Melatiah Hamant was born on 26 May 1704 in Medfield, Massachusetts, the daughter of Timothy and Melatiah (Clark) Hamant.  She married Michael Metcalf (1706-1771) in 1726, and they had eight children between 1729 and 1745.  Michael and Melatiah (Hamant) Metcalf are my 6th great-grandparents, through their son Burgess Metcalf (1741-1816) who married Jerusha --?-- (1750-1817) in about 1770.
