Joseph Kingsbury (a relative of Eleazer's grandson's wife).
• Eleazer was described in 1685 as one of the early planters living at "Wallomonopouge."
• He was admitted a freeman, May 15, 1690.
• Eleazer, Capt. Robert Pond & 46 others (including Eleazer's son, Michael), inhabitants of the western part of Wrentham, petitioned the general court to be set off as a separate parish and settle a minister among themselves. [This may be referring to the beginning of the first church in Wrentham in 1692.] He was an original member and the second deacon of the Wrentham church.
• Wrentham was about 20 miles SW of Dedham, about 5 miles from Rhode Island, so Eleazer was about 40 miles from Salem and was surely well aware of the witch trials which took place there in 1694 when over 200 people were arrested, and 14 were put to death.
• He married Melatiah Fisher 9th April, 1684. They had 8 children:
  • Eleazur Jr (1685-1704)
  • Michael, (1687-1754)
  • Samuel (1688/9-1737)
  • Ebenezer (1691-1751)
  • Jonathan (1693-1775)
  • Melatiah (1695-1771, married James Cheever)
  • Timothy (1697-1767)
  • Martha (1699-?, married Jabez Hills)

Norfolk, was a dornock weaver at Norwich, and free of the city, where all his ch. were b. m. 13 Oct. 1616, Sarah, had Michael, b. 13 Nov. 1617, d. soon; Mary, 14 Oct. 1618, but the geneal. of the fam. in Reg.

I think, the Rose, of Yarmouth, from Yarmouth, Apr. 1637, he calls hims. 45 yrs. of age, and w. 39. "From the relig. tyranny" exercised by Wren, then Bp. of .Norwich, he felt forced to esc. even at the expense of separ. from his fam. for a time, and emb. at London, 17 Sept. 1636, for N. E. but was sadly tormented by equal tempests on the water, and the ship at Christmas put back to Plymouth ; and so far was this a happiness that in Apr. foll, he had license for the whole fam. to come ; only 8 ch. are ment. in the custom-ho. docum. but I can hardly doubt that the name of John was casually overlook. At Boston he arr. "three days bef. mid. sum. with w. nine ch. and a serv." wh. was Thomas Comberbach, aged 16, 1 presume in one of the three ships ment. by Winth. as coming in, from Ipswich, 20 June.

A very, curious docum. his engagem. aft. 70 yrs. of age to keep the town sch. in 1656, is giv. in Geneal. Reg. X. 282. His will, made six wks. bef. gives to eight ch.

Still more uncertainty is felt unless we give him ano. w. for the wid. of Thomas M. nam. Abigail, d. at I. 5 May 1727, aged 88 yrs. An earlier Thomas of Ipswich is found by Mr. Felt to be inhab. there 1638.

Two of this name had, in 1829, been gr. at Harv. and seven at the other N. E. coll. It is oft. in old rec writ as no doubt it was sound. Medcalf. ___________________
