I know this isn't really what you are looking for but there is a town in Texas called Wharton. Perhaps if you could find information about the founder or namesake of the town, it could lead you to the origins of the name.Britney Tamber

What does the name mean?
Last Name: wharton
English: habitational name from any of various places called Wharton. Examples in Cheshire and Herefordshire are from an Old English river name Wæfer (derived from wæfre ‘wandering’, ‘winding’) + Old English tūn ‘settlement’; another in Lincolnshire has as its first element Old English wearde ‘beacon’ or waroð ‘shore’, ‘bank’; one in the former county of Westmorland (now part of Cumbria) is from Old English hwearf ‘wharf’, ‘embankment’ + tūn.
