Tom, Enjoyed your comment on the discussion about John and Sarah Congrove.As to Sarah's maiden name it is pronounced "Y-GAL" and has been spelled Wigle(her father Phillip's appraisment of estate in 12apr1815)also Weigle(The genforum site that we all use to gather info about the family)and other ways in the census,but all were descendant's of Phillip who fought in revolution.I have all his children,just now getting to Sarah,the youngest.Her father must have died around the time she was born,her mother (Barbara)in 1853.I have a 1830 Va census shows John Congrove with wife ? and a male & female under 5.I do not know their wedding date.I have wondered if they were older than listed on the census,maybe 1807-1808.Also I have some evidence she may have been the mother of my John Wigal b.1829.He was my Gr. grandfather and was raised (1840 census) by his uncle William (Sarah's brother)and inhierited the Wigal homestead (Phillips)from William.Sarah had 10 older bro&sis,3 went west to Ind. but the rest were within walking distance,if seperated by a river you could walk across then.Her sister Catherine Brookhart lived at Hockingport.As to Sarah's children,I see 2 Sarah (1833,1851),also Ira& Jim 1836 (also Sarah L. & Ellen 1851 and Eliza & Jackson 1853)seem to Possibly be twins?My John was the father of twins, grandfather of 2 sets, gr grand of 2or 3.I find it curious that Sarah did not name any of her sons John.Now I do not have unfo on their time in Ross co.In the 1870 census I saw a Sarah Congrove living with a Wilson family in Olive Twsp.I wonder if it was her? I was born in Wood Co. Wva on the part of the original Wigal land on Lee creek.We were looking at an old Cemetary on that land last Fall.Lots of history there.Any of my cousins please reply thanks for any info. Roger
