Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers, Toronto, 1905, p. 33-36:
Scratch. The ancestor of all of this name in the County of Essex was Leonard Scratch, or Kratz, as it was originally spelled...
     Leonard Scratch passed away Aug. 12, 1829, and his widow survived until 1840. The were the parents of eleven children... John, born July 24, 1795, is mentioned below...
     Judson Scratch, a successful farmer of the township of Gosfield South, is a son of Theodore Scratch and a grandson of John Scratch, and a great-grandson of Leonard and Mary (Munger) Scratch. John Scratch was born July 24, 1795, in the township of Gosfield, where he grew to manhood. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, and in time inherited the old homestead. He was quite a prominent man in his day, and served as magistrate from 1834 until the time of his death. In November, 1818, he married Sarah Malott, who was born May 10, 1799, and died Feb. 21, 1849. To this union came children as follows: ... Theodore, born June 20, 1822, became the father of Judson Scratch...
     Theodore Scratch was born on the homestead June 20, 1822, and when twenty-two years old came into possession of 100 acres of that place, lying in Lot 2, east division. Later he sold that place to Daniel Wigle and bought a farm west of Ruthven, but after a few years he bought a fifty-acre tract in Lot L, 2d Concession, to which he removed. That land is now almost within the village of Kingsville, but when he first moved to it it was swampy and heavily timbered, and he built his house on the highest spot. There his family was reared...
     On April 29, 1844, Theodore Scratch was married to Sarah Loop, by whom he had three children: Alfred, now a prosperous business man of Fitzgerald, Georgia; Sydney, who died of fever while serving in the American rebellion, in 1863, at the age of seventeen years, and was buried in Virginia; and Josiah, who died when four years old. For his second wife Theodore Scratch married Elizabeth Tofflemire, on Sept. 24, 1854, and they became the parents of four children: Sarah, who is the wife of Darwin Jones, of Gosfield North; Caroline, who died when twelve years old; Theodosia, who died when five years old; and Judson. The mother of these dying Jan. 27, 1899, Mr. Scratch married Mrs. Mary Glady, by whom he had no children.
     Judson Scratch was born July 4, 1861, on the place he now owns, and was reared there. He enjoyed such advantages as the village schools afforded, and meantime was trained to hard work on the farm, when twenty years old coming into possession of the farm, which he has carried on ever since. His holdings comprise 100 acres, he having acquired the fifty-acre tract adjoining his original place, and all of his land is cleared and under a fine state of cultivation, most of this improvement representing the work of Mr. Scratch himself. He has done well in his agricultural work, and his place give evidence of the prosperity and thrift of the owner, who is painstaking in all his work. He carries on general farming, and also raises some tobacco. In 1863 he built his present cozy brick house, and he has also put up all the other buildings which adorn the place.
     Mr. Scratch has given proper attention to his private affairs, but he also finds time for local public matters, and has been quite prominent in municipal politics, serving six consecutive terms as councillor. In 1902 he was candidate for reeve. His political faith is that of the Reform party. For nine years Mr. Scratch has been a member of the board of education of Kingsville, and in 1902 was chairman of that body. Socially he affiliates with the I.O.O.F. and A.O.U.W. at Kingsville, having held membership in the latter order for fourteen years, and being at present a past master.
     On Jan. 9, 1881, Mr. Scratch was united in marriage with Miss Zilla Wigle, and to this union have come two children: Roy Howell, born June 24, 1884, and Theodore Michael, born Jan. 17, 1892.
     Michael J. Wigle, father of Mrs. Scratch, was born in the township of Gosfield March 15, 1831, and was the fifteenth child born to John and Susanna (Scratch) Wigle. He is now a resident of Kingsville. He married Jane Crow, and their family consisted of four children, namely: Cornelia, born July 7, 1854, is the wife of John Ulch. Rosenia, born Sept. 16, 1856, is the wife of Charles Quick, a merchant of Kingsville. Byron, born Sept. 6, 1858, married Maud Broadwell. Zilla, born Dec. 17, 1860, is the wife of Judson Scratch.
