BIRTH: Calculated birth date is 10 Feb 1815, as per cemetery data furnished by email on 4 Feb 2002 from Judi Pegg shows age at death of 83 yr. 11 m. 16 ds.

BIOGRAPHY: Listed as Peter Metzler in 1850 Fed. Census for Twp. 15N R1W (Richland Grove Twp.), Mercer Co., IL, age 34, b. PA, farmer, w/wife Sarah + son William [1st marriage] + children Elizabeth, [Perrin] LaFayette & Branson [2nd marriage, i.e. Sarah]. The 1870 Fed. Census for Richland Grove, Mercer Co., IL shows age of 56, born OH, which is in conflict with 1850 Census birth state and calculated birth would be about 1814, so this is probably a minor error. Listed as John Metzler in 1880 Fed. Census for Richland Grove, Mercer Co., IL, Dist. 185, enumerated on Jun 1880, age 65, b. IL [in error], farmer, w/wife & daughters Jane [Jennie] & Hester.
