William James Wendell was born on 22 October 1839 at Beaver Twp., Guernsey (now Noble) Co., OH, The military pension record of William J. Wendell indicates a birth location of Urichsville, in Tuscarawas County. This is the only source suggesting that the family of John Wendell and Rebecca Hart ever lived outside Guernsey and Noble Counties. It seems unlikely -- there is no other evidence or anecdotal information suggesting that any of the children of John Wendell were born anywhere other than Guernsey or Noble Counties, most probably in or near Beaver Township. DLB 2008.1,2
He was the son of John Wendell and Rebecca Hart. William James Wendell began military service on 14 November 1861 : Enlisted as Private, Co. K, 174 Ohio Volunteer Infantry; mustered out 10 November 1862.

One Hundred and Seventy-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry: Col., John S. Jones; Lieut. Col., A. James Sterling; Majs., Benjamin C. G. Reed, William G. Beatty. This regiment was organized at Camp Chase from Aug. 18 to Sept. 21, 1864 to serve for one year. It was ordered to Nashville, Tennessee and to report to Gen. W. T. Sherman. It reached Nashville on Sept. 26 and was immediately ordered to proceed to Murfreesboro, where it remained until Oct. 27, when it was ordered to report to the commanding officer at Decatur, Alabama. It was then moved to the mouth of Elk River, leaving on the way four companies as a garrison for Athens, Alabama. The regiment soon returned to Decatur, where it remained until Nov. 26, when the town was evacuated. It then returned to Murfreesboro, where it remained during the siege and participated in the battle of Overall's Creek. On Dec. 7 it was engaged in the battle of "The Cedars," and on Jan. 17 moved down the Tennessee and up the Ohio river to Cincinnati. It was then ordered to Washington, D. C., which place it reached on Jan. 29, 1865. It remained in camp at Washington until Feb. 21, when it started for North Carolina, reaching Fort Fisher on the 23d. It marched to Morehead City on the 24th and to New Berne on the 25th. It took part in the battle of Wise's Forks, near Kinston, NC.

Lowery.4 William James Wendell lived on 8 July 1870 at Oxford Twp., Guernsey Co., OH, lived adjacent to his parents.5 He lived in 1880 at Millwood Twp., Guernsey Co., OH.6 He lived in 1890 at Barnesville, Belmont Co., OH, appears to have been separated from Susannah as of the 1890 Veterans schedule for the census.3 He lived on 4 June 1900 at 412 Spring Street, Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH, pensioner.7 He lived on 4 April 1910 at 1129 Margaret Avenue, Canton, Stark Co., OH, in son John's household.8 He died on 8 November 1911 at Canton, Stark Co. (probably), OH, at age 72. He was buried on 10 November 1911 at Northwood Cemetery, Sec. 8, Lots 35 - 46, Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH, Findagrave #106642694.
Note: Was living in the household of Thomas Burson as a farm hand at the time of the 1860 census, p.240, adjacent to the farm of Joseph Jeffery, his future father in-law. Thomas Burson's family is in the 1850 census as well, p.205B.
Per card index at Northwood Cemetery, the burial plot was purchased by a John Wendell. This was probably his son (b. 1880), with whom he was living in 1910 at Canton.
The following stories came down to his great-granddaughter Olive R. Wendell, through her father, Earl, a grandson of William J. Wendell:
As a retired widower in Cambridge, every year at Christmas William would go to the market and buy fresh oysters, which were only available at that time of year. He would take these to the home of whichever child he was living with, and ask to have them prepared for oyster stew. Also, he loved to hear a Victrola played in the years before his death. In the families of his children and grandchildren, there were seldom-spoken references to the fact that he and Susanna had not always gotten along very well, and had in fact separated at one point (see the information on Cora's placement in foster care below). The 1890 veteran's census, in which he is found living at Barnesville, indicates he was living alone at that time. Interestingly, in the Northwood cemetery where they are buried, their headstones are facing in opposite directions to this day. DLB 2005.

