Wigal. He was my wife's great grandfather. I found him on the 1880 census for Wood Co. Steele district along with his father James G.( age 44) and his wife, Miriam Wigal (age 30). He is nineteen. There are six other siblings listed Leander F. 17; George M. 16; Sarah J. 12; Mary A. 8; Samuel F. 7; and Robert J. 5. On the 1900 Wood Co., census he (William S. age 39) lives in Tygart District along with wife Marinda M.( b. Aug 1861 age 38) and his daughter Clara B.(Blanche, b. Dec1889 age 10) and their son William H.( b. July 1895 age 4) On the 1910 Wood Co. census he is listed as being 48 married twice, this time for seven years. Mazie is his wife, age 46; married once for seven years; giving birth to two child both still living. There are three children listed Blanche age 20, Julia L. (my wife's grandmother) age 6 and Edwin L. age 5. What has me confused is that if he was only married twice, and Marinda and him are listed as being married five years and her having only one child and it still living. Who is Blanche's mother? If I could find him on the 1890 census for Wood Co (most likely Steele District) that might help solve some of the mystery. If anyone can help me with any information on William S. his daughter Clara Blanche, or his father James G. Wigal, I would greatly appreciated it. One thing more Blanche I believe married David H. Grimm somtime after 1910 and died before 1920. He is listed as William's son-n-law on the 1920 census and a widower
