A French or Italian guy could have easily changed his name to Metcalfe when he arrived in America, you know.

With a name like Metcalfe I’m sure he has some English ancestry. French people wouldn’t be likely to change their names and I don’t think many Italians have either. They usually are very proud of their heritage and their names are not difficult to pronounce. Metcalfe is not that common a name. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount him having some English ancestry.
