In 1860 he and his wife and two children lived in Liverpool Township, Medina County, Ohio. They lived near his parents’ home and that of his brother Peter. Their last name was spelled Wigel on the census.
In 1870 he and his wife and six children lived in Liverpool Township, Medina County, Ohio. His parents Jacob (age 87) and Louisa (age 75) Weigel lived next door with their daughter Christina and a 6-year-old girl, Paulina Weigel. The census taker spelled their family name Wigal.
He signed his will on November 10, 1871. His will was recorded by the probate court on November 23, 1871.
The findagrave site gives his birth information as 19 Feb 1858 in Ohio. They appear to have misread the inscription on the grave stone as 13 years of age instead of 43 years of age. The translation of the full inscription is 43 years, 9 months and 25 days.
