The History of Daviess County, KY reports that Henry Metcalf was a notorious guerrilla.In 1865 He and two other uerrillas were captured and sentenced to be hanged.The younger of the group was hung but Metcalf, with the help of an attorney had his sentence commuted to five years impresonment.He was later released and was reported to be a respectable citizen of Ohio Co., KY
p 177 of History of Daviess County, KYMy line of Medcalfs came from Ohio County, KY but I don't find Henry in any of my ancestors.Good chance he is related.If so, they moved across the Ohio River to Indiana.Good luck
