This he occupied until 1843, when he bought Lot 15, Concession 2, consisting of 200 acres of wild land. Erecting a log house Mr. McCormick occupied it until 1860, when he built a brick house, in which he lived until his death....

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 57-58:
Burwell W. Wigle, a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of this part of the County of Essex, is an enterprising farmer here, and one of the leading men and substantial citizens of Gosfield township, which he is serving as councillor. The Wigle family is a large and influential one.
     Henry Wigle, father of Burwell W., was the eighth child of Wendel Wigle, and was born April 1, 1818, on the homestead farm which is now the property of Zacharias Wigle. He was about five years old when the family moved to Cedar Creek, where he grew to manhood. When he started out for himself, his father gave him all of Lot 10, Concession 2, of which only about 2 acres had been cleared. He took possession of a small log house on the property, and lived there during the hard work incident to the clearing of this large body of land. In the course of time, as the family increased, more room was needed, and he enlarged the home, but in 1854 he erected the large brick residence which still stands on the place, although its builder has long passed away. In 1858 he sold that farm, at which time he had succeeded in clearing about 100 acres. He then bought the Gerty farm, located on Lot 256, in Concession 4, which he gave to his son Albert, a few years later, and returned to the old farm, which is now included in the present village of Ruthven. He was a man of progressive ideas, and much of the rapid growth of the hamlet was immediately due to his enterprize. He encouraged the establishment of the woolen mill, and laid out village lots, and made them attractive. In association with his eldest brother John Wigle, he started a sawmill, which was the first business enterprise at Ruthven. He was identified with all the educational and moral movements in this locality, and was liberal with money and time, while his advice was always to be relied upon in practical matters. He was a faithful member of the Church of England, and did much to found it and support it here. After a long and useful life Mr. Wigle died April 12, 1874.
     Henry Wigle was twice married (first) in Detroit, Oct. 5, 1840, to Sarah, daughter of Matthew and Deborah (Wright) McCormick, of Colchester, who died April 14, 1868. His second marriage occurred at Windsor, May 10, 1869, to Elizabeth McCormick, daughter of Alexander and Mary (Lidwell) McCormick, of Colchester. She still survives, and resides with our subject. Mr. Wigle's children were all born to his first union, and were as follows: Lucetta Deborah, born Oct 24, 1841, is the widow of Martin Moore, and resides at Hannibal, Missouri. Mary Ann, born Nov. 7, 1843, is the wife of James Moore, of Odanah, Wisconsin; Francis Arthur, born June 2, 1845, now the popular postmaster at Ruthven, married Jane Whaley; Albert Henry, born May 15, 1848, is a farmer of Gosfield North, and married Sarah Loundsbury, now deceased; Cordelia Sarah, born July 15, 1850, married William S. Wilder, of Kansas City, Missouri, and both died in 1904, just six days apart; Cornelius Matthew, born Aug. 19, 1852, is a farmer of Gosfield North, and married to Mary Cook; and Burwell Wendel was born Nov. 22, 1855...
