Note:


The biological father of Mariah Ridgway's son James Augustine Wendell was in all likelihood John, son of William D. and Effie (DeLong) Wendell, born 1833 in Ohio, died 1898 at Logan County, Illinois. Here are the documented facts available today:

- Mariah Ridgway married a John "Windall" on 21 MAR 1861 in Pike County, Ohio, per marriage record archives in the Pike County Probate Court.

- Mariah gave birth to James Augustine "Jay Gus" Wendell in July, 1861, per the 1900 census. His death certificate shows his age as 76 years, as of 39 NOV 1937.

- Mariah remarried, using her maiden name, and with her father's written approval, to Henry Clay Cave on 7 APR 1864 in Ross County, Ohio, per the Ross County Intention to Marry and marriage record.

- Mariah and Henry Cave were living in Monticello Twp., Jones County, Iowa as of the 1870 census, whereas James A. Wendell was living with her parents in Pike County, Ohio. By the 1880 census, "Gus" had relocated to be very close to his mother's residence and is found listed as "Gust", a farm laborer in a farming family one township northwest of Monticello Twp., in Milo Twp., Delaware County, Iowa. The Mariah and Henry Cave family had relocated within the year prior to the 1880 census to Plum Creek Twp., Boone County, Nebraska as evidenced by the birth location of their youngest son, age 1, of Iowa.

- A Y-DNA 37-marker test of a male line Wendell descendant of Philip and Barbara (Swartz) Wendell of Guernsey County, Ohio (the parents of Daniel Wendell whose family lived in Huntington Twp. of Ross County and of William D. Wendell whose son John Wendell and a grandson John Wendell lived in Seal Twp. of Pike County in 1860), matched with high confidence the Y-DNA of a great-grandson of James Augustine "Gus" Wendell.

He graduated from Neville High School in Monroe, La., before attending Louisiana Tech University, where he earned a bachelor of science in petroleum engineering in 1959.

He flew 67 combat missions in an F-105D fighter bomber against targets in North Vietnam and other areas where hostile communist forces were operating. On the 67th combat mission, he led a complex strike force against a series of heavily defended targets north of Hanoi. A piece of shrapnel from a Soviet built SAM caused his aircraft to be enveloped in flames. His immediate capture was the prologue to a saga of 2,370 days of captivity by the North Vietnamese, where he survived stark conditions and unbridled cruelty. Ever the optimist, he viewed this period of his life as his single greatest learning experience, finding comfort in caring for his fellow prisoners of war. After his return on March 4, 1973, John brought his engineering acumen and flying experience to bear on 20 major weapon design projects, including serving as project manager of the conventional cruise missile and the No. 2 man on the AMRAAM.

He retired from the Air Force in 1979 at the rank of lieutenant colonel. He graduated with a master of business administration in finance and behavioral science from Southern Methodist University in 1975, where he met his wife, Bebe, and they married the same year. His work as a registered professional engineer involved acquisitions, finance, operations and evaluations of both conventional and unconventional oil and gas projects over the course of three decades. In recent years, as an entrepreneur, he was focused on improving the environment by transforming the negative externalities of natural gas production into a new source of purified water. Survivors: In addition to his wife of 34 years, Margaret Ann "Bebe" Ware Wendell, John is survived by their children, Ware Victor Wendell and his wife, Robyn, Margaret Kathryn Wendell, Elizabeth Kathleen Wendell and Morton Edward Wendell and his husband, Jonathan Hubble; John's children, Kathryn Elise Wendell, Angela Christine Hayes and her husband, Donnie, and John H.