He ended military service on 10 November 1862.3 He married Susannah A. Jeffery, daughter of Joseph Jeffery and Sarah Ann Talbot, on 21 May 1863 at Noble Co., OH, Ceremony by William D. Lowery.4 William James Wendell lived on 8 July 1870 at Oxford Twp., Guernsey Co., OH, lived adjacent to his parents.5 He lived in 1880 at Millwood Twp., Guernsey Co., OH.6 He lived in 1890 at Barnesville, Belmont Co., OH, appears to have been separated from Susannah as of the 1890 Veterans schedule for the census.3 He lived on 4 June 1900 at 412 Spring Street, Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH, pensioner.7 He lived on 4 April 1910 at 1129 Margaret Avenue, Canton, Stark Co., OH, in son John's household.8 He died on 8 November 1911 at Canton, Stark Co. (probably), OH, at age 72. He was buried on 10 November 1911 at Northwood Cemetery, Sec. 8, Lots 35 - 46, Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH, Findagrave #106642694.
Note: Was living in the household of Thomas Burson as a farm hand at the time of the 1860 census, p.240, adjacent to the farm of Joseph Jeffery, his future father in-law. Thomas Burson's family is in the 1850 census as well, p.205B.
Per card index at Northwood Cemetery, the burial plot was purchased by a John Wendell. This was probably his son (b. 1880), with whom he was living in 1910 at Canton.
The following stories came down to his great-granddaughter Olive R. Wendell, through her father, Earl, a grandson of William J. Wendell:
As a retired widower in Cambridge, every year at Christmas William would go to the market and buy fresh oysters, which were only available at that time of year. He would take these to the home of whichever child he was living with, and ask to have them prepared for oyster stew. Also, he loved to hear a Victrola played in the years before his death. In the families of his children and grandchildren, there were seldom-spoken references to the fact that he and Susanna had not always gotten along very well, and had in fact separated at one point (see the information on Cora's placement in foster care below). The 1890 veteran's census, in which he is found living at Barnesville, indicates he was living alone at that time. Interestingly, in the Northwood cemetery where they are buried, their headstones are facing in opposite directions to this day. DLB 2005.

William Sherman Wendell
M, b. 17 December 1867, d. 12 April 1928
William Sherman Wendell was also known as "Billy". He was born on 17 December 1867 at Guernsey Co., OH. He was the son of William James Wendell and Susannah A. Jeffery. William Sherman Wendell married Rosa Marie Bragg, daughter of Thomas Hutchison Bragg and Rachel Ann Cornelius, on 17 April 1896 at Guernsey Co., OH, Ceremony by Rev. A. M. Shepperd. Because she was under the age of consent, Rosa's mother signed the marriage license application.1 William Sherman Wendell lived in June 1900 at Liberty Twp., Guernsey Co., OH,
A Nellie Wendell, age 1, shown as "granddaughter" was living in the household of William Alloway, very near the residence of William and Rosa Wendell, in Liberty Twp., as of the 1900 census (census p.203A). Nellie was the daughter of Dova B. Alloway, unmarried daughter of William and Elizabeth Alloway. A certified copy of Nellie's Guernsey County birth record, signed by her mother, is in the possession of Donald L. Boyd. It shows a pen stroke through the block where the father should have been named. Nellie's father is unproven, but the circumstantial indications suggest strongly that she was an illegitimate daughter of William S. Wendell.
Dova Belle Alloway subsequently married Walter Allender in March, 1902 and in the 1910 census Nellie's age was "adjusted" to indicate a birth year of 1902 or 1903. Nellie Allender married Elihew O'Dowd about 1916, and died in 1971 at Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. A copy of Nellie's Ohio death certificate is in the possession of Donald L. Boyd -- it shows her father as Walter Allender. Ohio Department of Health, Division of Vital Statistics Death Certificate #075262, Dr. W. Thatcher, signed 18 OCT 1971, information provided by her daughter Madelyn Scott.
The William S. Wendell family migrated to Columbiana County, Ohio sometime in the first decade of the 20th century, continuing as tenant farmers.
The same William and Elizabeth Alloway were still living in Liberty Twp. in 1910. They were found in Wheeling Twp. in the 1880 census.
William S. Wendell was described by his children as being extremely likable, even charming, such that he was easily able to acquire tenant-farmer work, but was subject to losing his money (and perhaps other problems) when under the influence of alcohol, which condition was the subject of a major row with his son Earl at a point in time around 1920, as reported by Earl's daughter Olive Wendell. It seems there was a pattern in William's life of coming home broke and intoxicated, followed nine months later by the birth of another child. In the "counseling" session that happened around 1920, son Earl advised his father that the behavior had to stop, for the sake of the existing children, and in light of the family's serious poverty.2
He lived on 26 April 1910 at Fairfield Twp., Columbiana Co., OH.3 He lived in January 1920 at Jackson Twp., Stark Co., OH.4 He died on 12 April 1928 at Canton, Stark Co., OH, at age 60. Cause of death: Pneumonia. He was buried in April 1928 at Forest Hill Cemetery, Canton, Stark Co., OH, Fairmount West Row 14, Findagrave #97509961.
