Hello,
I've done some more checking and here is the 1850 censu index with Jessie's
grandfather and great grandparents [her mother's side of the family]:
1850 United States Federal Census
about John Shigley
Name: John Shigley
Age: 23
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Birth Place: Ohio
Gender: Male
Home in 1850(City,County,State): Nottingham, Wells, Indiana
Household Members: Name Age
George Shigley 44
Barbary Shigley 42
John Shigley 23
Fredrick Shigley 22
Susan Shigley 16
George M Shigley 15
Rachael Shigley 13
Samuel Shigley 6
Everyone here was born in Ohio except the youngest, Samuel, who was born in Indiana.
I looked for Jessie's father in Ohio, but there were a lot of William Johnson's
born about the same time and I couldn't say which one was him. I don't want to get
the wrong one and research the wrong family. I could not locate John Shigley's wife
Mariah either.

Here is the 1900 index for Virgil and parents. On this one they have Virgil as a female
for some reason and his father is down as Lannie, but this is the same family as the 1910
census, so this is your Virgil:
