William Fugat Wampler Ada N. Judah

Leaping off from William Fugat Wampler's obituary as a starting point, of sorts, I discovered the following information about this individual and his family:

He was one of eight children of Michael Manley Wampler and Permelia A. Clark of Monroe County, Indiana. Basing from his headstone/marker - William Fugat Wampler went by his middle name and, on this marker, it was spelt Fuget. I have come across his middle name spelt "Fugat", "Fugate", or "Fuget". He married Ada N. Judah on/around August 12 1894 in Gruthrie, Lawrence County, Indiana. From my research, thus far, they had two daughters.

Bessie Wampler was born in 1902 and married Harley Rayl(e) in 1922. They had two sons: Wilbur Lee "Buck" and Donald Keith Rayle. They also had two daughters: Doris and Trucilla Rayle. Bessie Wampler and Harley Rayle are buried in Clear Creek Cemetery in Monroe County, Indiana - as is their son, Wilbur Lee "Buck" Rayle.

Anna Wampler was born in 1904 and married Fred Benjamin Taylor. They had a son, Raymond Eulis Taylor in 1926.

Ada N. Judah Wampler also died, from a heart attack, at the home of Bessie Wampler and Harley Rayle according to her obituary notice shared in the Bloomington Telephone on June 27 1941.

But, and you had to know that was coming, according to the Wampler/Wampfler Database website has William Fugate Wampler listed with different parents (therefore also with a completely different set of siblings):

[jc5-10]   William Fugate, WAMPLER
  b. 1848
  m. Ada JUDAH
  n. mother was Nancy
  n. Allan Greeley {awg} gives name as William Frederick
  sc. {awg}
  l. [he0-8]Johann->[jc1-2]Christian->[jc2-1]John->[jc3-4]Johann->[jc4-10]Daniel=>1)

Above his birth year is listed as 1848, whereas I have it later: 1871. It may be that the aforementioned Allan Greeley is correct, and this is a different William (William Frederick Wampler) - as the two somehow became confused in the research - so the marriage information shared for the 1848 William would be also be incorrect since it is for the 1871 William. Fuget Wampler is listed as the son of Michael Wampler and Permelia Clark within her obituary notice. As she had a brother named Fuget, I am going to simply assume she passed along the name to one of her sons.
