6have gone to Schoenberg; perhaps the Darmstadt registration was good for the entire province of Starkenberg.In any event, by this time, he must already have met Sophie Schade in Schoenberg. On 8 May 1832 is anentry for Darmstadt: "Worked here <strong>and</strong> conducted himself well". This was perhaps his notice of departure. On9 May 1832 his first son, Anton, was born in Schoenberg. The official marriage was on 30 June 1833.Evidently he stayed after May in Schoenberg <strong>and</strong> worked in Heppenheim because of the s<strong>and</strong>stone to be foundthere. An extract from the Citizens Register for Schoenberg notes that he was a citizen since April 1833. Thelast entry in his "W<strong>and</strong>erbuch", without location noted, but perhaps from Heppenheim, says "HeinrichMetzendorf, as a stranger to the town, paid the legal entry fee with one 'Gulden'". In the Schoenberg CitizensRegister his entry is stricken with the remark: "Removed to Heppenheim in the year 1834". The date is notdefinitely readable. The latest year would be 1836 when his son, Johann Heinrich, was born in Heppenheim.Johann Heinrich METZENDORF <strong>and</strong> Sophie SCHADE had the following children:+ 10 i. Anton6 METZENDORF was born on 9 May 1832.+ 11 ii. Maria METZENDORF was born on 5 March 1834.12 iii. Johann ("John") Heinrich METZENDORF was born in Heppenheim, Starkenburg, Hessen,Germany on 8 June 1836.4 Johann died after 1890 in USA. He was inducted into the military on16 May 1861 in Washigton, D.C.. Johann worked as machinist. It was reported that nothingfurther was heard of Johann Heinrich Metzendorf after he emigrated to the United States. AJohn (i.e., "Johann") Metzendorf enlisted in Company C, 5th Inf. Regiment of New York on 16May 1861 at Washington, D.C. at the age of 25. Since Johann Heinrich Metzendorf was born on8 June 1836 this would seem to be the same person. A review of the roster of the 5th Regimentindicates that practically all members were of German extraction. John Metzendorf wasmustered out in New York City on 7 August 1861. His Civil War pension file indicates that hiswife was Katherine <strong>and</strong> guardian was Frank Nuss. John Metzendorf is listed in the New YorkCity Directory of 1869 as a Machinist at 80 Elm Street with his home at 394 Second Avenue. AWilliam Metzendorf is also listed as "trimming" with home at 172 Delancey. This is perhaps hisbrother Wilhelm who is said to have gone to America <strong>and</strong> then returned to Heppenheim, as thereis no later evidence of a William Metzendorf. Wilhelm Metzendorf was a glazier, so this couldexplain the "trimming" description. Also, his first child was born in Germany in 1879, so he wasmost likely in America in 1869. John is also listed in the 1890 Directory as a Machinist withhis home at 746 E. 170th Street. Interestingly, in the same directory, a Sophia Metzendorf islisted with her home at 394 Second Avenue, John Metzendorf's former address in 1869. Nofurther information has thus far been found on John ("Johann") Metzendorf, but a review of hisCivil War pension file should produce further details.+ 13 iv. Heinrich METZENDORF was born on 28 July 1838.+ 14 v. Wilhelm METZENDORF was born on 13 November 1840.+ 15 vi. Adam METZENDORF was born on 8 December 1842.+ 16 vii.
