     James WEDDLE was born between 1817 and 1820 in Maryland and died after 1880, perhaps in Piqua, Miami County, Ohio. Although not proven, he was perhaps the son of John and Christiana/Christine (Parr) Weddle who married 13 January 1817 in Frederick County, Maryland. In the 1850 federal census, this couple was enumerated in Middletown, Frederick County, he age 57 and a miller, and she age 59, both born in Maryland. With them was son John, age 14. James, age 30, Mahala and their five children also were in Middletown in 1850, and in their household was Daniel Weddle, age 20, deaf and dumb, likely James’ brother. Another brother was likely Jacob Weddle, who, too, was enumerated in Middletown in the 1850 census, age 32. James, Mahala and their family moved to Montgomery County, Ohio around 1858. By 1860, the family was in Brookville, Clay Township in Montgomery County. The Jacob Weddle who was possibly James’ brother was close by in Union Township, Miami County, Ohio in 1860.  (This Jacob married Mary Ann Tracey 17 August 1844 in Frederick County Maryland.)

     Another brother or other kin of James’ was possibly Lawson B. Weddle, who was living with the Jacob Weddle mentioned above in 1850, age 17, a miller like Jacob.  Lawson married Emaline, called Emma, Harshman 24 August 1853 in Frederick County. (James Weddle's wife Mahala Gilbert's mother was named Mary Harshman.) By 1900 Lawson, Emma and family resided in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio and remained there through the 1900 census. Lawson was born in February 1833 in Maryland and was a house carpenter. Emma was born in January 1836 in Maryland. The couple had been married 47 years and had 12 children, 8 living.

     Court Proceedings in the 20 May 1870 issue of the Ohio Journal, Sidney, Ohio, page 3, column 5:  ‘On Wednesday the case of A. Wyatt vs. James Weddle and wife was decided in favor of plaintiff.  The lands upon which A. Wyatt holds mortgage to be sold unless the debt be paid within 10 days.’ Court Proceedings in the 12 May 1871 issue of the Ohio Journal, Sidney, Ohio, page 3, column 4:  ‘Andrew Wyatt vs. James Weddle and Mahalla Weddle, civil action.  Continued under former order.’

    James may have married a second time after the death of wife Mahala in 1876. He was possibly the James Weddel who married Sarah Orput/Orffutt 30 November 1882.  However, this was more likely his son James Weddle, born about 1852 who was still single in 1880.
