Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 61-64:
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... 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...
Wendel Wigle, second son of John W. Wigle, was a boy when the family came to Gosfield, grew up on the homestead... 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...
Leonard Wigle, son of Wendel, and father of Philip Wigle, a well-known farmer of the township of Gosfield South, was born Nov. 27, 1814, on the old homestead which is at present known as the Horatio Wigle farm...
Leonard Wigle was three times married...
For his second wife Leonard Wigle married Nancy Fox, and to this union were born: ... Orlando, a farmer of the township of Gosfield South, who married Miss Georgina Wright...
