Thomas H. Wigle, a prosperous farmer of Gosfield South township, County of Essex, located on the 3rd Concession, belongs to the prominent old pioneer family of that name, the early ancestral data of which will be found elsewhere.
     John Wigle, grandfather of our subject, was the oldest child of John Wigle, the pioneer settler of that name in Gosfield, and he was born Dec. 21, 1778, at York, Pennsylvania, and died Jan. 28, 1871, aged ninety-two years, in Gosfield. At Amherstburg, Feb. 9, 1802, he married Susanna Scratch, born July 23, 1785, on Hog Island, and died Jan. 29, 1860, aged seventy-four years, in Gosfield. They had the following children: ... Wendel, father of Thomas H. Wigle, born Sept. 9, 1806, married Hannah Hairsine...
     Wendel Wigle, the fourth child of John Wigle, was born on the Wigle homestead in Gosfield, and there grew to manhood. At maturity his father gave him a tract of 142 acres of land on Lot 3, Eastern Division, and upon this he settled...
     On Nov. 23, 1830, he married Hannah Hairsine, born March 5, 1812, in Yorkshire, England, who died April 6, 1888, in Gosfield. She was a daughter of Charles and Mary (Burton) Hairsine...
     To Wendel and Hannah (Hairsine) Wigle were born the following children: ... Thomas H., born April 2, 1833, is the subject of this sketch ... Julianna, born Feb. 22, 1841, married Edward Rodgers, of Gosfield...
     Thomas H. Wigle was born in the frame house above mentioned, in Lot 3, on Mill Creek, and he remained under the home roof until he was twenty-six years of age... His first tract included eighty acres, to which Mr. Wigle has added eighty-five acres, and is now in possession of one of the most desirable farms of this locality...
     Mr. Wigle was married (first) to Delilah Wilcox, who died two and one-half years later, and he married (second) Elizabeth Ann Rodgers, and to them were born: Thorpin, born May 18, 1865, married Alva Peterson, and they have Eva, Ella and Alla; Ortena, born Dec. 28, 1866, married Thomas O'Donald, a merchant of Wallaceburg, and they have John and Lillie; Laona, born Nov. 27, 1867, married John Minor, a tile manufacturer, and they have Carl, Manley and William; Lillie, born June 15, 1869, married Manley B. Squires, a plumber of Windsor; Wellington, born Oct. 21, 1872, married Mary Bruner, and they have John, Lila, Elizabeth and Beatrice (he graduated from the Detroit Dental College in 1900, and is now practicing his profession in that city); and May, born Jan. 20, 1877, married George E. Christmas, of Harbour Beach, Michigan, and they have one son, Thomas William E. Mr. Wigle and family belong to the Kingsville Methodist Church.
     Rodgers. Henry Rodgers, the paternal grandfather of Mrs. Wigle, was born Nov. 6, 1768, in Cornwall, England, where he married Philippa Short, born also in Cornwall, Dec. 25, 1766. Both died in England, survived by only one son, Henry Rodgers.
     Henry Rodgers (2) was born May 25, 1803, in Cornwall, England, where he grew to maturity and married Elizabeth Westlake, of the same locality, born May 10, 1806. In 1837 they came to Canada, and soon after located at Bear Creek, County of Kent. Here Mr. Rodgers bought a farm of 100 acres of wild land, which he was engaged in clearing until July, 1852, when he removed to the County of Essex. There he located, securing 200 acres of land in Gosfield township, on the south-east of Lot 4, Concession 2, all of which was in nature's keeping. There he built the family's first home, and died on this place, May 28, 1864, before he had accomplished much in the way of its improvement. His wife had died the previous September, and both were buried in the old Kingsville cemetery. They had these children: George, born Nov. 2, 1826, became a successful lumberman, farmer and business man, married Sarah Little, of Wallaceburg, Ont., and died Sept. 4, 1897, at Clairmont, South Dakota; Mary, born July 2, 1828, died aged ten years; Digooy, born Aug. 12, 1830, married Sarah Dustin, lived at Wallaceburg, and died aged sixty years.
