Historical and Biographical. Charles Blanchard, Editor. Chicago: F. A. Battey & Co., Publishers, 1884. Monroe County Biographical Sketches, Richland Township, p. 641 WHARTON, AGE, BERRY, COOPER, plus ref. to: Gen. JACKSON Stanfield WHARTON, retired farmer, is a native of Orange County, Va., was born August 15,1809, and is the oldest son of a family of eight born to Joseph and Sarah (AGE) WHARTON, both natives of Virginia, who moved to Lincoln County, Ky., where Stanfield was born and reared to the profession of farmer. He received but a limited education, and remained in the service of his parents until his majority, when he worked for himself as a farm hand, and saved $200. January 9, 1834, he married Miss Ann E. BERRY, who died October 21, 1853, having borne six sons and three daughters, of whom are living - Joseph B., Green Lawrence and Burton T. Mr. WHARTON married for his second wife, January 19, 1854, Miss Parthenia J. COOPER, and to this union succeeded ten children, eight of whom are living - James W., Mary M., Amanda M., Lorena Esther, Fernando D., Luella E., Silas M. and Issac E. After his marriage, Mr. WHARTON farmed on rented land for about six years, then cleared some land, following which he purchased a farm, and succeeded in getting several farms in this State and in Iowa, but returned there from after two years, and lived in Owen County. In 1869, he moved to his present home, then as a desert, and now blossoming as a rose, containing 160 acres, well improved and cultivated, and one of the best farms in the township - a result due to himself alone. Mr. WHARTON cast his first vote for Gen. JACKSON. He is a much respected citizen.
