Samuel Wharton1
M, #103626, b. before 1716, d. after 1775
| Last Edited | 30 Dec 2025 |
Samuel Wharton was born before 1716 at Hanover Parish, Richmond Co., Virginia, USA.1 He married Dianah Arnold, daughter of Isaac Arnold (Sr.) and Margaret Goffe, before 15 September 1737 at Hanover Parish, King George Co., Virginia, USA.1
Samuel Wharton died after 1775 at Hanover Parish, King George Co., Virginia, USA.1
;
From Early Colonial Settlers:
we know that Samuel's (b. 1684) son Samuel Jr. died in 1738 spotsylvania so that only leaves as a possibility that his brother John (1686-1720) had a son Samuel that married Dianah Arnold and was still living in 1775.
