Thank you for posting this information. I am a descendant of Augustine Windle/ Wendel/ Wendle as well. The Sarah and Jacob Grove mentioned were my 4th Great Grandparents. I have been trying unsuccessfully to determine who Jacob's parents and ancestors were. I have info on his descendants, but not his ancetstors. I did appreciate the info about Sarah's family and wanted to thank you all for sharing it.
