Just found a whole passel of my Whortons in Navarro County, TX.

For years, I've looked for them as Whartons.

Apparently, Jeptha Whorton - son of Thomas Jefferson Wharton (1800-1894) - was the one of the children to change the spelling of the surname in my direct line.

So, they've been under my nose for a long time...

Here's the problem. There is a great deal of confusin about Jeptha Whorton from Texas. Alot of either inaccurate or mixed info is out there. My grandfather is Jeptha Whorton with the same birthday but different death dates and different spouses. Really confused. Darrell Whorton of Harrison AR

Read the census records very carefully.

Jeptha H Whorton's (b 1818 in GA, d 19 Jan 1883 in Navarro Co., TX) household make-up is easy to track.

I host my family tree at Rootsweb. Here's the link for Jeptha Whorton, which contains my research notes on the entry.
