Research Notes by Linda Reno
If the following is to be believed, it was Ann Bradford who married Diggs and Wharton.
CHARLES HENRY WHARTON, D. D. , 1784—1833. FROM THE RT. REV. GEORGE W. DOANE, D. D. . LL. D. BISHOP OT THE DIOCESE OF -NEW JERSEY . River Side, November 10, 1857.
Charles Henry Wharton was born in St. Mary's County, in Maryland , on the 25th of May, 0. S. (answering to our 5th of June,) A. D., 1748. His ancestors were Roman Catholics; and the family plantation called Notley Hall, from a Governor of that name, was presented to his grandfather by Lord Baltimore. From him it descended to the father, Jesse Wharton ; and at his death, in 1754, became the property of Charles Henry, his elder son. His mother, Ann Bradford, like his father, was descended from a respectable family among the first settlers of the Province, he describes her as " a woman of sweet manners and uncommon beauty ;" and in a little sketch of his first fifteen years, written with such exquisite simplicity, tenderness, and beauty as to occasion deep regret that it extends no farther, he says,—" Many of her maternal precepts and tender caresses are still fresh in my memory, and frequently present her dear image to my mind."
