Notes for Joseph Jr. WHARTON
He was at first successful in business, but losses during the time of the Revolution and a series of reverses caused him to retire. He died Dec. 25, 1816. It is said that he went to England about 1775, and while there wrote a number of letters on the attitude of Great Britain to the Colonies, and these, published in some papers, attracted so much attention that WHARTON was forced to leave the country hurriedly to insure his safety.
