Wigle. The prominent and numerous family of this name in the County of Essex, Ont., is descended from John Wendel Wigle, who was born in Germany in the year 1763... At the age of twenty-one years John Wendel Wigle made his home at York, Pennsylvania, where in 1776 he was married to Julianna Rommer... about 1792, when government grants were thrown open to settlers, John W. Wigle and his family settled in Gosfield township, County of Essex, on Lot 6, Eastern Division...
     We have the following record of the eleven children born to this pioneer couple: ... Wendel, born in Pennsylvania, Dec. 17, 1781, married Isabella Scratch, and died April 6, 1860...
     Wendel Wigle, second son of John W. Wigle, was a boy when the family came to Gosfield, grew up on the homestead, and was thoroughly trained to the work of farming as it was in those days... By hard work and economy he wrested success from the wilderness, and added to his original possession until he owned some 2,200 acres, which at the present time would represent a large fortune. Mr. Wigle died April 6, 1860, at the home of his son Theodore, aged seventy-nine years, and his wife, Isabella (Scratch), passed away May 21, 1848, at the age of sixty. They were members and regular attendants of the Methodist Church. To this couple came a large family, viz: ... Jacob, born July 12, 1823, is mentioned below. ...
     Jacob Wigle, the eleventh child of Wendel Wigle, was born July 12, 1823, at Cedar Creek, at the home on Lot 11, where he grew to manhood. During his boyhood there were no government schools, and a teacher was hired only when there were enough patrons to warrant the expense, each pupil being taxed a stated sum. this it will be seen that his studies, such as they were, were pursued with little or no regularity. But it was not so with work. From early boyhood he was thoroughly trained to such work as there was to be done on a pioneer farm, where the tasks were heavy and modern appliances for the lightening of the labor were unknown. In 1844, when twenty-one years old, he began for himself on the north end of Lot 13, this tract of 100 acres being partly cleared when it came into his possession. However, he cleared a space for the log house which he erected a short distance east of the brick dwelling, which now adorns the place, and which was put up in 1859. Jacob Wigle completed the work of clearing and carried on farming successfully until his retirement, at one time owning and conducting as much as 550 acres besides his home place. He was an enterprising man, up-to-date and intelligent in all he undertook, and was always ready to embark in any venture that seemed likely to help the farmers. However, these enterprises did not always prove financially successful, as, for instance, the Farmers' Woolen Company, and the sailing vessel built by a company for carrying farm produce. For several years he was a member of the Kingsville Gas Company, which was a paying investment. In politics Mr. Wigle is a Reformer, and for one year served as township councillor. In religious matters he has been prominently identified with the Methodist Church for the past sixty years, in fact it was largely through his efforts that the church was built in his neighbourhood in 1877. He has been steward and trustee for many years.
     On April 13, 1886, Mr. Wigle left the home place and moved to Kingsville, where his has sinced lived in retirement, though, even now, at the age of over eighty, he is fully equal to a good day's work. Mr. Wigle has been twice married, and by his first wife, Jane Chapman, a native of Raleigh township, County of Kent, he had children as follows: Nellie, born Dec. 1, 1846, died when one month old. Theresa, born in 1848, married (first) William Sanderson, and (second) David Devitt, of Kingsville. Alfred, born in 1850, died when two months old. Althea, born in 1852, is the wife of Lewis Malott, who is mentioned elsewhere. Margaret Ellen, born March 9, 1853, is the wife of William Vickars, who is mentioned elsewhere. Nelson, born in 1855, is captain of a steamer and makes his home at St. Catharines; he married Victoria Toll. Mary Ann, born in 1857, is the wife of Edward Cook, of Mersea township. Martha, born in 1859, is the wife of Rev. William Godwin, of Exeter, Ont. Arthur Howard, born Dec. 29, 1861, married Miss Ellen Nailor. Alvin, born March 13, 1863, resides on the homestead; he married Mary Hindarsh, and they have two children: Gertrude, born Oct. 3, 1890, and Jacob, born Oct. 22, 1893.
     Jacob Wigle married for his second wife Lucinda Hicknott, of Prescott, Ont., and to this union came four childen: Gordon, born Aug. 2, 1865, married Eliza Askins. Addie, born March 4, 1867, married E. R. Wigle, a hardware merchant of Ruthven, and they have two children. Eliza Jane, born Aug. 26, 1870, is the wife of David Landcaster, of Kingsville, and has one child. Elva Edith, born May 19, 1872, is living with her parents.

Lewis Malott, a descendant of one of the first settlers of Gosfield South, County of Essex, resides on land owned by Peter Malott, the original settler.
     Joseph Malott, his grandfather, the eldest son of Peter Malott the settler, was born on Grosse Ile Aug. 11, 1792. He married Aug. 10, 1813, Mary McKinzie, who was born Sept. 28, 1792, and died April 16, 1854.. His children were as follows: ... William, father of our subject, was born Sept. 17, 1822...
     Capt. William Malott, father of Lewis Malott, was born Sept. 27, 1822, and grew up in Gosfield South...
     Capt. Malott married Mary Jane Scratch, who was born March 10, 1827, daughter of Squire John Scratch, and died March 30, 1895. The family born of this marriage was as follows: Lewis is mentioned below. ..
     Lewis Malott was born on Lot 7, Gosfield South, Aug. 8, 1846. He enjoyed the advantages of a public school education, and as a young man began sailing the lakes with his father, and has since given much of his attention to marine matters. He received a master's commission on Sept. 26, 1892, since which time he has given only a portion of his time to the water, having an attractive property on the lake shore, which is a portion of his grandfather's estate, and where he has made his home since 1869. This property consists of twenty-two acres, in a high state of cultivation. His home is most delightfully located, and during the summer months it is filled with boarders who recognize it as a charming resort.
     In 1869 Mr. Malott married Althea, daughter of Jacob Wigle, a very prominent man of the township, and to them have come children as follows: Gordon S., born March 19, 1873, is a pen artist of rare ability, employed by the Peninsular Engraving Co.; he married Euphemia Robertson. William J., born March 13, 1875, has been for the past two years proprietor of a jewelry business in Toronto. Edward, born May 24, 1877, died in January, 1888. Emma J., born April 11, 1881, is at home. Nina, born Nov. 16, 1883, is a student at Windsor Model School. Allen R., born Jan. 20, 1887, and Hazel, born Sept. 28, 1891, are at home.
     Mr. Malott is a Conservative in politics, but has never taken a active part in local affairs. In June, 1870, he joined the Masonic fraternity, and has since taken a very active interest in the welfare of that organization, serving for seven years as secretary. He and his family are consistent members of the Methodist church of Kingsville. Few men are more highly esteemed throughout the township than Mr. Malott, who has a host of warm personal friends, not only in County Essex, but throughout the country.
