PEREGRINE HOGG WHARTON

Born in Philadelphia February 14, 1765, Peregrine Hogg Wharton named for his Grandfather. It is unlikely that they ever met since Peregrine Hogg returned to London before his grandson was born and died there.

Peregrine Wharton chose Jane Brown, daughter of Benjamin for his wife. She was born May 17, 1776 and together they had eleven children, as follows:

• Anthony Morris born June 19, 1794, m. Hezekiah Cecil
• Peregrine born December 02, 1795, died December 07, 1795
• William born November 13, 1796
• Frederick Augustus born August 13, 1798
• Henry born September 04, 1800, died March 05, 1804
• Lewis born October 24, 1802
• Mary Ann born August 17, 1804, died December 30, 1876, Philadelphia, m. Samuel Powel Griffitts
• Clementine born October 26, 1806, died May 01, 1810
• Chamless born December 16, 1808 died December 18, 1808
• Jane born November 12, 1809, died in infancy

A little trivia. Chamless appears to be a very unlucky name for Whartons. Of the three who where given the name all died very young!
