Probable, but not proven line of descent. I believe that the John Metcalfe who married Lydia Crutchley was born earlier, about 1642:
John Metcalfe (1), Gent. who was transported to Maryland in 1634 on the Ark. He may have been born about 1605. He was a nephew of Anthony Metcalfe in England. He was still living in 1650:

He had probable son John Metcalfe (2) b. abt 1642:
14 May 1663. John METTCALFE, Sheriff, is called to make an arrest and testify in the case of George MARSHALL against William GREEN. (Archives of Maryland, Proceedings of the Council of Maryland, 1663-1666, Vol. 49, p. 24.)

Then John Metcalfe (3) was born about 1667:

Other possiblities, but not as probable for John's (b. 1673)father:
1666. Robert METTCALFE was transported. Liber 10, Folio 231. (The Early Settlers of Maryland: In Index to Names of Immigrants, Compiled from Records of Land Patents, 1633-1680, in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. Skordas, Gust., editor.

Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1968, p. 312.) George Metcalfe, brother of Richard, Thomas, Peter & Gilbert Metcalfe(1), all sons of Richard Metcalfe and Ann Palliser of York, England. This George had children, but we have not yet found a record to confirm his family. His brother Gilbert, Richard, Thomas, and Peter are all found in mariner records. Richard & Thomas did not have children. There may have been a brother named John, but this has not been proved. George who traded in Maryland, may be a possiblity. George would have been born about 1640-1650.
1677. Alexander METCALF was transported to Maryland. Liber 1, Folio 442. . (The Early Settlers of Maryland: In Index to Names of Immigrants, Compiled from Records of Land Patents, 1633-1680, in the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland. Skordas, Gust., editor.

1680. Allen METCALF was transported to Maryland. Liber WC2, 183-184. (The Early Settlers of Maryland, by Gust Skordas, Genealogical Publishing Co., 1986, p. 315.)

I, Thomas CRUCHLEY of AA, for the fatherly love I have for my daughter, Ledia MEDCALFE of AA, and for divers other good causes, I give her one moiety or half part of my parcel of land called DOROSIS (DORSEY’S?)
