Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 61-64:
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... 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... 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...
     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: ... Arthur Howard, born Dec. 29, 1861, married Miss Ellen Nailor...
