Wharton family.
Thomas Wharton, the patriarch of Philadelphia's Wharton family, emigrated from England to Philadelphia, probably sometime during the 1680s. Wharton, a Quaker merchant, was a member of Philadelphia's Common Council. He and his wife, Rachel Thomas, had eight children, a number of whom became prominent in the city's mercantile affairs. This tradition was continued through subsequent generations as well.
