Charles Henry Wharton (June 5, 1748 – July 22, 1833), who grew up Catholic and became a Catholic priest, converted to Protestantism and became one of the leading Episcopal clergyman of the early United States, as well as briefly served as president of Columbia University. ==Early Life== The family plantation, Notley Hall, was presented to his grandfather by Lord Baltimore.〔Hills, George Morgan (1876). ''History of the Church in Burlington, New Jersey'', p. 342. Trenton, New Jersey: William S. Sharp.〕 In 1760 he was sent to the English Jesuit College at St Omer,〔Tyler, Moses Coit (1897). ''The Literary History of the American Revolution, 1763-1783'', Vol. II, p. 166. G. P. Putnam's Sons.〕 where he was very studious, and became fluent in Latin, so as to even be able to converse in it. He was ordered deacon in June, 1772, and priest the following September, both in the Roman Catholic Church. At the close of the American Revolution Wharton resided at Worcester, England, as chaplain to the Roman Catholics in that city. There he addressed a poetical epistle to George Washington, with a sketch of his life, which was published for the benefit of American prisoners in England (Annapolis, 1779; London, 1780).
