Hi Jodi,
I hope you checked the "Notify me . . ." box. I'm not e-mailing you.
This looks like your Andrew, but his wife's maiden name looks to be Rupert, not Wentling. (See below)

Jennie there will be 30 in 1906. William will be 55 in 1933. The surnames match, the children match, but 30 is old to marry in 1900 - 1920. William was a late starter too.
Your 2nd great grandfather could be born anywhere from 80 to 320 years ago. You can sort of guess birth dates from marriage dates, as most people marry between 16 and 26, but birth dates nail people down a LOT better than relationships do. You didn't mention a place, either. You are probably an American; the Brits and Aussies usually mention a countriy. Canadians do about half the time.
Catherine Rupert there may be a very young widow. She may be Elizabeth's half-sister instead of sister. She may be none of the above.
Curious, I looked at RWWC,

Patricia Heath has over 100,000 individuals, which is usually a bad sign, but her Boals/Wentling data is well-documented. She says Elizabeth's mother married
1) Daniel Wentling
2) Jacob Rupert
so, this Andrew looks to be the one you meant and Catharine there is a half sister-in-law.
There are a couple of Andrew Boals/Boles born 1828 - 1838 in Pennsylvania in the 1870, 1860 and 1850 census indices, but without another point of reference I can't pick any of them.
