Moving backwards to the 1860 Indiana Census, where Jacob would have been abt
10, Jefferson Co, Monroe Twp, pg 912: found Jacob Connett, age 10, born
Germany-Prussia with siblings, Lewis 25, John 19, Philip 17, Mary E 13 , and
Nicholas 7 - all born Germany Prussia. No parents. I checked every variant
of name, but this listing was the only Jacob. I also checked the 1850
Indiana Census and did not find this family.
Found a Cristopher Metank/Metauk in the 1860 Indiana Census. This family in
Grant Co, Jefferson Twp; all the older ones born in PA. Did not find
Metank, Metauk, Mettank in the 1850 census.
What birth place did the 1870 census show for Jacob? What info on the
Mettank family? Where were they born as per the 1870 census?
Do you have names of Jacob and Nancy Dunlap's children? Sometimes this can
shed some light.

I have had good luck before writing to this list so will try it
again. I am looking for parents, etc. for Jacob Connett. The first
place I find him is in Grant Co. in the 1870 census age 19 in the home
of Christian Mettank as a farm laborer. In 9 Feb 1873 he marries to
Nancy Dunlap in Delaware Co. Indiana. The 1880 Census gives information
he was born Indiana and parents born Virginia. Also it lists him as
being maimed, crippled , or disabled. Are there any ideas as to where
to look for his parents? Thanks for the help.
