Five Hundred Years in the New World, Vol. 1, 1: Wharton/Whorton & Allied Families of North Carolina & Beyond, 1684-2021, Akin Lynn Hughes

Hughes Akin has set out to follow the evidence. Many families have legends that have been passed down from member to member, but with historical records, it is possible that details were missed or misconstrued along the way. This is the challenge of familial research. In her effort to capture as full a picture of the family as possible, the author has meticulously researched each member of the Wharton family included in this book. All pertinent data has been recorded using simple genealogy research techniques available, including registers, wills, marriage records, death records, censuses, graves, and more.
