Is said to be a sister of Judith Metin, although the only evidence of this is Bell's speculation that her surname (Mehr) may have been misread in the Lunenburg records and should be read as Metinspouse: Boutelier, Jean Nicholas (1731 - 1799)
spouse:Event - [date: 10 APR 1736] [place: Lutheran Church, Saint Marie, Montbeliard, Doubs, France]
A Pierre Metin, son of Nicholas Metin married a Marie Catherine Baisnier, daughter of Jean Pierre Baisnier. This is the only Metin encountered in the Montbeliard records. A Montbeliard referrence work cites Metin in Bethoncourt in 1712, in Byans in the 1600s, and in Laire in 1754.
Property - [date: 17 MAY 1753] [place: Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada]
In a random drawing in Halifax, he was assigned a town lot in Roudolf's Division.Property - [date: SEP 1753] [place: Lunenburg, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada]
He was assigned Garden Plot A-11 in the second division. This lot was marked as vacant in the 1762 survey.
A 17 year old brother, Jean Nicholas Metin, is shown in his own entry on the passenger list of the 1752 sailing of the Sally. There are no other entries for any Metins in any of the passenger lists. Bell's notes (at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia), however, show both a Jean Nicholas and Judith Metin on the victualling lists in Halifax. The only evidence for a sister to Judith being present is Bell's hypothesis that the surname of the bride (Anna Judith) in an 1757 marriage of Jean Nicholas Boutelier should read 'Metin', rather than 'Mehr' , as it appears to have been originally recorded.spouse: Bizet, Jean George (b1737 - <1788)
'Planters and Pioneers' is said to show Judith and a sister, Anna Judith, arriving on the Sally in 1752, although their parents are not shown on the passenger list. It is likely that this source is based upon Bell's notes.
An analysis of the passenger list for the 1752 Sally suggests that Judith (and her sister, if she had one) may have traveled with the family of Jacques Boutilier.Property - [date: 1767] [place: Lunenburg, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada]
She purchased a thirty acre farm lot from Adam Boullion

Her name is shown in the Brevilliers' records most often as Metthey, but also as Metthe and Mettey. Her birth record is in sequence for January 1703, but the recorded date shows a Ɖ' over-written by a Ɗ'. This may have been the result of the 'official' record actually having been copied from an earlier draft copyspouse: Güyon, Jean Nicholas (*1697 - r1735)Christening - [date: 02 JAN 1704] [place: Reformed Church, Brevilliers, Montbeliard, Haute-Saône, France]
