There are two Wendel Sturms. There is this profile, christened 1709, son of Christian & Anna Barbara. He may be the man who emigrated with a wife & 4 children from Germany to the Colonies in 1749 [1]. If he did so, it would make sense for him to settle near his brother Johann Jacob Sturm the Elder in Frederick, Maryland.

Then there is the other Wendel Sturm (often called Storm), the nephew of the above, son of Johann Jacob Sturm the Elder. He emigrated with his family as a small child in 1728. He was alive in 1757 and probably living in Frederick, Maryland, when his father named him in his will, proved in Frederick. So the two men could easily be confused.

I think the relation to Christian Sturm may be skipping a generation https://www.geni.com/people/John-The-Elder-Sturm/6000000001180362463 but I don't have any primary source documents to help

I think you're right. I vaguely recall hearing this before. Would you be able to share further details? Geni and I have had a parting of ways.
My family's typewritten notes say he was the son of Jacob Sturm the elder, which matches https://www.geni.com/people/Johann-Wendel-Sturm/6000000003927062369
