I have Christopher & Maria (WIGLE) AMENTROUT from Hardy W.Virginia in my tree. The couple had 7 children. When Maria died, Christopher re-married Elizabeth BORROR & they moved to Illinois. In 1848 4 of Christopher & Maria's children died of milk sickness caused by cows eating snake root.
Maria had 2 brothers, Robert (m: Catherine CARR) & John (m: Sarah PATRICK), and a sister named Mary (m: Jacob CARR). Their parents are not known, all found in Hardy, W. Virginia. Robert moved to Union Co., Ohio where he died in 1887, John moved to Illinios before moving to Jefferson Co., Iowa where he died in 1869. If you have any info on Mary & Jacob could you please forward it?? I have little into on the couple. Hope this info helps.
