SOURCES AND LINKS

A note on sources

For over five years I have been digging into the Whartons of Philadelphia , during that time I have come across numerous sources and tidbits from fellow researchers. Because the sources are numerous I am listing here, as best as possible,  all the sources I have used to put together the material on these pages, rather than repeat them over and over. If you can suggest additional ones for fellow researchers please email me and I will add them.  I am of course very grateful to my fellow internet digger's who have provided information and regret I can not list them all. Researching one's  family never ends! Where you can link directly to the source I have highlighted the reference so just click and go, but be sure to come back!

Two references of special note:

The Wharton's of Philadelphia, Anna H. Wharton, 1880 JB Lippincott (I have a copy and will do look-ups) This is the primary reference for early Whartons

Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College this collection which includes access to Bryn Mawr, Haverford  and the Univ. of Penn. is also the location of the papers of  Joseph Wharton, industrialist. Simply a great place to work!
