History of the Wigle Family and Their Descendants, The Wigle Family, Kingsville, Ontario, 1931.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 250-251:
Peter Gilboe, a retired farmer of Gosfield North ... was born in Gosfield South, near Olinda, Sept. 14, 1832.
     Joseph and Elizabeth (Wigle) Gilboe, his parents, were among the earliest settlers of the County of Essex. The former was born in Quebec in 1805, the son of a lieutenant in General La Fayette's army, at the time of his campaign in Canada to aid the United States. Joseph Gilboe was quite a boy when they came to Amherstburg... Mrs. Elizabeth W. Gilboe was born in Gosfield township, County of Essex, in 1808, daughter of Wendel and Mary Wigle, who came to Canada from Pennsylvania at the time of the immigration of the U. E. Loyalists, and settled and died in Gosfield.
     After Mr. Gilboe's marriage he settled first at Olinda, in Gosfield South, where he cleared up a farm and erected a hotel... He then moved to the present farm on Talbot street, at the time all bush land, which he purchased from Thomas Squires, and there he again started to work his way up from the beginning. His wife died at this home in 1856, which he survived till 1882, when he died at the home of one of his sons, in Michigan. He and his wife were among the founders of Methodism in that section of the country...
     Peter Gilboe grew up on his father's farm, assisting in the work and receiving the limited education which was all that he could obtain in that day and place. As he grew toward manhood he worked by the day till he had earned enough to buy forty acres of his father's homestead, when he began farming for himself. All the present buildings he put up, and as time passed, he purchased one hundred acres adjoining his farm on the south. This place is all under cultivation and has been made one of the finest in the county. At present Mr. Gilboe is building a modern brick house on one part of his homestead, which his son, Hubert, is to occupy.
     Christmas Day, 1855, witnessed the marriage of Mr. Gilboe to Miss Abigail Neville, born in Gosfield North in June, 1835, the daughter of Francis and Nancy (Williams) Neville. They were of Welsh origin, and settled in Gosfield at about the same time with Joseph Gilboe. They passed the rest of their lives in that township, and were among the well-to-do and highly respected pioneers. Of the nine children of Peter and Abigail Gilboe, all born on the present farm, seven are living: ... (3) Andrew married Miss Lottie Knight, of the County of Essex, and they have four children, Clara, Eva, Leo and Earle. He resides in Detroit, where he is foreman of the "Cadillac Hotel", one of the finest in the city...
